Wow. This opens up a possibility that we can keep exercising our immune system and study the long term effects of that. What if there was a weekly schedule of all diseases to practice immune response against!

I mean he did get 5-10x better reaction from antibodies against covid. Imagine if we could design a course for our immune system to fight every known virus.

Our immune system decays and dies as we age. Maybe keeping it busy can keep it alive a bit longer like exercising a muscle.

Other people are already doing their best to exercise their immune systems against Botox.

It makes sense in theory as it is very similar to say allergy shots.
