Exploring the validity of this traditional concept, embedded in our cultural milieu. As 'obvious' as its validity has been throughout our lifetimes, how rooted in scientific rigor is the premise?
Super interesting insights. As a former high school teacher it was always of interest to me to observe a class full of children during these flu, cough, cold etc outbreaks. Why do some children get ill and others don't when all have been exposed to the virus? A worthy question to explore.
Thanks for reading, Sarah. Yes, I think that is just it - returning to our own unique insights, prioritizing empirical knowledge, and relieving ourselves of the doctrines that refuse to be challenged on the grounds of absolute rule. That in itself is a glaring sign of fallacy, if you ask me. But, yes, the predictable and repeatable absence of "active infection" in "exposed" people is a key clue to look deeper (see the Rosenau experiements from around 1918).
Well done bringing that all together. Of course I’m interested “behind - the - scenes” of what’s going on in a strong & healthy body system!
