Who has taken the Shingles Vaccines?
- Thread starter RickinDayton
- Start date
same. Shingles is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. And it never goes away. It stays dormant. Once you get it, you are unlikely to get it again, but it isn't unheard of. I also had it over my left eye. I guess it is really dangerous if it is in the nerves at the end of your nose because that nerve also controls one of your eyes. It can cause blindness. The worst was that I rubbed off my left eyebrow and had a splitting headache for a few days.
The CDC recommends the shot after age 50, but these are the same people still advising kids to get COVID shots. CLE Clinic just reported that the flu shot for 2024/25 was worthless. So proceed with your eyes wide open.
You don't sound crazy.
Why don't you tell us ... I like stories from crazy people ... they make me appreciate normality.
No issues with either dose…but that is typical for me. Others I know have gotten pretty sick (~flu). But much better than Shingles…which is worse and csn be lengthy. And the two-shot regimen is for life.
You can laugh, but how do you think vaccines are approved? It's an eye opener. What's an even bigger eye opener is how much ad revenue news stations get paid by certain industries. You've got stations paying $25+ MM salaries and they get beat out in the rankings by the cartoon network. Hey, I get it, I used to have your views. Carry on
i'm amazed when i go to my HC portal and see just how many vaccines they are promoting...born in 1968, got all the shots as a kid because that's what you did, right?..my brother is the only person i know that has gotten shingles, and that was as a teen in the late 70's..vaccines are getting pushed just like prescriptions, interesting times..
Had both shots. No problems at all. Better than getting the disease. I had chicken pox as a kid.

