As there is no limit on microorganisms as they seem to evolve, why should there be a limit on the amount of antidotes ? It just seems impossible, because we only know so little in the grand scope of things. Who knows what type of organisms are released from the ice.

But the question is: Is there a limit to how many illnesses we can be vaccinated against?

Again, explain to me why there would be a limit ? And answer will reveal itself. The human body has been always been able to adapt to intruders. Whether by evolution or mutation. There is no limit to antidotes.

If you want to know if its lethal if you inject a thousand vaccins whithin 24 hr hours, I assume its very likely.

I mean, we probably can’t be immune to 100 trillion diseases because that’s more than the number of cells in the body. So is it more likely that our immune system can recognize closer to 50 diseases? 100 diseases? 1,000,000 diseases?

The fact that organisms can mutate/evolve is irrelevant because the question is about the “memory” capacity of the immune system

Well there's definitely an upper upper limit, the point where the mass of the antibodies is bigger than the person.

I meant a scenario like this, where, could there be trillions of trillions of vaccine, or is there an SSD somewhere in the body that'll fill up.
