In 2026, there have been over 1,000 cases of measles. If vaccination rates keep dropping, the costs of medical care, public health efforts and lost work productivity could skyrocket.

Measles has this interesting quirk where it can completely reset a person’s immune system. So it’s like they never built up immunity to ask the stuff they were exposed to in their life. That’s actually the thing that ends up killing people who get it.
That leginkább is actually something that’s being researched as a potential way to help people with autoimmune issues.
I hate to have to ask, but can we get an actual source for this? It sounds like it would be extremely important info to verify.
You have Google. It’s called immune amnesia, look it up. It’s not some fringe theory. It’s established science regarding measles.
i read up on how it does it, they speculated its likely the measles attacked antigen-presenting dendritic cells which interacts with memory b-cells hence the “wiping out the immunity”. ALso one nasty complication in children it can cause panecephalitis in children, rarely.
And once this happens, a trivial cold can become deadly.
maybe not the cold, but the FLU would be easiest way to get hospitalized/
