They are harmful when your immune system is bad for whatever reasons (stress, malnutrition, etc) and when your non-pathogenic bacteria in and on your body are not quite numerous.

If you believe that pathogens are only dangerous when your immune system isn't functioning correctly then you're pretty ignorant

Sometimes you can just get unlucky and pick up a seriously dangerous mutant e coli that has something nasty like a shiga toxin plasmid.

Illness is an exception, not the norm. Our immune system is incredibly effective. Of course there are cases where our immune system is unable to protect us, but it's not the norm.

We are constantly under attack by viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, worms, protozoan parasites like toxo, sleeping sickness, malaria, giardia, and trichomonas, and shit that hasn't even been classified yet. The fact that you're not sick has just as much to do with you being lucky enough not to run into a nasty bug as it has to do with how much you take care of yourself.

You know what it is the immune system?

Do you know how the immune system works, you fucking retarded namefag? Your immune system is great but it also has several blind-spots, and if you get hit by something that can get past those blind-spots then no amount of vitamins and water is going to help you. That's all I'm saying.

What about vitamin water? Will that do it?

Man, fuck off. Just because you watched a few videos about the microbiome doesn't mean you know shit about immunology. How much do you know about the MHCII locus? Complement proteins? Can you even name and describe the 5 classes of antibodies without looking at your textbook? Do you know about the different classes of lymphocytes? Man you don't know shit.

Says who? Spray the crap out of every single person boarding any space vassal and include two or three security checks and you should have 100% or damn near it chance of killing all harmful bacteria and viruses.

Then, as long as there isn't space bacteria, we'd be able to live a perfectly safe life.
