-(pron. vak-seem) Any meta-meme which confers resistance or immunity to one or more memes, allowing that person to be exposed without acquiring an active infection. Also called an `immuno-meme. ' Common immune-conferring memes are "Faith", "Loyalty", "Skepticism", and "tolerance". (See: [meme-allergy].) (GMG.)

+(pron. vak-seem) Any meta-meme which confers resistance or immunity to one or more memes, allowing that person to be exposed without acquiring an active infection. Also called an `immuno-meme' or 'histomeme'. Common immune-conferring memes are "Faith", "Loyalty", "Skepticism", and "tolerance". (See: [meme-allergy].) (GMG.) 
  
 Every scheme includes a vaccime to protect against rival memes. For instance 
  
- * Conservatism: automatically resist all new memes.  
- * Orthodoxy: automatically reject all new memes.  
- * Science: test new memes for theoretical consistency and(where applicable) empirical repeatability; continually re-assess old memes; accept schemes only conditionally, pending future re:-assessment.  
- * Radicalism: embrace one new scheme, reject all others.  
- * Nihilism: reject all schemes, new and old.  
- * New Age: accept all esthetically-appealing memes, new and old, regardless of empirical (or even internal) consistency; reject others. (Note that this one doesn't provide much protection.)  
- * Japanese: adapt (parts of) new schemes to the old ones.
