What if there was a way for everyone’s body to know about measles, without actually getting measles.
That would be pretty cool huh?
- Yeah but you'd have to kind of train everyone's immune system by somehow introducing it to the virus without the person actually getting infected.
  Seems impossible.
  
  What if we did something to the virus so that it couldn't make us sick, but still made our bodies thing we were sick?
  
  That's just a bunch of jibber-jabber and will never work!
- I did this way today! (am old person so needed booster).

- This is a witch. Burn them.
  
  I got better.
