She’s never mentioned this before and I see the new shingles vaccine arrived in 2017. Quick search tells me they got rid of the old vaccine and this new one has some nasty side effects. Also I see some info about the Covid vaccine possibly causing shingles in some people? The conversation was about vaccines, she asked me if I’m totally against vaccines or just Covid vaccine. I told her I want to wait and see on the Covid. Then she brought up the Shingles vax. It kind of felt like……if we can’t get them to take the Covid vax, let’s see if they’ll take the Shingles vax…….
Edit: based on responses, could the shingles vaccine be a contributing factor to those who died with/from covid? How many who died from Covid also had the shingles vaccine? It’s for people over 60 so would be a similar demographic.
Perhaps it is because your Dr. truly works for the pharmaceutical companies , not for you. That said, shingles sucks. My ex got it when working in a nursing home, Her Doctor told us (lied) it was not contagious and that I couldn't catch it from her. She said that it was her own stress that caused the chickenpox to reemerge as shingles, not from contact with anyone at her work. She was in a lot of pain and then I got it too, only a tiny patch on my spine right above my pants line. For a few days I was in real pain, felt like my spine was all twisted up. Even so, I wouldn't get a vaccine for it, because If you had chickenpox like 99% of us have, you already have the virus and your immune system knows how to fight it. What good is a "vaccine" for something your body already has defenses for? To me it does not make sense.
Ty for the info. So if stress causes shingles we should all be covered in shingles after 2 years of this shit show…..if we didn’t get it yet maybe we are good.
stress can be a factor, also weakened immune system.
A weakened immune system from taking an unnecessary vaccine.
