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.
Exposure to children with chicken pox is the natural "booster" to shingles in adults. Now that kids don't get natural chicken pox, people aren't getting the exposure that helps boost their own immune system from their kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces, neighborhood kids, etc. Now shingles is on the rise. And another excuse to create another vaccine, one with harmful side effects and reactions.
Science shot itself in the foot to create a vaccine for a childhood disease that is mild when contacted in young age.
