Oh no, not at all.

All I was trying to do with the coworker I mentioned is at least impress on him how it is transmitted, and knowing he has family, to impress on him the need to protect his kids and grand kids.

As I said, he listened. And he did so intently. I know because of the relationship I have with the man. We respect each other. But his ultimate answer was still astounding.

But there you go.

He is a good and decent sort, but he has his faith and it will not be shaken.
