i mean i’m not stupid enough to try this, but measles has an potential immune system reset component to it, right? could it possibly be beneficial to people with autoimmune diseases to catch the measles and reset their autoimmune response, and hopefully be able to avoid their triggers in the future?
Probably not, there no telling what your immune system will do with autoimmune disease and an infection. Also viruses and bacteria are known to trigger autoimmune diseases. Strep A can trigger arthritis, flu. Some parasites are known to modulate immune system so it less autoimmune attacks, but it’s not approved, since parasites are unpredictable. I believe there’s studies between hookworms and allergies or certain autoimmune, but same cannot be said for parasite like ascaris, which will trigger asthma . It’s also important to know parasites have to be alive, they secrete some kind of chemical so your immune system doesn’t attack it, hence why it also is a correlation between autoimmune diseases. But when a parasite dies your immune system can go into overdrivem
At this point my biggest hope for the Trump administration is for some “Happy Accidents” that wouldnt happen in a safety oriented world. We might make some really cool discoveries that we otherwise wouldnt make because so much wild shit is going to happen that statistically speaking some of them have to be positive.
Developing drugs is EXPENSIVE. If that gets a whole lot cheaper (and far more unsafe) they might actually look at developing some drugs that wouldnt have been likely to have a good ROI before but might now.
Its not impossible that massive deregulation could lead to advancements.

Fallout universe science, silver linings, or lead.
Take gutting the FDA for example.

since you apparently know everything, show me the study on measles and autoimmune diseases thanks
