also may be wrong but flu and covid have led to autoimmune problems , letting a child get measles or chickenpox ( measles cases seems to be rising due to antivaxxers) could possibly lead to autoimmune disorders

You are correct! My mom had measles as a child. It essentially wrecked her immune system for decades. Measles can wipe your immunity history bare and you can become sick as hell from the most basic things.
