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.

Actually, measles may be a *cause* of MS or other autoimmune problems. Measles antibodies are higher in such patients, indicating a possible lingering infection.
One possible reason is that your body doesn’t just train itself to recognize invaders, it also puts a lot of effort into identifying *itself*. Killer cells go through a training phase and those that don’t pass get destroyed before they are ever released to the rest of the body.
Watch the anime Cells At Work if you can. It’s actually pretty informative.
