Saul and Tanya... Family Immune?

I'm saying, If it ever happens that Tanya goes to ground zero and she can breath. And also Michael goes and can't breath then definately something is up lol

Lets Bstorm..Saul, Michael, Puck have been deployed..not sure about Angel. How would Tanya get those shots tho? Was Hope ever involved with the military? And suggested it? I dont know...I totally cant see Hopes big role. You guys are saying Hope will save the day...but I need answers!! Why do youthink this? Cause she has not done anything significant? IDK...I will think more...I am so tired I am typing with my eyes shut...and I am not checking my spelling or doing a reread..hope this makes sense!

you don't have to be in the military to get immunization for different diseases, if she worked as an aide worker of some kind in a third world nation, she would have received the same immunizations.

Tanya might have... anyways, its another theory.

The last time the small pox vaccine was offered in the United States was early 1972. I was one of the last children to receive it as a vaccine. I got my second small pox in 1986 in boot camp. Its no longer given to new military recruits. I'm not sure if its offered even for over seas aide work as the last known outbreak was in Somalia in 1977. Its pretty much a defunct disease. I think the last known samples are Russia and the USA..

I got the smallpox vaccine in 1995, and then again in 2003. I think a couple of my co-workers got it in 2005. They're supposed to be good for 10 years, so I should ask my doc if I'll have to get it again. I don't mind, because NO ONE believed I got it the first time in '95 until they saw my shot records, so I'm willing to keep on getting it.

Thanks. It's paraphrased from a Redd Foxx joke I heard so it's not original.

It's not a shot persay it's a series of shallow punctures that leaves a rather distinct scar the info I got was direct from the CDC and personal experience. Are you sure your not getting it confused with a tetanus vaccination.?

It could be a shot, It could be genetics, i'm still sticking to my guns that their is something fishy with that family "Victor Voice"

Or it could just be something to do with the IV drips. Saul clearly has one that we can assume aided him somehow. Tanya is a medical personal, meaning that she has access to a large variety of drugs both before and after her bite incident. It could just be coincidence that she was somehow on medication for something that prevents the zombie infection?

Oh no, I got that smallpox thingie. Like you, I got stuck a couple of times (3 the first time, I believe, and 15 for the follow-up). Shot records confirmed it and the medic at the time of the 2nd time saw the scar from the first time.

Occam's razor people, the simplest answer is often correct. They are naturally immune to whatever turns other people into zombies and will be a thread of hope for lasting human survival. I'm sure their blood will end up being used to develop anti-bodies.
