I'm in my 70s and had the same childhood measles/chickenpox/mumps experiences...as did my siblings and classmates. I have the same question that you posed. Mr. Saive "answered" your main question by talking around the issue, rather than by providing an explanation or counterexamples. He was evasive, and he did not provide a satisfactory answer.
Haha!! You have a very legitimate question! I am glad you asked it and wish those who subscribe to the no virus theory would weigh in!
Thanks for that, Butterfly!
Revisiting this whole thread is good from time to time.
I wish they’d weigh in too!
No one’s ever been able to give a good Terrain Theory explanation for those childhood disease once-only bouts. Until they do it’s all flapdoodle.
…Hows about we all use some common sense, eh? 😊
~All the best.
