Measles used to be considered a normal childhood illness, mostly quite mild (for those, like me & my siblings & friends, who had a functioning immune system) but occasionally - as with every other disease that humans have ever encountered in the entire history of our species - it could be serious, even fatal.

Nobody ever suggested that it might have some sort of sinister immune disabling property.

Not until there was a vaccine available did measles become considered this dangerous.

Of course, that is just a coincidence...

Maybe im a thicko....but Ive read all your posts and I still dont get what youre implying! lol. Can you ELI5 for us slow-folk in the crowd?

Is it that both the virus and the vax both mess with the immune sytem and immune memory?thus allowing variants and old and new diseases to prosper?
