    why do you consider those people conservative? What does that action have to do with political affiliation?

    Yes, if you create a perfect on/off death scenario, you have a point. Sadly it has no bearing what so ever in the real world.

    lets say the mortality rate is 70%

    If some dies, was it becasue of the vaccine or Ebola? If he live, is it he is jut one of the 30%, or did the vaccine work?

    Any time someone says strong or weak with regard to the immune system, it's a good clue that don't actually know what they are talking about.

    And yes, people who are ill for ANY REASON have a change in their immune response.
    In your example(brain tumor), Immune cells cause the FasL to commit suicide. Sadly, the FasL proteins are created faster then the immune response can handle. If they can get the gliomas to slow down or stop the expression of the FasL protein, the immune system would take care of the tumor itself. Probably.

    I'm sorry I went off track. You were saying something about 'weakened' immune system that you know so much about?
