What's a good Windows backup program that I can use to download all my Gmail messages to Thunderbird?

Had he done that, he would have been fired the instant the passwords hit the paper. The only reason he remained employed for so long is because no one else knew the passwords.

A vaccination provides you protection against getting the virus. It is not guaranteed protection, but it is better than your chances if you were to come across it without that protection. This is not equivalent to a cure. A cure is a remedy provided to you in order to remove an existing infection from you. Once you have been infected, a vaccination is typically no longer effective, whereas a cure is.

Also to note, not all viruses mutate particularly rapidly, as like the influenza virus. Some, like Chicken Pox, tend to be fairly steady so that a single regiment of the vaccine is sufficient to prevent you from being infected your entire life. Others, as you note influenza, should be had every year because the rate of mutation is that quick.
