I don't get sick.
Each winter, when my neighbours get colds and influenza, i don't
Why not ?
Because my immune system is strong [.....i would suppose].
70%-90% of my diet is uncooked, and unprocessed foods.

Having a healthy diet doesn't make your immune system "super strong".
It merely makes it normal.
I don't eat a 'healthy' or a 'normal' [modern, 'Western'] diet.
70%-90% of my diet is uncooked, and unprocessed foods.
I still eat chocolate occasionally, fish and chips as a treat, and such.
I still [occasionally] eat many things, but most of the time, my diet is uncooked, and unprocessed foods. fruit, veggies, nuts, with a few natural condiments [e.g. cider vinegar].
While i was growing up, i ate a 'healthy', modern, 'Western' diet, and i used to 'regularly' get colds and flu. ...and hay fever!!!
But i have not had a cold or the 'flu' [nor any hay fever], not for
many years.
And, i'm 'old'.
60+ years, old.

You would still catch a disease that you haven't been immunised against and it could still kill you.
Wrong, imo.
Whether i would become infected and unwell, imo, would definitely depend upon how virulent any particular disease that i was exposed to, was.
Open your mind to new ideas, new
opinions!
Google;
disease, "the pathogen is nothing; the terrain is everything".

I would suggest that the reason you don't get colds or the flu is that no one would get close enough to you to pass on the infection.
LOL
You could be right!
.....nah, i have enough close contact with my neighbours, friends, and ppl in town.
e.g.
I use a shopping trolly in the local supermarket!
Can you imagine how many pathogens and 'contaminants' would usually be on the handles of supermarket shopping trolly's !!!
Eeewh !!!! hehe
