So happens now is this rise measles will also create a rise in all vaccine-preventable illnesses (and other illnesses) b/c everyone who recovers will essentially be reduced to immune system infancy.
It will create a cascade of illnesses, especially in people who will refuse new vaccinations.

If you wanna learn more about immune amnesia this is a good primer from the American Society for Microbiology.
Measles binds to your immune system’s memory cells and infects them, effectively erasing their database. It then produces all new memory cells - that contain info ONLY for measles.

Measles is much more serious than a rash and fever: it also causes immune amnesia and leaves patients especially vulnerable to secondary infection.

I could say a lot just about that sentence. Medicine is not common sense. It's research and effort and it takes time. There is no "common sense" shortcut to understanding human biology.

Sorry if I sound like a broken record, I just want people to realize it IS okay to get the current 2024-2025 COVID vaccine as a booster this year, ESPECIALLY if you know you will not be eligible to get the updated 2025-2026 vaccine due to this administration’s restrictions.

I won't always keep a long streak in reading apps. And that's okay. I don't want to be driven by the compulsive need to maintain a streak and read a novel because I "must."
