Thank you, Daniel!! And yikes, I had chicken pox as a teenager, during the summer break none the less, and I didn't like it one bit!!!!
And I do have a feeling that while many very sincerely people have subscribed to the "no contagion" theory, the current militant version of it was likely introduced by people with not-so-good intentions because a whole lot of people are infected with fungi and parasites, and like I said in another comment, if people realized that and started treating themselves, there would be a whole lot of relatively healthy people all of a sudden....
One important point you are making here is, "if people started treating themselves," and that's at the core of people's behavior. If something bad is happening to you sometimes the first question to ask should just be, "How do I stop this and get well again?" I.e. there should be a call to action. So my take would be, "I got sick, what do I do next?"
But as you also ably pointed out in your post, it is taken for granted that "old age = intellectual degeneration," so that first call to action never materializes. Yay, progress.
