Measles can ‘erase’ your immune system’s memory. Here’s how
Measles doesn’t just cause illness, but also erases the immune system’s memory, leaving people vulnerable to infections they’ve previously fought off.

The largest #measles outbreak by far is in West #Texas, where the #disease is spreading quickly in remote, rural areas where the #vaccination rates are low. The outbreak has also spread across the boarder into #NewMexico, but the outbreak there is moving more slowly due to higher vaccination rates.
The US now has >600 #measles cases in 22 states, acc/to the #CDC [& who knows if that’s being accurately reported]. That includes 481 cases in #Texas alone. The country has now reported >2X the number of measles cases this year than were reported in all of 2024.
The CDC says there have been 6 measles #outbreaks so far this year.

Why is there so many cases in Ontario? If they’re not vaccinating, why?

It looks like we're going to get a reminder of what an exponential curve looks like — apparently our practical experience 5 years ago wasn't sufficient for it to imprint.
The measles outbreak in western Texas has hit 481 cases, with 59 newly identified infections confirmed over the last three days, ABC News reports.

On Tuesday, the Department of Health and Human Services slashed jobs and programs in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even as measles continues to spread and two Louisiana infants have died of whooping cough. Today, news broke that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is implementing a hiring freeze even as flash floods and tornadoes just today have killed at least seven people in the Midwest to the mid-South.
The plan, as Vice President ].D. Vance explained in a 2021 interview, is to destroy the current government, business, educational, cultural, and scientific pillars of the United States in order to replace them with a new system, although there is tension between the Project 2025 wing of MAGA and the technocrats’ wing over whether that new system will be a theocracy or a technocracy.

"Because to be clear, when you choose not to get vaccinated in a country like the US, what you are ultimately doing is free-riding on the backs of everyone else who did their part."
"If you view vaccination as an individual choice and believe that anyone should be able to opt out for any reason at any time, then what you’re saying is that it’s okay to decide not to uphold your end of the social contract; that it’s okay to free-ride off of everyone else who actually did go get vaccinated."
She responds to CDC:
"The truth is, when it comes to public health, there really isn’t such a thing as a 'personal' or 'individual' choice — because every choice we make as individuals has implications for the health of those around us. Framing vaccination as an issue of 'personal choice' disregards the fact that choosing not to get vaccinated ultimately strips other people of their personal choice to stay healthy or to live a normal life."
Caroline Orr Bueno reports that ProPublica contacted the CDC to ask why it suppressed a report warning that the risk of measles is higher in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lower.
CDC responded,
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one." As Bueno notes, this echoes HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s own language about vaccination.

Immune amnesia: Why even mild measles infections can lead to serious disease later
Getting measles doesn’t confer benefits on the immune system — in fact, it’s just the opposite.
Even a mild case of measles destroys the memory cells that confer resistance on bugs the patient has previously fought, in what doctors call “immune amnesia.”
A measles outbreak has infected nearly 500 people in 19 states, including California. Vaccinations prevent both the measles and the subsequent loss of immune protections.
It's true. It's happened to me in the time before a measles vaccine. I got very ill...Hospitalized. I also went through a series of very painful gamma globulin shots to get some immunity built back up. Don't let this happen to your child...or you.
