Since there  is so much talk about pandmeic - what are the actual facts or 
physiology in  play?  Would a person who had been biologically breastfeed have a 
better  chance of surviving the pandemic, and why?



Dear Friends:
    In theory, at least, a breastfed person would have  a strong immune 
system.
    However, I guess that most of the folks who died in  the 1918 epidemic 
were breastfed, just by virtue of the times.
    warmly,
