That's a cute and fascinating fact

I read about it years ago, but didn't know they sent him a painting. That's cool and sweet too!

How cute 😍

This typically is not the best idea, though. Rather use a socket wrench with bits and operate it really carefully. Using special oils to loosen a screw firstbor to de-rust it can also help. Merr mere force likely destroy the screw!

I didn't know that because I'm more familiar with the purple kind in the stores. I didn't know that that's how they grow. BTW, this is the white version. The purple version starts out purple from the beginning.

Owl: "Let go, how inappropriate!"

Measles targets memory cells?? Thanks to every scientist who ever put an ounce of thought into creating that life-saving vaccine.

This is inaccurate. There was a study in 2019 and it says 20% to 50% of antibodies. A little hypercritical to point at anit vaxxers when you bring inaccurate facts to the argument. Let's fight ignorance with facts.

"A new study shows that measles wipes out 20 to 50 percent of antibodies against an array of viruses and bacteria, depleting a child's previous immunity." Still: vaccines rock!!!!

This is 'kinda' true. The disease works through immunosuppression but once you've had it you are, for example, immune from getting it again. So it's not a permanent case of immunosuppression. If this were the case everyone who had measles would die from it. Spoiler, I've had measles, didn't die. Before we had a vaccine it was considered a normal childhood disease and deaths among the otherwise healthy were fairly rare..

This is not true. The paper says that in a few cases where the person suffers a severe illness from measles it may reduce levels of some antibodies by up to 70%. There is no indication that they would not be replaced if the person caught that infection. There is also an indication that patients who have had severe measles have an increased morbidly rate. However it does not say they two are directly linked there may be other causes like poor living condition, lack of general vaccination etc., they have not said that measles is an underlying cause. Having said that I know from my own experience of having measles when young ( before the vaccination was available), it is a nasty disease and can have life changing impacts. In my case it affected my vision meaning I was unable to follow my preferred career as a cameraman/ photographer.

I first read that a few months ago when the news featured measles outbreaks (prior to COVID). Bacteria can kill you, but viruses can do all kinds of weird things. And they can't be killed because they aren't alive (some controversy about that, but it's the consensus). COVID is a strand of RNA that needs a host cell and its functionality in order to replicate.

Maybe some dude who was trying to erase Humanity started Anti-vaxx

I shall have to fact check this one.

Nope. While the body has to re-learn immunity, it's not to ALL disease. Measles wipes out 20 to 50 percent of antibodies against an array of viruses and bacteria, depleting a child's previous immunity.

I'm calling BS on this. I've had measles. I have a healthy immune system and rarely get anything contagious. When I do get a cold or flu, I'm over them pretty quickly and I'm 63. Not anti-vax, just tired of people making s**t up to support their point of view.

WHAT?! it does that?

yep. a lot of viruses can screw you for the rest of your life. i have severe myalgic encephalomyelitis because I was a kid before the chickenpox vaccine, and in my 30s the virus that nearly killed me as a child came back, gave me shingles and then said BTW FU, and my body basically broke on a neurological level and now I use a wheelchair and am in danger fro covid. VACCINATE YOUR KIDS.

Interesting theory, yet to be verified.

After having measles in 1957 - before a vaccine - I got TB from milk - no-one else got ill. I was 3 years old and I've had health problems ever since.

Measles infections in children can wipe out the immune system’s memory of other illnesses such as influenza, according to a pair of studies1,2. This can leave kids who recover from measles vulnerable to other pathogens that they might have been protected from before their bout with the virus.

Many of us who have had measles are still alive and kicking many years later.

When I was growing up EVERYONE had the measles, mumps, etc. There were NO vaccines.

Oh better not have a measles pandemic next

I doubt this is true. I had measles when I was 17. My body fights disease just fine, then and now.

That’s not true at all

Vaccines are fine...once they remove the animal parts, deadly poisons, HUMAN parts, micro-chips and tracking devices!

Lies.

Downvote this post! This is incorrect. See most of the other comments here for clarification.

Umm I had measles though. And nothing dramatic happened after that. Lemme read about this. Not sure about this post. But measles like chicken pox assures you will never get measles again.

Who taught you that?
