I've not researched this subject however, last night a friend dropped into
me a paper she happened across....Schleifer et al 1986. Behavioral and
developmental aspects of immunity. Journal of the American Academy of Child
Psychiatry 26: 751-763.
An old paper but the conclusion is "effects on the immune system early in
life may have profound long-term effects on immune capacity" and they do
discuss premature weaning as being a contributor.

physiology in play?  Would a person who had been biologically breastfeed
have a better chance of surviving the pandemic, and why?
