The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You would think that, like fighting a war on two fronts, your system would potentially run into resource constraints in dealing with what it perceives as multiple invaders.

I grant that intuitively it may seem that the immune system is like an army, but my understanding of the immune system in general is that the war analogy may not work. The immune system doesn't have to choose which invader to fight. It routinely recognizes and responds to thousands of different antigens simultaneously and that multiple vaccines don't create a resource-allocation problem. That's why I asked about specific studies that may go against the general idea of how the immune system works.
