      Well whatever it was he needed to do he needed to harvest large amounts of the fungus at once, which was completely intermingled with her brain tissue, rather than just taking out something like a tumor It's like taking out the ADAM slugs in Bioshock

      Also, I doubt they have the precise, well maintained tools from before the apocalypse or the opportunity to sharpen their specialized medical skills for nearly two decades. The infrastructure that can train brain surgeon was long gone.

      Again, I'm just accepting what they say about the fungus in the dialogues as accurate - whether it's realistic in our world is not the question (absolutely nothing about the situation is scientifically plausible)

      The fungus isn't a separate tumor attached to the brain, it's become intermingled with and indistinguishable from her brain tissue, and in order to culture it into a vaccine he apparently needs to take out enough of it to fill a coffee cup and put it in a blender

      ok but even if it's true, how do they know it?

      <waves hands> science! I mean it's a general convention in science fiction to accept "one impossible thing." The cordyceps is an impossible thing, but for TLOU narrative purposes I think Ellie's brain actually is (the writers thought the cordyceps made more sense than it did)

      (and wrt the dynamics of cordyceps infection, it was a lot easier to not get into specifics when we weren't living through a miniature disease apocalypse) Anyway, I think we're meant to believe Jerry was correct based on what he was working with

      And I can think of ways for that to be true, they're just moving into the realm of "super science" which it turns out the cordyceps mandates anyway

      My most hard-science guess - and I should run this past my brother and sister in law, who are not brain surgeons but my brother is a surgeon and my SIL is a doctor, and I'm pretty sure they've both played the games - is that the 'ceps has become somehow symbiotic w/Ellie

      Like, it may have replaced some specific function within her brain, such that removing it would cause her to die bc her body couldn't/wouldn't resume normal functioning We know they've done these dissections on primates, so it's not like they know nothing in story

      Yeah Ellie isn't actually their first ever experiment, they've done many autopsies on people in various stages of infection
