Even crazier, they can filter out disease in the transporter. That's how they don't bring plagues back onto the ship after going on away missions.

How do they tell what's a natural microbiome vs. crazy alien bacteria? Who knows, it's a fantasy space show. Just sit back and relax.

That's just a weak-ass cop-out and you and I know it.

Why even have plots if they have magic machines that can make any problem go away with arbitrary explanations of how they work that are neither consistent or logical within the rules of its universe?

It's stupid. And I can bet you're just going to respond "Well, I like it anyway so I don't care" in which case why even bother responding?
