Comment on Does measles effect allergies?

So, disclaimer. Not a doctor, a microbiologist, a virologist, or anything with actual first hand knowledge. So, keep a salt shaker handy to take this with.

Since worm boy has started running his mouth, I’ve been casually reading about measles. Just enough that when some idiot echoes him that I can feel comfortable telling them to STFU and GTFO and not wasting my time trying to argue with them. So that’s kind of a second disclaimer, I guess, that I haven’t read every single line of every single publication out there.

That being said, nah. There have been patients with measles that also had preexisting allergies, and it didn’t get rid of them. At best, they were suppressed a little during the illness.

So far, attempts along those lines on purpose haven’t worked to an extent that it’s worth it. There was some testing done with other means of destroying the relevant immune cells, and the most effect was a temporary reduction in severity of allergic response. They eventually came back in full.

So, assuming you want to cite a rando on the internet, if anyone starts spewing that tripe as a benefit, you can confidently tell them that I said to STFU and GTFO.
