clinical benefit. This mismatch between economic gain and
               biological sustainability highlights the urgent need for more
               durable, immune-compatible biologic therapies.





               The Silence Is Strategic

               Tolerization isn’t a bigger story because it undermines a
               powerful narrative: that biologics are the future of
               medicine.

               Acknowledging that future is fragile—vulnerable to the
               very immune systems it seeks to influence—is more than
               inconvenient. It’s threatening.

               So for now, the silence persists.
               But in that silence, patients are suffering. Payers are
               overspending. Clinicians are improvising. And science is
               being restrained by economics.


               This book breaks that silence.

               Because naming the problem is the first step to solving it.




               1.7 – Setting the Stage for a Solution


               The failure of biologics due to tolerization is not a mystery.
               It’s not unpredictable. And it’s not unfixable. It is, in fact,
               one of the most solvable—and neglected—crises in modern
               medicine. Not because the science is out of reach, but
               because the system hasn’t demanded we solve it. We've
               optimized biologics for mass production, regulatory
