You must bring both of your types of glycoprotein spikes, including haemagglutinin (H) and fusion (F), or you will not be allowed to come. These are required because they allow you to insert the RNA into the host cell and infect them! Without these the party can not occur and you will not be able to cause the measles or mumps in the child!
