Thanks for including another one of my articles! One thing I haven't thought about, which may be a piece in this whole immunity debt issue, is whether the shift from innate immunity to adaptive immunity may be one of the issues as well. So not only is there no adaptive immunity through training and years of learning through exposure, but for some demographics there may also be a reduction in innate immunity leading to greater susceptibility. So maybe there's incompetence on both ends of the immune spectrum that is leading to the increase in sickness as well.
As I was writing the article I realized that you had gone in depth on the topic, while I'm just looking at broad epidemiological trends. Taking the corporate media to task for their journalistic sins is a big part of why I write these articles--and a key element of those sins is the reality that a number of folks outside of corporate media are doing far better research and far better journalism than corporate media.
Substacks like yours, Brian Mowrey's Unglossed, and Igor Chudov's are essential to making that case.

But that's a bit of pontification for now.
