What an awesome article! Taking the wind out of the sails of Big Medico/Pharma is the best anyone can do for the health of the populous. If everyone would look into the creation of the western medical monolith and it's partner in crime, the pharmaceutical industry, they would never allow their health to be relinquished to this terrible system. If less people patronized them, they wouldn't have such a frightening grasp on our lives. I'm not speaking about the doctors who go into medicine with a genuine interest in people's health, but they too, must cave to the system. Thank you for this article. Western medicine's flaws must be brought to light and the greed and corruption exposed.

Dr. Rosenau's work was duplicated by the UK Challenge Trial (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-022-01780-9) where nearly half did not get infected. The others were infected. Perhaps that affirms a pathogen that made otherwise healthy young people ill.

In fact, one need not dismiss either theory. What we do know is that the immune system is quite complex and has evolved over many years exposed to various insults. I suspect we don't fully understand all of the details in the huge chemical dance in our bodies.

Given my osteoporosis earned via kidney assaults from chemo poisons in hopes of fighting a cancer, I've learned a bit about calcium balance. A very complex interaction involving Vit D, the PTH and Vit K2. Science is still trying to understand how that works. They can't even agree on the exact version of K2 in terms of molecular arrangement for supplementation. K2 is nominally synthesized in the gut from K1, leafy greens. Again there is disagreement regarding the form of K2 created in the body.

From the above, we are still trying to understand our own bodies.
