nounsuperdodger (plural superdodgers)
plural superdodgers
- Someone especially resistant to a widespread infectious disease.
Over the course of human history, scientists have identified only two instances of true virus superdodgers. That is, where a specific mutation in their genes makes people completely resistant to a virus. So that it slides off their cells, "like water sliding off a glass window," as Casanova puts it.
