Comment on Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good?

It has lots of false positives and false negatives. It is actually a very simplistic system, if it was “smart enough” we wouldn’t have diseases. In fact, a good number of diseases, especially chronic ones that millions or billions of people suffer from throughout their lives, are actually the immune system’s fault. It is not a “smart” system. It is clever. Sometimes. Until it’s not.
