Hear me out, measles can cause immune system amnesia. People with autoimmune disorders have immune systems that want to kill them. What if we use the immune system amnesia property of measles to reset the immune system of people suffering with autoimmune disorders? Maybe we could do some crispr on the measles virus to make it not as dangerous or something like that first though.
This seems like a question that you might ask in an askscience or science community.
true, but i feel like it’s a stupid question, and the people would just say “that’s a dumb question and you should feel bad for asking it”.
That may well be true, but in my experience every single scientist asks stupid questions every day. The difference between them and politicians is that they write it down and pursue answers relentlessly, while politicians do neither.
In other words, don’t be afraid of silly questions, everyone is in the same boat.
I appreciate your kind words, internet stranger.
This is exactly what happens to me when I ask questions in more academic communities. My advice to you is to keep asking anyway. The world has legions of people who need to feel big by making other people feel small. Don’t ever let that get in the way of asking things you want to ask or doing things you want to do.
I think this is a great question. Even if there is a misunderstanding hidden in there somewhere it looks like the kind of question that could produce very informative and interesting answers from someone with knowledge in the field.
man who gives a fuck what other people have to say about it, I vote indulge your curiosity anyway and fuck the haters
