Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

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

Huh?
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.
Smart idea.
