Ok lets take a look at the Magic "Case definitions" and rules to even declare a case:

Revisiting the 2014-15 Disneyland measles outbreak and its influence on pediatric vaccinations:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34495822/

Nobody died, nothing happened except some children having skin erruptions declared as "measels".

So how is the trick applied:
The first part of the trick to increase measles cases is rather easy to spot. The CDC simply sends out an alert to healthcare workers to be on the lookout for any cases of disease that may meet the clinical criteria as a measles case.

The CDC says anybody who either had measles at some point in their life or who has received two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is protected against measles.

But how to find case?

Without proper laboratory testing, measles cannot be diagnosed.
A clinical diagnosis of suspect measles must be confirmed with laboratory testing.

>Clinical diagnosis is unreliable, therefore cases must be laboratory confirmed.
Example:
>child has a rash, is it measels? doctors are not allowed to diagnose it by clinical symptoms.
Who can be "suspected" of having measels, to even be admitted to a laboratory test?
https://www.cdc.gov/measles/hcp/index.html
>excluded from suspicion are children with:
one or more doses of a measles-containing vaccine administered on or after the first birthday for preschool-age children and adults not at high risk
>birth before 1957

We can see that this “presumptive immunity” trick pretty much negates anyone vaccinated as being a “suspect of” measles, hence never ever being able to be verified as via lab results.
>it must be some other rash, like erythema multiforme or some shit
