"Engineering viruses isn't in the realm of possibility for a fully functioning civilization let alone a Zedpoc one. Good thought though.

"Not that simple. You need to isolate the antigen that kills the pathogen, and then see how it kills it. If it recognises just a portion, you can isolate that portion, multiply it, kill it, and you have a vaccine. But a vaccine is not a cure.

A cure would reverse the effects of the pathogen, or allow the body to repair the damage. But with the symptoms that most people agree on, that just isn't possible.

But saying "their blood will be the cure" is like saying that crude oil runs your car. It's true, but there is a lot of work needed on it before it will actually do that."

"Ohhhh noooo,

Read a book instead. The science in tv and movie dramas is not reliable.

"Well my cop-out answer is that I hand over the blood, the guy/girl or the serum to my brother (Phd Biologist) and say "we need a cure", and let him work on it. :)

Really, anything too technical, I won't claim to have the answers. But from my knowledge, creating an antiserum (technically correct name) by simply extracting the blood and giving it to people would need checking for compatability.

I think I will be sticking with my first instinct and shoving all of the possible walking cure people towards SimonAsani :)"
