There are a lot of medications that have the side effect of weakening the immune system, and it seems that there has been an uptick in such medications in the last few years. There are also medications that deliberately weaken the immune system. Sure, a weak immune system is a serious issue, but if the disease being treated is worse then it's less of a decision point for most people.
