We found that the increased observed in RSV disease severity post-pandemic was due in part to the high rates of RSV/viral codetections- see below 👇

And measles infection but NOT vaccination induces “immune amnesia” meaning that 20%-70% of B-cell memory is erased after infection- This is one of the reasons why measles vaccination is crucial—not only does it prevent measles, but it also helps maintain overall immune protection.
