immune escape?
can you define that?
My unqualified definition, is pathogens escaping one’s immune system due to a sub optimal immune response. (viruses mutate and get around an immune response - becoming stronger)
In a shorthand, layman’s explanation (mine) immune escape is when a virus or other pathogen avoids the immune system e.g. the immune system cannot recognize it as a foreign invader and/or cannot learn how to stop it. It could be due to mutations, or it could be due to weakened immune systems or genetics or age or other factors. But I’ll defer to people with more expertise for correction and amplification on the answer.
