    I doubt it to be possible, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try. Even if you miss the moon, you learn from the process.

      The point is that it is not really a vaccine. A vaccine is against a specific threat, like this or that virus, and if it is good, against this or that virus class.

      This stuff works by keeping your immune system on a hightened alert status, so it can react faster to any incoming, known threat. The known part is important here.

      And if this “keeping the immune system on a permanent alert status” was any good on the long run, nature would long have normalized this, so there must be a severe drawback to it.

        I read somewhere that when default body temperature was defined (100+ years ago), it was half a degree higher than nowadays, with all the hand washing, vaccines, etc. So maybe high alert used to be the norm.
