This is what we should all be aiming for. The Mr. Burns effect, where there's so many different ailments present at once that nothing can actually do anything.

Go inject with dirty needles, drink stagnant water, lick the hands of every child you encounter. Only by filling yourself to the brim with germs can you achieve immortality.
