During Napoleon’s retreat from Russia in 1812,1 countless soldiers of the French army succumbed to infectious diseases, but the responsible pathogen or pathogens remain debated.2,3,4,5 We recovered and sequenced ancient DNA from the teeth of 13 soldiers who, based on historical records, likely died from infectious diseases, aiming to identify the pathogens responsible for their deaths.6 Our results confirmed the presence ...

Nononono that's not how the #immuneSystem works! I think your very rational point regarding "?what must be set to zero for this to make sense to a systems-architect" is a most excellent one. Any degree of immunity in #healthcare workers contributes to transmissible pathogens being, well, less-transmitted. When these folks are spending all their time caring for the sick and infirm, that's a lot of moments of reduced-transmission (into a ripe breeding-ground for the pathogen) that happen as a result. Don't even get me started on what happens when a whole #hospital ward changes status from some sort of "normal" status to some sort of "infectious" status. There are a LOT of things that have to be valued at (or near) zero for this to make sense.
Also keep in mind that exposure to the pathogen or the vaccine carries some risk... These folks are willing to take that risk - essentially - for free! What a treat.
But wait there's more! These healthcare workers are governed by a famously unsympathetic regulator, who will have little sympathy should standards have fallen because n of the workers were off sick. Those who do go into work are willing to carry that risk, also for free! And even more, some of them might be feeling a bit rubbish too, making it even less probable they can meet those regulatory standards. And they're willing to carry that risk for free too!
I think there's a heap of stuff being valued at zero here, and this is just that which is apparent in a very superficial rant...

The world did very little to help the sick in the Third World at the time of Albert Schweitzer. I wonder how many diseases once only afflicting the global poor are in emergency rooms in New York City right now.
