Because its being presented as fact that no one ever gets sick on the
Island.  None of the other characters say "No, you are wrong, remember
Aaron got a fever and Shannon got an asthma attack?".  If the writers
feel it im****tant enough to write a line about no one ever getting
sick and DON'T feel it im****tant to point out that this is not true, I
attribute to shoddy writing. They don't want us to remember people
getting sick because they are trying to retcon the Island's powers,
IMO.   This is a minor point, granted, but it just goes into the
growing pile of retcons and continuity problems.
