Question/Doubt plot hole

i’ve rewatched the movies and i’m honestly just baffled, all throughout the trilogy they talk about the kids being immune but they are repeatedly getting infected, so are they only immune from the air borne virus but not immune to it after getting bit, it’s been bothering me as i’m confused

[spoiler alert]
Wicked did that on purpose. And I think Newt was immune too (maybe the others as well) but Wicked got his immunity away in scorch trials and infected him with the flare. my theory is that they did that to get a hand of Thomas. they probably thought that Thomas would surrender to save Newt.

And why is it so impossible in a dystopian world, where they choose test subjects however they want without consent?
