What was the Galactic Patrol doing when Raditz and then Vegeta were attacking Earth?

Akira: Even though they're called the Galactic Patrol, they only stand a chance against Saiyans when they;re children, and the Extinction Bomb doesn't work on them. Naturally, they have no choice but to turn a blind eye to people like Freeza.

I saw something like this in a series called "Animorphs" and there is a better explanation than Saiyans having a good immune system

In Animorphs, the disease only affected one race because it was tailored to their specific DNA, thus lowering collateral damage.

Or because they can"t accomplish finding a deadly enough virus to harm them. It can go both ways.

the heart virus was really thrown in there for plot
to keep goku away from action and then by comparison to show vegeta
was at gokus lvl and that he couldn't win so they all needed to train
it was just kinda random though

i am under the impression saiyans have basically better everything compared to humans
they are supposed to live longer, be stronger look younger ect..
so immune system would be naturally of course better- not to much of a stretch to assume so
but i doubt a whole lot better, and there really is nothing to prove things either way
but we do know
saiyans are supposed to be better then humans in basically every way thats how the story was tailored
but there not perfect and can be harmed by various means

Regardless if the heart virus thing was a plot device, you can't deny that Goku still died because of it and contracted it as easily as a human would've.
You can't prove that they have better immune systems because we have nothing to compare it against. Not to mention that immune strength itself varies widely across the population itself.

Also, humans are over-all smarter than Saiyans, so this is one area that Saiyans are not superior in. Human fighters are also seen to be generally better at ki control, even if they're weaker over-all.

humans aren't really smarter when you break it down and actually think about it

Who has a better brain Bulma or Goku?

Also no humans aren't better at ki control lmao
