Personally, I don't know anyone, however, each time there was an outbreak all those years ago deaths/long term side effects were reported in the press .. 2 per 1,000 deaths.. that is high.
My daughter was born pre-MMR and her and her and her little close friends contracted measles (think she was around 3 years).... believe me I was very scared. She was
very very poorly with high temperature streamy noses and swollen eyes .. I never kept my eyes off her the whole way through. That is why seventeen years on I had no compunction in allowing my son to accept this injection.
My daughter now, amongst her duties, is responsible for giving these injections to children and so far has experienced no autistic systems from any of her little patients.
