I think this is the primary question before anything else. Can you reliably replicate the immune system reset across multiple test subjects without/while limiting adverse consequences (e.g., completely destroying someone’s immune system permanently)?

yeah it’s one of those experiments that is ethically difficult to set up without an ongoing outbreak. intentionally exposing test subjects to measles sounds like an IRB nightmare.
