For what it’s worth, there is some basis for children developing allergic
It’s actually complicated. Looks like the original hypothesis came from a RETVRN perspective about the industrial revolution and hay fever[1][3]. However, even experts in 2016 who have access to data suggest there is immune benefit to going outside[2]. My mind jumps to the idea that aspergillosis is really bad and aspergillus is a pernicious, clinically significant type of fungus. However, it’s also ubiquitous and symbiotic in soil. That’s a disease you wouldn’t focus effort to get rid of as looser, more bleached out soil likely has downstream effects. The same way you wouldn’t want to bother trying to rid your microbiome of Clostridioides difficile, an opportunistic pathogen that only goes bad when your immune system is weakened or antibiotics wipe out everything suppressing it. Additionally, there are zoonotic diseases whose reservoirs, and their food webs, wouldn’t be keen on eradication.
Before the advent of the varicella vaccine or in its absence, I’m not sure I would be a detractor of the pox party [4]. I think there are fights worth fighting as far as infectious disease go. I’m sure there’s a lot of COVID deniers who would watch their tone if their community were overrun by a hemorrhagic fever like the one caused by ebola. But microbiology continues to be funny in the way that it’s tricky and complicated. When you came out of this messy world through the womb, you inherited 10 bacterial cells for ever 1 human cell and you wouldn’t function properly or feel good without them. I remember when I was working at the adrenachrome factory there was a brief moment where I had to count agar plates. We were talking shop and I stumbled up the work of Dr. Scott Sutton whose website seems to be down [5]. “Ideally you would never see two separate dilutions with counts in the countable range, as the countable ranges cover a ten-fold range of CFU. However, this is microbiology.” And I think he sums it up how I feel about it.
An interesting read from 2020 idk I just read until they gave me the studies I was interested in. I’m sure the NYT had a shitty perspective on COVID. This meta-analysis from 2016 they cited has all the data you’d ever want to know and more on the subject[2]

90% of medicine is just managing the sicknesses people get from material inequality
no inequality and people basically don’t get sick. Some exceptions but yea
I worked at the adrenochrome factory for a few years doing really important work. I really hated the job so I left. I later got brought on at Langley to monitor leftist forums. It’s purportedly why I know a thing or two about science and medicine.
