Comment Measles (Score 1) 74

I heard this article in the CBC. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks... Here is a quote: "They found that in animal models, measles provokes a kind of "immune amnesia", in which the immune system forgets how to fight infections it's previously encountered. Further epidemiological work suggested that this amnesia can last more than two years, causing roughly 50% more deaths than would have happened otherwise." This would affect the validity of this test and makes me question if this is the only disease that has this affect.
