    Measles can cause immune amnesia, meaning your immune system forgets past illnesses and will have to go through initial sicknesses again.

      Yup. It’s why so many died, not from measles, but from other diseases in the 3-5 years after they had measles. IIRC they only really worked this out in the last 5-10 years because of the amount of data to comb through.
