Measles: The race to understand 'immune amnesia'
www.bbc.com
Scientists have known for years that measles can alter the immune system – but the latest evidence suggests it's less of a mild tweaking, and more of a total reset.

So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.

I had never heard this until today, and it’s an absolutely horrifying thought.

You’re welcome.

    People should vaccinate and daycares should have the option to ban kids. Yes it can then transfer at school, but there is no good alternative for that.
