  No. The article says newborns don't have these activated CD4 cells.

  Not on the article but...my understanding is that we have genetic material which has these encounters in it and so it’s transmitted over generations. If it does help or not or even if it manifests at any point and creates antibodies is out of the scope of what I know. However, the epigenetic activation is dependent on many factors.
