Here is an article about that.  It says that 65% of people who have it
previously had measles or mumps.

"A separate study found the measles and mumps vaccines helped protect against
developing the condition. An interesting finding, if confirmed, given that RFK
Jr. is a noted vaccine sceptic.

"Other studies have suggested that a history of throat and sinus illnesses,
mumps and rubella, intense occupational voice use, tremor, tics and compulsive
behaviour are all associated with spasmodic dysphonia."

"Although (RFK Jr) acknowledged there is no proof of a connection between the
flu vaccines he once received annually and SD, he told The Times he continues
to view the flu vaccine as 'at least a potential culprit.'"

So even RFK has acknowledged there is no proof.
