@Pat You may simply have an excellent immune system genetically speaking, I can only speculate on your case. But yea rather interestingly the relationship is a inverted logarithm.
@Pat Thats a bit of a misnomer It actually levels off by about age 10 at which point the mean number of colds per year is the same throughout ones life.
The reason is that the model of immunity most people think of is actually a far cry from the truth for many types of viruses, particularly the types of viruses that cause the cold. Itws not just that immunity wanes over time, but also the fact that most cold viruses mutate fairly rapidly and entierly new types of colds emerge every year.
@Pat Well that debatable. Healthy people get sick from cold viruses all the time.
@Pat Ok thats fair then.
@Pat masks to prevent colds is well into hypocohondria territory. I can understand (albeit disagree) with using it for COVID and all ... but a cold, thats a stretch
Its important to note outside of any covid concerns it also puts your health at risk. A healthy immune system requires regular exposure to diseases, when this isnt present we see a large rise of risk of autoimmune diseases. Getting the occasional cold is more or less good for you.

@kmic people drink water, yet you can still disperse a crowd with a fire hose :)
@delei I'm not sure those figures, whatever they said, would negate the point of the meme anyway.

That's known as the "white savior". (Panel L3 in the graphic) The implication is that the relationship is asymmetrical. A textbook example from Hollywood is The Blind Side with Quinton Aaron and Sandra Bullock. (A film with a lot of other racial issues besides the overall white savior bias.)
I've found that racism on the left is also biased against people of color, but they just aren't as open about it, even to themselves.
For example, all those Hollywood liberals (progressives) who chastise racism but then turn around and produce horribly racist films -- 8 of 10 films coming out of Hollywood are racially biased. And most of them feature those same "progressive" actors, directors and producers.
