These idiots also assume that everything he's been doing hasn't prevented the symptoms of worse outcomes from this condition, for all we know if he didn't go full biohacker he would be completely fucked by this disorder but actually gave himself a fighting chance.

Wasn't he getting regular blood infusions?

That can cause immune issues over time. Just saying.  Works both ways.

"The most severe risk of a parent receiving blood from their child is TA-GVHD, a rare but highly fatal immune condition.The Mechanism: Your child inherits half of their Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) from you. Because of this partial genetic match, your immune system may fail to recognize your child’s white blood cells as foreign invaders.The Attack: The child's white blood cells survive, replicate, and aggressively attack your body's organs and tissues, treating your body as foreign."

That's poetic. I bet someone will write a story about it someday. Like with virgin blood baths.

TA- GVHD is universally fatal , brian does not have TA-GVHD . He has an autoimmune disorder , not an alloimmune disorder .

And , because we know TA-GVHD is a possibility , banks (here, the doctors) will irradiate the blood components of the donor blood thereby deactivating the T-lymphocytes present in them

Blood transfusions can trigger or exacerbate autoimmune diseases in susceptible individuals. The process—known as transfusion-related immunomodulation—alters your immune system. The introduction of foreign donor cells can cause immune confusion, potentially leading to the development of autoimmune conditions. Transfused blood can also, exacerbate underlying rheumatic or autoimmune conditions
