Ouch, too late to edit, but wrote a mistake above. The measles virus resets the immune system, and the measles vaccine stops it from doing that, so the MMR vaccine seems to have a much bigger effect than just preventing MMR, which used to be described as “boosting the immune system” but is now understood as “letting it do its work uninterrupted by measles”
