a) Many viral illnesses are also caused by bacterial infections, and nothing can cure bacterial infections.

b) Viruses infect blood and fluids rather than cells in the human body, so vaccines are useless against them.

c) Viruses change and mutate at such a high rate that vaccines could not be manufactured quickly enough to keep up with the chan
