    Can our immune system be or become partially defective?

    Can our immune system be partially defective to some small class of pathogens (say flesh eating bacteria) either from birth, due to genetic defect, or latter in life? Our body has a lot of "bad guys" to look out for, maybe it just stops looking for some of the bad guys? Thanks!

    MHB Mason's question via Facebook about solving a system of equations (2)

    As all the z coefficients are the same, it's a good idea to eliminate the z values in the second and third equations, so apply R2 - R1 to R2 and R3 - R1 to R3... $\displaystyle \begin{align*} z &= 12 - x + 4\,y \\ 0 &= -8 + 6\,x - y \\ 0 &= -7 - 11\,x - 9\,y \end{align*}$ Now we can multiply...
