I'm kinda iffy on a lot of this but I'm going to take aim specifically at the panacea shot.
A low telecrystal cost item that can not only clear ailments and pathogens multiple times and then immunize against those pathogens is a bit much - especially given that well over half the round can be put into making a single pathogen of any potency. A one or two use item that clears all ailments including pathogens but lets you get reinfected? Yeah, that might be reasonable. But immunity is really too much.
That said there should be a medical doctor traitor item of reasonable cost (4-5 tc) that does provide a single dose of immunity or, perhaps better, something that treats any one symptomatic strain as asymptomatic while in you.
