I dont think so. I think it's just a new varient of the common cold. I was born in the 90s. I got a common cold regularly. Was told when I was getting the chicken pox vaccine that I'm not getting a cold vaccine because ever time I get a cold its a different virus make up so my body learns how to fight a different virus even though it's just a cold with the same symptoms. It was also a different cold virus.
Also had a chit chat with the same pharmaciat about the chicken pox vaccine. Considering we are taught vaccines are just a weaker version of the virus, I asked him of you had the chicken pox and they sell the shingles vaccine as you are more likely to get shingles if you had chicken pox would that mean you are just as likely to get the shingles at the same rate if you recieved the chicken pox vaccine. His answer was yes. Most pharmacists avoid the answer by explaining the difference between chicken pox and shingles.
They used to teach in med school that if you have had the Chicken Pox Virus (Varicella Zoster), and then get around children or people with chicken pox, you could catch it again as "shingles". One was advised to avoid people with chicken pox. Now they have shown the original virus lies dormant (similar to the way Herpes Zoster does) and expresses itself later in life as shingles.
I wonder what the difference in the actual virus is since they use a separate vaccine to help prevent shingles. And why is immunity not obtained with the original chicken pox vaccine, or prior exposure to the disease itself? Perhaps the vaccine itself sets one up for shingles later on.
As a side note, and from what I can recall from biology class, does reverse transcriptase (transcription) play a part in any of this mRNA? Could this account for mRNA changing ones DNA?
I remember my mom arguing with the school about me having to get a chicken pox vaccine. All my siblings are 80s kids and brought me home the chicken pox before I even started school. I was required before starting school to have that vaccine. What my mom argued was why I had to get the vaccine for chicken pox if I already had it. Whats intresting is a girl who is 4 years younger than me at work had the vaccine too but never had the chicken pox. She descrived her rash as localized chicken pox. She was under the impression chicken pox was a disgusting lesion causing disease and I explained to her having the chicken pox was like having thousands of mosquito bites at once and youd get lesions if you scratched.
