Your body is under attack every minute of every hour of every day. The enemy is patient, adaptable, potentially deadly, and invisible. Called the "littlest assassins" and "phantom killers," viruses range from the common cold to HIV and have caused epidemics more devastating than war. This video explains how viruses operate and how your immune system defends you. And it shows scientists turning the tables, transforming invading viruses into agents of healing.

  • "the littlest assassin..."

    oups? :p

  • what's up with youtube nowadays? cause look at this now!

  • Great movie.

    Discovery production ? Wow...

    It must be old video, because today Discovery productions are piece of sh.t.

  • Rockefeller University eh? Louis Pasteur's "germ theory" which has only created the current medical disaster paradigm we are in today.. Hmm.. The failure who profited off of manipulating data also sounds a lot like the Rockefeller owned Big Pharma drug cartel of today.

  • Already two errors in this video:

    1. Viruses are NOT classified as living organisms.

    2. Kuru is NOT caused by a virus, but rather by a prion.

  • Thanks for the upload...excellent vid with wonderful content...peace be with

  • ini bahan ulangan Biologi gw ne...

  • I think one of the more recent definitions places virii into a category of parasitic chemical/genomic infection. They are unable to grow unless they are inside their host organism. Ergo, not life. Kind of a "grey area" definition, but one that seems much more accurate. A gene creature.

  • Look whether or not viruses are living or not is a matter of opinion among scientists.
