If pre 1970, you almost certainly got the smallpox vaccine too. At that time it was still an active problem and working to be actively eradicated.

As far as I can tell, German measles vaccine doesn’t cause a scar anymore than MMR (it’s a sub component).

I don't know why they would have hidden the fact that smallpox was included, anti-vax wasn't a thing at the time. But I'll admit the possibility.
