  That is such an appalling misunderstanding of...everything, that I can only suggest you read a book. For you, I recommend "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and work your way up from there.

    Let me recommend something to you. It's called Autoimmune diseases. Good luck

        Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and also stop breaking the site guidelines? You've been doing both of those things a lot, unfortunately. But you've also posted good (for HN) comments. If you'd stick to the latter, we'd be grateful. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      1. Not really 2. No, viruses do not behave like bacteria. 3. To balance my upvotes against my downvotes to maintain my karma at 2600.
