The endemic infectious disease is constantly found over long the periods of time, but it is usually occurs at only a low incidence in the population. The epidemics may be originate from a common source or host to host origin. In epidemiology, the basic reproduction is the typical number of secondary cases of an infectious disease arising from a characteristic case in a totally susceptible population and it is denoted by R 0 .

Q#1: Immunodeficiency can occur in any of the four major components of the immune system: B cells (antibody), T cells, complement, and phagocytes. Give two examples of immunodeficiencies in which one or two components were missing/abnormally produced? Give the reason behind it? Also write down the symptoms and suggest treatment for the patient?

PRACTICE EVALUATING CLAIMS Social media posts reveal that not everyone agrees on or accepts the important role of herd immunity, as strongly stated in the blog post below. The fact is that CDC works for big pharma/special interests not public safety as the CDC whistle blower documents prove. The fact is that this is about money not public safety. The fact is that some of these vaccines have little benefit/effectiveness and serious risks. The fact is real natural immunity and vaccine derived immunity are not the same thing at all and our babies would be protected from many/most infectious diseases if their mothers were allowed to have natural immunity and pass it to their babies in breast milk, and we had true herd immunity through adults who had lifelong natural immunity. The fact is vaccine induced immunity typically does not hold for long and often misses the target, and the neurotoxins and foreign ingredients/DNA, etc. are causing a generation of allergic/arthritic/immune system…
