[She's from around Hank's time, then. It's a relief to see not everyone in that time is as strange as that guy.

He makes a noise that's something like a laugh.]

More than a century, huh? That really fills me with confidence.

You'd be surprised how much people fight the push of progress sometimes.

[She's looking at you, antivaxxers.]

A lot of times it's two steps forward, five steps back.

[There are quite a few things that come to mind to bolster her point once she says it, though his mind doesn't jump right to sickness.]

I guess that's one thing that'll never change... But with medicine too? Seriously?

[The flu isn't a particularly hot-button issue for him, but he knows people who would've killed for a cure for TB, for example.]

Well, some medicine is getting better!

[Which is a good thing. But at the same time -]

But at the same time, the illnesses get smarter too. As our medicine evolves, they evolve, so people still get sick.
