Measles causes more than an acute illness: it suppresses immune memory and increases the risk of complications for years.

    Wait, so letting my kid get measles because right-wing grifters said so was the wrong choice?

    Measles is an interesting dive. It can have a re-write effect on the immune system such that other established immunities get wiped after a measles infection.

    As such, it’s best to avoid.

      Which makes it even worse to get as an adult. Think about all the disease history wiped. It’s a case of history repeating itself but much more dangerously.
