We can create vaccines that make us immune to certain illnesses but it's nothing evolution wasn't working on anyway. All we do is speed up the process. Our means are relatively simple; introduce a weakened form of the virus in order to give the body a lesser opponent to prepare it for a possible bigger fight. Evolution does this by afflicting in relatively small numbers. Once a disease spreads healthy people become aware and avoid the "diseased" as well as the things they have now learned made them sick. It is the doctors and researchers who come in to fill this space created by the exodus of the healthy. Religious institutions also provide comfort to the sick because some of their members feel called upon to aid them. They are fighting a formidable opponent with what is considered a weaker force and that's simply good ol' TLC.
The more we're drawn to help the more we separate the disease from the person. Through terminal diseases we learn about areas where we are vulnerable. These cells attack hard and fast and try to shut our bodies down faster than intended. We fight them. They fight back. Why are they so determined to kill us? Perhaps they are the desperate attempt to bring us together. For one they are communicable. That means they are like a message that is passed from person to person. The more people who read this dire message the more aware the general public becomes. It seems evolution is testing us. If we want to stop them we have to stop them. Evolution takes its time. It waits for us to strengthen our immune system after repeated tests. But we look to the trees and the rocks for salvation. And just like evolution through trial and error we find out what works and what doesn't. Drugs are nothing but fusions of universal elements. The "cure" is out there. We just have to find the right bits and bring them together.
