I thought this comic was going to end with the white blood cell literally eating him. Because that’s what happens. 😛

Except white blood cells don’t eat viruses, they’re way too small. Our immune system produces antibodies to fight viruses (as opposed to bacteria).

The macrophages do eat viruses. The antibodies are there to turn many small viruses (hard to catch) into one big pile of antibodies and viruses (easy to catch).
