I dunno. I got my tonsils out at age 14, which is late, due to constant winter throat infections they called back then tonsillitis.

Anyway, years later I never get any respiratory infections and I am a smoker.

On top of that since then I take no pharmaceutical drugs. My immune system is so strong that I have not been sick, had a cold or flu for at least 12 years since.

But I get the gist of the article you are writing about and backing up stay away from doctors and their practices.
