To respond to this persons rather long statement ......Your forgetting a few thing to take in part like immunization. Most species build immunity to viruses and disease like how we do with chicken pox. Now with a sterile environment like the flotilla(and sterile environments do exists like Hot labs...one is used to house small pox.) and with everyone living in suits how on earth would they build up they immunity to disease?
Also, tie in the fact that they have a weak immunity to begin with. I read the part about he people do have immunity to other animals disease and the fact that the Quarians allergic to other species disease and live make no sense, but your for getting that quarians are a completely different gene type from other aliens except turians....Which means they won't get an infection the same way human do from are own disease. Their bodies would treat the disease like how a person who lactose intolerant or allergic to shell food would. The disease would not eat away their bodies, just cause an over reaction.....and that over reaction can kill a person.(Bee sting alleges,dust, shell food, etc.)
As for the theory on the Founder Effect, with the qurians this is not the case. This is a case of extreme isolation.
Example, when the Europeans came to America, the brought over most of the disease the plagued them. Though most survived the effect, the natives of America had no deference to these disease and most died off. This is the same case with the quarians. No disease on the ship to cause sickness, suits to make sure their still don't get sick, and no organic environment to contest the immune system brought them to an event of extreme isolation. They did not evolve into a lack of an immune system, they just did not build one in the first place. Case in point, an adult who never got the chicken pox as a child could die from it if the get the disease as an adult.
As for the sterile environment..........their in space..........SPACE!!!!!!!!! How can any new organic creature or disease enter the ship if it's in space? The scrub everything down when they come back planet side, and the scrub them selves down before get back on the flotilla. So they sterilize it inside and sterilize everything that comes in, how can new diseases come it if their in space?
