    Scams have many different vectors

    Many centering on the “unbelievably good deal, act fast before this opportunity gets away…”

    Wash your hands after interacting, keep public spaces clean, that sort of stuff.

    Or, expose people to the challenges and teach (their immune systems, their frontal cortex, whatever) to recognize the bad actors and prevent harm before it starts.

      Sure, vaccines and playing in the mud are nice, but eating playground sand and shaking people’s hands when you have the flu isn’t. Some forms of expose help us, others harm us. If you don’t know, it’s better to err on the side of caution.
