No cure for stooopid. Apparently Mennonite et al not helping.

Your question involves a little-known complication of measles known as immune amnesia. This is a phenomenon in which portions of the immune system’s memory are wiped clean. It occurs because the measles virus can invade not only the cells of the respiratory system, but also the cells of the immune system. This includes the memory B cells, which are specialized white blood cells whose job is to recognize pathogens that the body has encountered and fought off before. When alerted by the memory B cells that they have come across a known pathogen, the immune system can swiftly mobilize the specific antibodies it needs to target and overcome the invader.

People figure it's alright if you survive, they're unaware of the possibility of future complications. Thankfully, that's something that can be solved with education, provided people can still be convinced to give their children an education.
