Of course, the same genes that offer resistance or immunity to one disease often come with a vulnerability to another. It's why I'm so wary of globally applied gene therapy or Hitler-esque sterilization of populations due to so-called genetic inferiority. They might be 'inferior' now, but when another disease comes along and they're healthy while you're not, the shoe'll be on the other foot.
