Shingles is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. The problem with all viruses is that you never get rid of them. If you recover from a virus infection it means that your body has learnt to fight against it and you just live with it from that point on.
If you go through some bad patch in your life that somehow lowers your immunity then viruses can resurface. So if you have had chickenpox and your immune system is somehow made less effective then I believe that is how shingles occurs.
Now we can see the connection to COVID. If you had COVID you will still have the SARS-CoV-2 virus in your body. The jabs will have focussed your body on opposing SARS-CoV-2 but it will have suppressed your general immune system to do it. It is like moving troops away from the front line to fight a particular incursion. It leaves you weaker everywhere else.
I see. Now my next question on that would be how exactly is it that everybody on the planet gets the same virus? Sounds like a global poisoning of some sort, is it in a food or beverage that we all consume? I can't wrap my head around a virus we get by default
"Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and can be serious, even life-threatening, especially in babies, adolescents, adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. Before the vaccine was available, about 4 million people got chickenpox each year in the United States, over 10,500 of those people were hospitalized, and about 100-150 people died.1 Since the vaccine was introduced in 1995, less and less children are getting the disease."
So this VZV is what begins the process...
From Wiki:
"Chickenpox-like rashes were recognized and described by ancient civilizations; the relationship between zoster and chickenpox was not realized until 1888.[29] In 1943, the similarity between virus particles isolated from the lesions of zoster and those from chickenpox was noted.[30] In 1974 the first chickenpox vaccine was introduced.[31]"
It seems this thing is pretty old. My final question I suppose (and I bet I know the answer!) is: how come we haven't figured out the source of this and the cure? Big Pharma making money?
I am not sure that we "cure" any virus. I think we just suppress it so that it no longer bothers us. That is why when our defences drop they can start to bother us again.
A vaccine that "cures" something is just training our innate immune system to keep the virus subdued. We never lose the virus - that's why we have trillions of them.
Caveat: I am not a doctor, however ...

How many people have had chickenpox? They are the ones who stand a chance of getting shingles when their immune system becomes suppressed.
It has been estimated that the human body contains about 40 trillion bacteria and 400 trillion viruses. They are not just something you catch occasionally. Everyone will have trillions of them already!
Thank god we have masks to protect us… also… be sure to drink your ovaltine!
