Is the next generation going to be strong enough? Are we breading the natural strength out of our immune systems?

No the next generation is screwed!!!! More children today have brittle bone disease because parents are terrified of skin cancer.
Common colds last longer because with all of our hand sanitisers and air disinfectants kids are no longer being exposed to common germs to build an immunity.
Sure we immunise children, but what is the point of immunisation when one day a common cold will be known to kill?
Then there's the other thing that the next generation will face.
In a natural disaster these kids won't survive. Asde from their lack of immunity, these kids constantly sit behind a screen one wa or another. What if they do manage to survive a major disaster but need to build a fire to keep warm? If there is no mobile phone towers or electricity googling "how to build a fire" isn't possible is it?
Nope all this molly coddling is only going to screw up the next generation.
