Is There a Pathogen Within a Pathogenic Inoculum?

The hypothesis that I offer to the community is that our innate immune system may actually be blind to the successful individuals within a pathogenic inoculum. The position of toll-like receptors where they are, many of them, facing the lysosome alumin to detect an entity that would never be on the surface of a successful pathogen could best be explained. So in thinking about this, and I think this is really fabulous, I could see some sort of obvious ways I could imagine this in thinking about viral infections, or sort of defective particles. Or if I think very specifically about some of the things that I think about in my lab, if say the HIV capsid wasn't formed
