While it's a narrative that encourages caution, you shouldn't be making that statement like it's an established fact. It's from the tweet thread you posted containing the musings of an assistant professor at U of T hypothesizing the rise in childhood illnesses this fall with covid causing immunity harm because a virus causing immunity harm was observed in measles in 2015. This might be the case, but that entire thread needs to only be taken for what it is. He also acknowledges in that same thread that "Emerging immunological research is beyond my pay grade, frankly."
