Stop killing 99% of all germs!

My siblings and I grew up on a dairy farm.  We played in the mud and cow shit, but we never got sick.   I spent many years of my adult life in Central Australia with the flies and red dust, but I never got sick.  That's why I get so angry with these adverts that flog products that kill 99% of all germs.  Now even the most basic science course will teach us that we need germs.  If we don't build up an immunity to germs then we will get sick.  So, who will be the voice of common sense and tell all those gullible and guilt ridden people that their homes are not filthy and their children will not die a ghastly death if they do not buy cleaning products that will kill all germs, good bad and indifferent.
Doctors won't because they make money by prescribing antibiotics to all those people who have no immunity.  Scientist won't because most of them are employed by large pharmaceutical companies and politicians won't because they rely on donations from large manufacturers.  So, who is left stop this killing of "99% of all germs"?
