People can get infected with multiple cold viruses, but it’s not as straightforward as acquiring antibodies for all at once. The immune system responds to each viral infection individually, producing specific antibodies tailored to that virus. Additionally, cold viruses, especially rhinoviruses, have many strains, and prior infections may not provide adequate cross-protection against new strains. Consequently, while it's possible to be infected by multiple viruses, the immune response is typically specific to each one, and simultaneous infections can sometimes overwhelm the immune system.

Why do so many people catch the Swine Flu?

Antibodies give you resistance to disease. You build up antibodies when your body meets pathogens such as viruses or bacteria. Your body has techniques for fighting viruses and bacteria. Then as it fights it finds copies of the viruses and bacteria and creates antibodies. It makes antibodies. They join the fight. Later, when that same disease attacks, the antibodies either keep the disease totally at bay or make it far less severe. Having the proper antibodies is called resistance to disease. People who have never had a variety of the flu are more likely to catch it and have a worse time than those who had it. People who had a similar version will have some resistance because their antibodies will do a partial job a protecting them. Their case will be less severe. The problem comes because the last pandemic of a flu similar to swine flu occurred about 50 years ago. People younger than that lack resistance to the disease. They have resistance to other versions but not to swine flu. Older people can call on their antibodies from the days when they had the earlier version. The disease is expected to spread through schools and places where adults congregate. This time they are not concerned about the old people. If the old people's immune system is no longer able to use the antibiodies from the last time they had swine flu, why make them suffer with a vaccination that won't give them immunity this time?
