Back years ago when I was reading about the shingles vax trying to decide whether it was worth it, I read about a little girl of about 4 who caught shingles from sitting on her grandfather's lap just after he got the shot. She'd never had chicken pox so they were certain that's how she got shingles. Poor little thing. That and the fact that the vaccine doesn't guarantee you won't get shingles again (where have we heard that?) and I didn't get it.

This all started because people said they never knew anyone who had shingles except those who had the covid vax. I did. Never had covid or shingles shots, in fact it was long before covid. So did my mother, another older friend, two aunts, a cousin, etc. Which is not to say it doesn't cause some shingles but you can get shingles without any contact with the covid vaccine.

The fact that people can get shingles who have never had chicken pox to me proves there's something in that vaccine - the actual virus or something equally bad. Not to mention all the other horrible side effects.
