Ironically, some combination of the disease's (apparently) multiple pathologies discourages [[Flood Super Cell]]s. This explains why Sergeant Avery Johnson could not be infected when he and his squad were ambushed by the [[Flood]] on [[Installation 04]], leading Master Chief to his moral dilemma. Dr. [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Catherine Halsey]] guesses that there'd be a billion to one chance that Johnson's condition could be reproduced. | Ironically, some combination of the disease's (apparently) multiple pathologies discourages [[Flood Super Cell]]s.

Technically, there is no explicit proof of what about Boren's Syndrome discourages Flood. It may be that the nervous system of someone with the disease simply cannot support Flood. A strong hypothesis is that an infection form attempting to latch on to a host with Boren's Syndrome would recognize the characteristic neurological disturbances as "irreparable damage". | Technically, there is no explicit proof of what about Boren's Syndrome discourages Flood.
