It basically said that every person who has had the flu ever since then up to now has had a mutated version of that same virus.

It reminds me of this from war of the worlds (do Morgan freeman in your head )
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]From the moment the invaders arrived, breathed our air, ate and drank, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man's weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures that God in his wisdom put upon this earth. By the toll of a billion deaths, man had earned his immunity, his right to survive among this planet's infinite organisms. And that right is ours against all challenges. For neither do men live nor die in vain.[/color]

Great book.


It could be argued that medicine, including vaccines, does make the human race less resilient - generally speaking.

That's a pretty poor argument. We would be in a very bad place at the very least without medicine.
