30 People Who Were ‘Today Years Old’ When They Realized These Random Things

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.

AIDS does that to.which is bad in COVID

🤯 Wot! Really? ..|

I got measles while I was in rehab from polio, at 6 y.o. Got chickenpox later! Before vaccine was available.

You all appear well read and very intelligent. I would, however, love to hear from a physician, or someone who works with this as a full time profession.

O m g Ani’s question should be on a funny Responce list!

It erases the immune system's ability to recognize the measels germs.

That's simply not true. If it were true, people who catch measles would die. All of them. No survivors. And if they survived the measles they would die the next time they catch a cold, or an ear infection or basically anything.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO CALL WATER THE VACCINATION FOR DEHYDRATION! SO WE CAN GET RID OF THE STUPID ANIT-VAXERS

Wow didn't know this!

Well, that's interesting, I had measles, among other things, as a child, Wonder if that explains a lot of my health problems as an adult?

This is absolutely ridiculous
