immunities
Shields from prosecution
Immunities is the plural of immunity, covering its range of meanings.
In medicine, immunities are protections against specific diseases—natural or acquired through vaccination.
In law, immunities are exemptions from legal obligations or penalties: diplomatic immunities, prosecutorial immunity.
More broadly, immunity suggests being shielded from something that affects others: Her charm gave her immunities the rest of us didn't enjoy.
