True.. I believe MJ's immune system was shutting down because of all the propofol/sedatives Murray was giving him. Those drugs were negatively affecting MJ and was making him sick. He was getting sick and no one, including his own doctor, did anything about it
Good observation! Apparently anesthesia
does have a significant effect on the immune system. See below (and there are other studies that confirm, as well). It was MURRAY who was affecting Michael's health -- and not protecting it, as he should. I wonder if Murray was even AWARE of these studies about the effects of anesthesia on the immune system? Probably NOT!

[h=1]Effect of anesthesia on the immune system: suppression of the immunogenic capacity of macrophages and of lymphocyte transformation.[/h]

[h=3]Abstract[/h] Experiments were carried out aimed at investigating the effects of anesthesia without surgery on certain functional components of the immune system. We observed that the immunogenic antigen-presenting capacity of mouse peritoneal macrophages was
significantly reduced one week post-anesthesia, with either injected or inhaled anesthetic drugs. On the other hand, an augmentation of the phagocytic activities of these macrophages was manifested. Hence, the
impaired immunogenic potency could not be attributed to a reduced antigen uptake. Lymphocyte transformations, i.e., response to PHA and Con A were suppressed, whereas the response to LPS was augmented.
