Um, So, Weird Question, How Does Immunity Work In The Maze Runner Series? Specifically Is It Genetic?

Um, so, weird question, how does immunity work in the Maze Runner series? Specifically is it genetic?

Context: Almost all of the Gladers are immune. That's the whole point. Newt isn't. Why would he be there if he wasn't immune?

I think he's got something going on for the same reason that AMAB people who have biological full AFAB siblings with hemophilia, autism and the like have a much higher chance of having the same issue. This is because AMAB people typically only have one copy of the genes that their AFAB siblings have two of. Any imperfection given to them by the parents, even ones that are dormant in the parents, will almost certainly show up in their AMAB offspring. (Please note, my summary of genetics is WILDLY simplified.)

So, if Lizzie is immune, it is quite likely that Newt would have been.

Personally I think he was semi-immune, like how the effectiveness of your antibodies decreases after you get sick, but I just think there was no reason for WICKED to take him if he wasn't immune. I mean, they just murdered his parents in front of him, there's literally no reason for them to take him.

Anyways, rant over. Sorry if everything in this is wildly incorrect.

Y'all, where have all the 2b2t fans gone who didn't come from Tommyinnit and Tubbo's channels? Like, I enjoy their content, but where have my OGs gone... Where are my FitMC fans? My arsonists? And most importantly what the fuck happened to our rainbow terrorist? I miss his terrible deeds.

Here in the SCP Foundation, we don't have Death, Famine, War and Conquest, we have Bright, Kondraki, Iceberg and Clef, in that order! Gears is Satan, managing all four, and Light is Jesus coming to save the day from these absolute fucking idiots (/affectionate).

Have you read that one episode of Lore Olympus where he becomes Persephone's therapist?

(I don't like LO very much, it has some... strange things in it, but hot DAMN I learned some things about myself when I saw Rachel's version of Chiron...)

Gears becomes the next Founder (O5-1) when he tries to kill Kondraki

Bright becomes the next Tamlin (O5-13) when he accidentally forces Iceberg to off himself using telepathy in response to Kondraki's "death"

Clef becomes the next Teeth (O5-7) when he shoots Lilly

Light becomes the next Nazarene (O5-2) when she tries to kill Gears directly after Iceberg's suicide (This is actually caused by the distress these events cause Bright, who she cares deeply for, even if she won't admit it)

Kondraki becomes the next Blackbird (O5-5) when he comes back to life and changes his signature to five butterflies

Thenios: Before we go, make sure all small items are secured.

Nikolon: *Glances at Pelagos, holding back laughter*

Pelagos: What.

Nikolon: Do you feel safe?

Pelagos: I WILL END YOU.
