    while i get your complaint’s point, i think you’re a bit over-simplyfying this.

    the immune system isn’t just “weak” or “strong”. it must be calibrated.

    for example, allergies exist because the immune system focuses on the wrong things. A strong immune system can be considered healthy and a good thing; that doesn’t mean it should indiscriminately kill anything it encounters. So, the story is a bit more complicated.

    for example, it’s considered healthy for children to play in the dirt, because it teaches the immune system what to focus on.
