  And you’re basing your comprehensive and systematically argued in depth response on … what exactly?

    Did you really expect to get an answer after asking like that?

    Like, you realize you’re asking for someone’s time and effort…

    Right?

      If this is a new stupid question, perhaps you should make it a separate post.

      Don’t answer if you don’t have time to answer.

        Weird…

        I thought it was clear the issue was how they asked, but apparently not.

    Might have been a flat answer, but a correct one.

    Just googleing “measles auto immune” gives you ample links that go in depth on why and how measles infections can CAUSE autoimmune conditions, like e.g. this one: my.klarity.health/measles-and-its-role-in-trigger…

    And one mechanism how they do that is specifically by confusing the immune system into not knowing what’s friend or foe, so that it starts attacking the body instead of contageons.
