I got measles in the early 1950s, I got measles. At that time, the neighbors' kids came around to visit for a while...the idea being to spread this disease while kids were young. OK...life goes on.
However, contrary to ALL wisdom, I got measles for the SECOND TIME while in high school - in the 1960s. My pediatrician said it was unusual, but not rare. I remembered the symptoms - itchy, sensitive eyes, feeling a "burden" of a fever (similar to what I felt when I got pneumonia in Boot Camp. Lasted about the same amount of time (from what I remember), and all was well.

My grandma was born with celiac disease, plus lactose intolerance, as a result she couldn’t have much food (it’s much easier nowadays) but then when she was 4, she contracted the measles. because measles erases the body’s knowledge of fighting diseases, her celiac and lactose intolerance were gone as her body wasn’t programmed to attack it.

Explain like I am 5 please: How can a virus that is "super contagious" not be like Influenza or COVID meaning it doesn’t mutate. I thought the rules is the more contagious the more infection, the more likely the virus will change?!

My son toddler with age 1, 8 years old he is currently on the PICU room already 14 days.
My son had stopped breathing and heart about 30 minutes. Then after 15 minutes of resuscitation his pulse returned.
He is under controlled by Pediatric Doctor and Neurology Pediatric Doctor.
His condition right now is unconcious due to inflammation of measles in the lungs and the MRI test shows there is no abnormal condition on his brain.
Currently his eyes are open but can't respond when we talk.
I don't know If my son got encephalitis or not.
Please advice how the treatment for my son?
Thank you

I think the measles mortality data (1 to 3 per thousand) is highly sus because the same cdc table says 20% of patients experience hospitalization. Since measles is a very mild childhood disease in most cases, that rate is ludicrous and 'patients' must mean a very specific subgroup. Flu hospitalization for children under 5 is 'high' at 42 in and since measles is much milder than flu, it certainly won't be more than that. So at 0.04% hospitalization rate, the measles death rate is overstated by 500 times, ie only 0.0002% death rate. Further it is known that the rash (and thus likely disease) is only more severe in malnourished children.
For example, blindness from measles in developing countries is associated with vitamin A deficiency.

Immunosuppressive doses of steroids result in more severe measles cases.

Regarding the mmr vaccine for measles, which caused all the controversy: this so called attenuation of the three viruses is very sus to me. They just picked some cultured strains and somehow they are 'attenuated'. More likely an euphemism for 'we don't want you to know we're injecting you with 3 live viruses, and at the same time'. Injection is not the natural route for these viruses.
As I suspected, there is a pretty high rate of fever in the mmr vaccine (15%), which basically means the children are, simply, infected, but the usual symptoms (neck, rash) don't develop because of route of infection being injection. But there might also be other issues because of that, injection bypassing the all the physical barriers of the immune system, and the fact you're insulting with 3 viruses at once, on injection route, which wouldn't happen naturally ever.
Actually for the newer mmrv 4 virus vax, fever occurs in 50% (!) of older infants. I guess why they try to inject as early as possible. My guess would be that because the viruses are injected, instead of infecting the respiratory, they are not shed/transmissible, but that's wild speculation. In which case, the so called vaccination might simply be frontal assault of multiple viruses during infancy when naturally they occur later.

Natural infection at a robust childhood age, and maternal antibodies to prevent infection during infancy, would probably be the safest route.

"Severe hyperpyrexia, neurological symptoms and gastrointestinal diseases occurred in 38, 20 and 15 cases/1000 enrolled". Hyperpyroxia is extremely high fever. Looks to me the vaccine is more dangerous than the disease.
"the data suggest that passive pharmacovigilance is utterly inadequate to document the real incidence of serious AEFIs and that current methods of assessing causality may be questioned" from
