6. "I trust my immune system" is the stupidest slogan

I guess some ignorant 21st Centurians, who never suffered from the childhood diseases and recover from strep throat in a few hours, don't realize vaccines and antibiotics are, you know, supplementing the immune system.

People used to die of diseases we don't even get anymore. It's not the immune system that is responsible.

Not to mention immune systems often go crazy, leading to the many auto-immune diseases that sicken modern people.
