Hallo! Okay. Here is a question. Does anyone know more about this
referenced below in this 'Dispelling Vaccination Myths' article? States
that there are people with a condition where they are not even able to
produce antibodies but yet still recover from infection?

An Introduction to the Contradictions between Medical Science and
Immunization Policy

Excerpt:
VACCINATION MYTH #4:
"Vaccination is based on sound immunization theory and practice..."
...or is it?
The clinical evidence for vaccines is their ability to stimulate
antibody production in the recipient. What is not clear, however, is
whether or not antibody production constitutes immunity. For example,
agamma globulin-anemic children are incapable of producing antibodies,
yet they recover from infectious diseases almost as quickly as other
children. [41] Furthermore, a study published by the British Medical
Council in 1950 during a diphtheria epidemic concluded that there was
no relationship between antibody count and disease incidence;
researchers found resistant people with extremely low antibody counts
and sick people with high counts. [42] Natural immunization is a
complex interactive process involving many bodily organs and systems;
it cannot be replicated by the artificial stimulation of antibodies.

That's because, dearest list flooding busy bee-brain, there is more to
immunity than antibody generation.
But becauses people have hereditary problems with some aspects of
their immune function does NOT mean that either they are healthy (see
below) nor does it mean that vaccines don't work.
Nor that HIV does not exist or cause AIDS.

The incidence and mortality of neoplasia in patients with primary
immunodeficiencies exceed the anticipated rates in the normal
population by approximately 100 to 300 times. Lymphoreticular
malignancies account for the majority of tumors, although solid
tumors, especially gastric carcinoma, occur with increased frequency
as well. More than half of these neoplasms are diagnosed by ten years
of age, except in patients with a later age of onset of
immunodeficiency. Five primary immunodeficiency disorders with an
increased risk of neoplasia are reviewed.
