I'm no scientist, but the way a scientist we do know explained it, it seems as if it's fighting the disease, sure, but it's also fighting you." Holden frowned, wishing he was a little better at explaining this. "He's called Hartley Rathaway, that scientist. I'm sure he won't mind meeting you and telling you himself. He comes to the support group meetings. His partner is quite sick."

With an attitude to match. "Remember. Felix isn't taking those and he's not doing so badly. You've seen him."
