I always go back to chicken pox. You have one infected child among several uninfected. Within 3 weeks, many get the same symptoms. Upon re-exposure years later, the ones who had it don't get it again. Why not? If it's merely a toxin, why can't you get it many times? Why do very healthy people get it upon exposure? Why not different symptoms if it's some kind of toxin? Same with measles and mumps. I can't speak for polio or 1918 flu; those could be the result of a particular deadly toxin. But for most, one is immune to re-infection for most "viruses". If it were a poison, you'd get sick every time.
