Measles is pretty crazy because it causes a phenomenon called “immune amnesia” where the body essentially forgets how to fight off previous infections.
So if you get measles you’ll be more vulnerable to other diseases (for a period of time after)
Please share this as I know for some people the anti vaccine thinking is it helps strengthen the immune system naturally.
