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.
Sounds exactly the same. Even though this guy was in his sixties, which is far from what I consider elderly, he was very sick. As usual, he was on a downward spiral of chronic illness aggravated by severe nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxicities that eventually led to cancer. The shingles was just icing on the cake. He was always in good spirit and quite the jokester which I am convinced helped him hang on as long as he did. Although his last couple of years were pretty miserable, he never seemed down. His wife was one of my regular patients and we could never convince him to try something different. He would only do what his doctors told him - especially when he was diagnosed with cancer. Sometimes it's hard to get people to cut away from what they perceive to be their lifeline - even though in the end it is probably one of the biggest contributors to their ill health.
Exactly.
