Pathogens in food are usually bacterial, which generally can survive in a

While that may be true,

It is not the complete answer to the question.

>> He said something to the effect that he couldn't see how a temperature of 102 or 103 in the human body could kill a virus, when it requires temps of 140 and up to kill pathogens in the food we eat. Wonder if someone here would have a good answer for him?

( not within the body, ....... or I think this reference is not within the body )

Scientists have known for many years,

Conditions that exist in a test tube, or outside the body,

Have no bearing at all,
on what can happen within the body.
 ( Vivo and  Vitro, Two major differences,  Life and NOT life )

Many factors enter into the picture.

To name a few,
Enzymes, solutions, pH,  Ion Concentration,  Type of Ion's
Unknown factors about the immune system,
 ( no scientist in the world, fully understands this, even the ones that
have studied it all their life )
Infinite is the Word.
( Temperature is not the main concern )

Now what else ?
Then genius chemist within the body
and Intercellular communications, ....... for a start.

Finally,
It is a great mistake to compare the chemical laboratory
with the body.   Nothing to compare.

Other ideas welcome, different explanations,
and I might be wrong,

But that is based on many years of study, ........ MINE,
Only 50 years.

Have you studied enough ?
I have not !
