Shingles Vaccine, anyone skeptical of this?
Our current situation has made me completely skeptical of all things Dr. but the shingles thing is something I definitely don't want to get. Anyone have an opinion?

Same here. I’m not a big fan of vaccines in general but I’m considering the shingles shot.

Shingles as a kid? I didn't know that was possible.

I had it once about 2 yr ago, it was brutal, but I was stressed to the nines at the time.

Re: Shingles Vaccine, anyone skeptical of this?
I've lost all faith in the medical field. I wouldn't trust any type of vaxx especially when they are hell bent on everyone being vaxxed for covid.
Shingles is very painful and years ago they did develop a vaccine that's probably safe to get. Just not for me.bert-TIAll
Treat me good, I'll treat you better.
Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.

Trump WON the 2020 election. If you believe Biden won, you're an Idiot!

If you got the vaxx, stay the fuck away from me.

Not saying this is typical but someone I know got Guillain Barre syndrome within 24 hours of the shingles vax combined with flue shot. Started with barely being able to lift his arm and ended up completely paralyzed for several weeks. He was lucky in that he has for the most part recovered cause a lot of people stay fucked forever.

Re: Shingles Vaccine, anyone skeptical of this?
I am also suspicious of the shingles vaccine, never got it and never will. That being said, I did get shingles four years ago, and YIKES. It was pure hell. It took me about two days before I realized what it was. By then I couldn't drive myself to a doctor. I ordered a bunch of anti viral herbs online but by the time they arrived it was in full manifestation, and it took two weeks of suffering until it was gone.

BUT! There is an upside to the story. While I was searching for information about what remedies might exist, I came upon several reports that there is an over the counter remedy which knocks it out in three days. It's called Tagamet and the active ingredient is Cimetadine. Its efficacy was discovered by accident when someone who came to the doctor for indigestion coincidentally came down with shingles the same day. The doctor prescribed Tagamet for the indigestion and they were surprised that her course of shingles only lasted for a few days. Since then it has been shown to work really well. Only the Tagamet brand seems to work.

Anyway, I discovered the information too late to help my circumstance, but now I share this tip whenever I see that it could help someone else.

I also keep Tagamet in my medicine cupboard and in my bug out bag. It's a great thing for preppers to keep in mind, as having someone in your party get shingles would absolutely ruin any kind of a bug out situation.

No, it's not. It's chicken pox.

After you "recover" from the pox, it really just goes dormant - it doesn't die. You carry it for the rest of your life. When your immune system is over-taxed, it can show up again.

That being said, I would just take care of my immune system and not deal with the vax.

Personally, I don't have to worry too much. I never had chicken pox.

But after the bullshit over the last two years, I don't think I will ever take another vax for anything - ever.

NO "vaccine" is safe. All of them have severe side-effects. The shingles is no different and can cause shingles.

If people haven't learned by now that ALL "vaccines" are meant to do harm, they never will learn.

no, it's the opposite. you get shingles as an adult when you've not been exposed to the herpes zoster while you were a child.

that's why it's encouraged to get a healthy child infected as they're going to encounter it at some point in their lives.

False

Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you've had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.

i'm gobsmacked that people are unaware of the long held practice of chicken pox parties in order to purposely infect kids when they were young.

wow, so much information has lost and be turned into supposed disinfo in order to feather the nest of the vaccine manufactueres.

there are a couple of shills on this thread trying to make you think that you get shingles by already having caught chicken pox.

you get shingles when you encounter chicken pox for the first time.

and it's the same damn virus as herpes, just called a different name because of where it infects.
