>You source simple concepts and then use a children's book to back up your final claim?
Yes, because the concepts of healthcare in the US are absurd, and it's easily illustrated through a children's story book. In the US diabetes (1 version of it) has no known cause or cure, but in other countries (where there is free health care) it has a known cause and cure.
>...medical advances are often necessary...
Again, in countries with government supported healthcare they recognize that lifestyle choices are the number 1 cause of preventable disease. Number 1. What is "often necessary" in the US is in reality a rare exception.
Consider smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, junk food diets, no exercise, etc... these all are widely _known_ to deplete the immune system. So the only argument left for hacked viruses is for people with auto-immune diseases or other serious compromised systems, which is in fact rare.
Can you offer an example of when it would be required (or useful) to replace the bodies immune system with an alternative?
Any foreign substance added to the body (even if it's fighting an infection) still needs to be cleaned out by the immune system. So adding viruses that attack bacteria isn't a zero sum game.
