#2I have no idea what "world.org" is and what it does as an organization. Does anyone have more information?
I ask because I don't see that many data to clearly support the link claimed in the title. Like the BCG vaccine discussion, this needs far more investigation as far as I can see.

This is a non peer reviewed study identifying the links between MMR vaccines and reduced COVID19 issues [1].

Thanks, at least the one you linked tries harder to account for the link (as opposed to the report linked here). Nothing too striking from a quick read, only potential leads that need more data / experimental work.

#5I'm sceptical. The Belgian deaths the paper refers to are being misrepresented. Belgium is overreporting deaths, compared to many other countries' underreporting. Drawing any conclusions from those numbers does not shine a positive light on the quality of the paper.
Only 0.5% of Belgian deaths are under 45y/o. About 80% of the reported deaths are in people over 75. If the MMR vaccine offers protection, and people weren't vaccinated until 1995, I'd expect to see more cases in the 30-45 age bracket. But its virtually empty.
But then there is a paper from 2014 [1] where the authors were looking into a a SARS-CoV (not SARS-CoV-2!) vaccine based on a measles/rubella vaccine, so maybe there is something to it.
That being said, the lack of updates about this probably isn't a good sign.
