Interestingly though, when the second MMR's protection wears off due to secondary vaccine failure, a 3rd MMR does not appear to be able to extend the artificial protection, leaving older folks vulnerable.https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/213/7/1115/2912150 …

I was going to ask: are there similar studies on other viruses eg influenza? The anti voices re both “shedding” and transmission generally post vaccination are *loud*
