What we have so far

More than 150 types circulate, and immunity to one buys little against the rest.

This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied. That work is not done yet, and nothing here should be read as a conclusion. When the investigation is published it will appear on this page.

What we are reading

Gathered for the investigation and not yet written up. Each note says what the paper does and does not show.

  1. Murray CS, Simpson A, Custovic A. Allergens, viruses, and asthma exacerbations.Proc Am Thorac Soc · 2004 · 1(2):99–10410.1513/pats.2306027 · PMID 16113420

    Review, and an old one — replace before broadcast. Kept for the synergy point, which still holds: rhinovirus and allergen exposure together drive asthma exacerbations harder than either alone, which is why 'just a cold' is not just a cold in a sensitised asthmatic.
