“The thing is, the immune system is very complicated.”
quote from the link here, but for those who don’t want to click through (this article is fascinating though), it is told in the context of a joke which i will post below the link.

There’s a joke about immunology, which Jessica Metcalf of Princeton recently told me. An immunologist and a cardiologist are kidnapped. The kidnappers threaten to shoot one of them, but promise to spare whoever has made the greater contribution to humanity. The cardiologist says, “Well, I’ve identified drugs that have saved the lives of millions of people.” Impressed, the kidnappers turn to the immunologist. “What have you done?” they ask. The immunologist says, “The thing is, the immune system is very complicated…” And the cardiologist says, “Just shoot me now.”
