Antibodies can help a virus. Suppose you encourage the creation of an antibody that helps the body fight a virus. That antibody might make it easier for a different virus to infect.

“That antibody might make it easier for a different virus to infect.”

I suppose that might be plausible, but it’s different than what the article here suggests. It seems to imply that the inoculation stimulates the production of one type of antibody and *suppresses* the production of others (”programmed to stand down”). It’s the latter part that confuses me. I’d like to see that mechanism explained in more detail.
