This is fucking bonkers.
We know it's hard on you, so fuck preventing a breakout of the most contagious disease we've encountered, that not only is bad on its own, but resets your immunity fucking you over even more for years to come.
Wait, measles resets your immunity? Your immunity to what? Measles? Everything?
Everything. The adaptations your body has learned to fight other diseases are stored as T-cells. When you need more of that particular kind of thing, your body goes and runs off copies. Measles kills your T-cells, so your body can't copy the old adaptations, only make blank-slate factory-new ones.
Holy shit. TIL. We should be good if we were vaccinated forever ago when we were kids, right?
Yes.
Thanks :)
TIL we found the factory reset button for the human immune system.
If only. You'd think it could potentially fix some auto immune disorders as a side effect, but nope, all negatives.
Here's an article that describes the "immunity reset" aspect of measles: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211112-the-people-with-immune-amnesia
Recent research suggests it wipes a large portion of it.

Measovid.
It's how they roll.
Mesovidlioma
Has you or a loved one been diagnosed with Mesovidlioma?
Well yeah, but if it gives you immune amnesia then it's like you were never vaccinated for all the other things too.
It's the antivaxxer's re-virginization.
I wouldn't be surprised if some intentionally infected their kids to try to undo past required vaccinations.
You can be revirginized once before you become immune to revirginization!
It might cost us money, so some of you may die, but that’s a risk we’re willing to take.
