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.
The same with my sister. My brother and me got the pox, but she had maybe one blister - that's it. Some people's immune systems just don't react the way the majority of the population does. Popping the blisters on your kid gave you a booster. That is the way adults for years kept themselves well. I can remember having a friend that all 6 of her kids got the pox at the same time. They had a party. I made sure I gave each one of those kids a great big hug and a kiss. It has been about 10 years. I really need to locate another party because I think I need another booster. Lol.
I don't have anyone in my family that has allergies to insect stings like bees and such, so I am assuming there might be a genetic component there. In fact, there are no allergies for anything among my close and extended family relations by blood. Why some people develop allergies and others don't we fully do not understand.
Been stung by hornets. They hurt like hell and they chase you down. I had to escape by running in the house and jumping in the shower upstairs. That was no fun. I am just glad no one was filming me running around the cars and out in the street trying to get away from those little bastards. I am sure it was funny to watch. What surprised me was that I didn't react to the stings the way I thought. A couple of hours later I didn't notice anything. I was also bitten years ago by a spider tinkering around in my garage. It bit me on the ankle and all I noticed at first was a pain that started moving up my leg. It started out mild and then got pretty intense by the time it started to swell. It resolved in less than a day after I got the poison out of my leg. Sounds gross, but I squeezed a bunch of white soapy like goo out of my pores. When I couldn't squeeze anymore of the goo out of my leg, it got better. I was actually pretty amazed at how fast it resolved. At the time I knew of two other people that died of spider bites - it took them both out in less than 24 hours. One guy was only 25. I really believe God guided me as to what to do. I think it was a brown recluse. That incident gave me a whole new respect for arachnids.
No allergies in my family either...i always say it was because we were breastfed and played in non-sanitized, yet not filthy, environments.
I'd ask pts, usually moms, how did the pioneers not all die without our modern meds and copious amts of bleach?
Usually a blank stare. The bleach moms had the sickest, most allergic kids...
Your screed reads like we're alot alike lol I've been chased by hornets but not stung. Had a white ash tree, the hornets woukd fly from one patch of woods to the ash and gather the bark for their nest. 4 of them lined up.on a leaf's edge in formation and simultaneously took flight adter me. Ran like a scalded dig!
Hey, I came from good pioneer stock in the Midwest. My mom's family immigrated from Russia and my father's family has been here from the founding. They were tough people and the strongest survived. I ask people the same thing. How the hell did anyone survive without all the modern pharma crap? The healthiest kids I saw were unvaxxed and allowed to be kids. They were not raised in a sterile bubble with a helicopter mom hoovering overhead. It was actually a very interesting cohort. Not one in the bunch had any kind of developmental issue or allergies. Many are now healthy young adults. No comparison to the sicker kids that had been jabbed and drugged. How others cannot put those pieces together is beyond me.
Amen!
