Article was behind a paywall, but they've been pointing these correlations for a long time, yet when they actually try to test the effect of benign pathogens (e.g. in Coronado's TRUST clinical trials) the results are disappointing. Also why don't routine vaccinations in rich countries have a similar beneficial effect?
