    Not only that but measles can cause immune amnesia! Which is when “the immune system forgets how to fight off infections it successfully dealt with before—and [research] showed that this effect lasts for years!”

      not only forgets, but the measles infects the dendritic cells which presents antigens to T-cells(i thought it was b-cells) which fights the viruses, so its actually immunosuppression.
