"Two studies present biological evidence that measles infections in unvaccinated children wipe out immune memories of other pathogens, putting the kids at risk of other deadly diseases."
Measles does long-term damage to immune system, studies show.
"In a normal, healthy vaccinated person, we can expected a 5% to 10% drop in antibodies over time," ...After severe measles, children lost a median of 40% (range, 11% to 62%), and after mild measles they lost 33% (range, 12% to 73%), of their total preexisting pathogen-specific antibody repertoires."
