a: Bacteria ~
b: shark
What: "You may think that good hand hygiene before every crime would protect you but you'd be wrong. The roughly 150 different species of bacteria on our hands replenish themselves quickly after a good hand washing. You wouldn't want to get rid of them either. Bacteria are like sharks. A small percentage of them will eagerly bite your head off but the vast majority are harmless, even beneficial."

a: herd immunity ~
b: moat around a castle
What:
"The idea of herd immunity is like a moat around a castle or the natural behavior of herd animals when threatened by a predator. The strong surround the weak to protect them from attack; in this case the vaccinated protect those who can't be vaccinated or those with low immunity from contact with the flu by halting the spread of the virus."
