In this way, the virus can cast a long and dangerous shadow for months, or even years, scientists are finding. The resulting “immune amnesia” leaves people vulnerable to other viruses and bacteria that cause pneumonia, ear infections and diarrhea.
Those aftereffects make measles “the furthest thing from benign,” says infectious disease epidemiologist and pathologist Michael Mina of Harvard University. “It really puts you at increased susceptibility for everything else.” And that has big consequences, recent studies show.

diverging@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The US is actually going to implement a nationwide abortion ban and the measures for how it's gonna be handled are already in the worksEnglish1·3 months agoIt’s not possible to ignore words that were never actually said
Form Feb 2020:
A voter at a CNN town hall in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday night asked the former vice president, 77, if he would commit to serving only one term.
“No, I wouldn’t do that, but, I tell you what, you’re going to be able to make a judgment,” Biden said. “And, by the way, the two youngest people on the stage now are me and Buttigieg,” he joked, referring to 38-year-old former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the youngest candidate in the race.From Aug 2020
Especially when his campaign staffers "leaked’ him saying he would be a 1 term pres privately.
If you read what they say you would find that they are offering their opinions on what he would do, and not relaying anything that Biden said.
For some reason you want to interpret him being a bridge as him saying he would be a short bridge. Bridges can be long. I have no idea why you placed any significance on that statement anyway. Biden being a bridge candidate to younger candidates is like me being able to go under a limbo bar when it is set 10 ft high.

The only words we have of his about a one term presidency say he had no such plans.
All his campaign staff and media were saying so!
Four anonymous people offered their personal opinion. They did not quote Biden.

Biden said “I don’t have any plans on one term.” Why does some vague suggestion of being a ‘bridge’ get you to ignore those very easy to understand words?

Several anonymous sources said that they thought that he would not run again. Why do you believe anonymous sources opinions?
Is Biden not a “Biden campaign source”? Because he explicitly said he had no intention of running only one term.
And why have you abandoned your original claim of a Biden promise?

It is certainly not a promise of anything.
Most people assumed that meant a 1 term presidency
Why do you consider something that people assumed to be a promise by Biden?
diverging@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The US is actually going to implement a nationwide abortion ban and the measures for how it's gonna be handled are already in the worksEnglish35·3 months agoWhen he ran in 2020 he made it seem like he’d be one term.
How did you get that when he explicitly said he had no plans on one term?
I can’t believe you fall for his fucking lies.
What lies am I falling for? I always thought he would run for a second term, and then he did. You are the one that fell for the lies, thinking that he wouldn’t run again.