I had the original Zostavax in 2015 and had the current two doses of Shingrix in 2020. Can’t recall any reactions other than a sore arm at injection site.
My sister got shingles and her case was horrible. This prompted my wife and me to get the vaccines. We each had a sore injection sites that responded well to exercise. The soreness was gone over night each time.
Lmao I’m board certified and have over 35 years in drug development. Despite what you read on the internet vaccine studies are conducted correctly and safely. It’s not an eye opener. The only eye opener is the nut job conspiracy led by rfk
That is what is prompting me. My older sister had shingles a few moths ago. She was in lots of pain.
I remember the shot being pretty painful and then I felt sick all day. Looking back, I guess I was being dramatic and am glad I do not have to worry about it.
More than just RFK - especially as it pertains to COVID…many, many highly accredited and acclaimed scientists have questioned COVID vaccine approvals. Some done with just a handful of very brief tests.
And lacking cost benefit analysis in certain classes getting shot (not really a vaccine, by classic definition).
That said, vaccines have a very strong track record overall and have extended life expectancy.
Had Shingles but caught it early since my brother had shingles a few months before me - we both had chicken pox at the same time as kids - weird. Got the shots as soon as I could - even mild case of shingles sucks - mine was on my back but as others have said you can get it anywhere on your body including your eyes which is scary.
I'm a hard pass. I no longer trust most vaccines, including this one.
With you 91Joe95.
Pharma has Zero liability on vaccines. There was a such a liability issue that they all threatened to stop making vaxxes, so the US Govt gave them immunity in '86. The US Govt now assumes liability, but makes it nearly impossible to collect a couple hundred K if you kid dies or is permanently injured.
Here is a good conversation with a lawyer that works in this area. Would love to hear knickslion's "board certified" analysis on the design of the study on the latest measles vax (1 of 6 on the market)
Yeah. I am in the middle of a battery of tests because I haven't had any since 2019. I do have one serious problem I need to deal with but everything else has been precautionary. In the last three months, I've had ten Drs appointments. My impression is that Drs are like lawyers when asked to review a contract: they always find something wrong.
Refreshingly, my cardiologist (yesterday) saw my results and told me I was just fine. I was supposed to undergo a procedure on Tuesday, but the Dr. walked in and said, "Do you really want to do this? We already know what we are going to find. I recommend we not do this and just address the long-term issue and get it over with."
I've had an MRI, a stress test, three blood tests, and just postponed a colonoscopy to this fall because I am worn out from all of the other craziness. And I felt fine when all of this started.
Everyone needs to go in with their eyes wide open, ask a lot of questions, do their own research and make the best possible choices. As Dear Abby used to say "50% of all doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class."
You keep believing the internet lol
i am curious...what is your opinion on why we are suffering so many more ailments like major food allergies, down's syndrome, and the rest? After COVID, sadly, I've lost any confidence in any institution in the world.
I’m not going to get into the Covid shot as that’s been beaten to death here. I got the first two shots and that’s all and will leave it there. True vaccines have been very effective in this country and have prolonged lives. Let’s look at the results from the HPV. True game changer in cancer and a must. There is no link between Down syndrome and vaccines. My take on the increases is that people have babies later in life. There is scientific proof to that. Despite what people read the way vaccines go through testing is 100% correct. The testing is designed correctly and efficiently to properly evaluate. The clinical designs aren’t like small molecules and can’t be developed that way.
If I were you, I would avoid doctors at all costs.
I also believe in Darwinism and survival of the fittest. Once your mental faculties have gone, and sanity has slipped through your grasp, you're better off just letting nature take its course.
Leave the planet to those of us capable of operating on it.
That's fine. Just make sure you stay away from civilization.
I remember when democrats thought big pharma was evil. #TDS has many side effects including blind defense of companies that have all paid billions in fines for fraud and putting sales over patient health. Interesting times.
I would assume that COVID 1 2 3 pressured our immune systems even those that survived it. As for downs syndrome...
While the frequency of babies being born with Down syndrome doesn't seem to be increasing drastically over time, the overall population of individuals with Down syndrome is growing due to increased survival rates and life expectancy. This increase is largely attributed to improved medical care and advancements in understanding and treating Down syndrome-related health conditions.
- Increased Survival:
Individuals with Down syndrome are living longer now than in the past. In 1950, the average life expectancy in the US was around 26 years, while in 2010 it had increased to 53 years.
- Population Growth:
The population of individuals with Down syndrome is increasing in many countries, not because of a higher birth rate, but because more people are living longer with the condition.
- No Major Increase in Birth Rate:
While the number of babies born with Down syndrome has increased slightly, it hasn't increased dramatically, according to the CDC and other sources. A study in the European Journal of Human Genetics found that while the prevalence of Down syndrome increased from 1.3 to 2.5 per 1,000 total births over 20 years, this was primarily due to an increase in the number of older mothers and not a general increase in the birth rate.
- Impact of Older Mothers:
The risk of Down syndrome increases with maternal age, but most children with Down syndrome are born to women under 35, simply because younger women have more children.
- Screening and Termination of Pregnancy:
Screening and termination of pregnancy for Down syndrome have been introduced in many countries, which has led to a decrease in live births with Down syndrome in some
I think humans want something simple to blame. As for allergies we live in a world of contact with increasing complex chemicals. We buy and berry 🍓 but we get more than we bargain for. Our devices use what? Think Miramar. One of my workers fathers died of a stroke. Of course his son blamed COVID vaccine for his death despite the fact his father had 3 strokes before 2017. - I think we must learn the human biological existence is complex.... Period.
Thanks...a good and well thought out post. For me, I don't understand how we can simply equate CO2 to Global Warming with almost no other evidence, and not equate exponentially increasing drug use to something like Downs and food allergies. To the point you make in your post, it is probably far more complex than we have the capacity to understand, let alone change.
Shingles are tough. Good friend had them around the waist. He had to buy pants about 5 sizes too big and suspenders just to go out of his house for a couple of weeks. Extremely painful.
Measles portrayal...1969 vs today. Very telling

Had both shots a couple years ago with no issues. A friend had shingles and I did not want to go through that.
Thanks for the advice, Max, 😉do you still use your POST bamboo, plastic clad slide rule?
Happy to see you have been around a long time as myself.

"Big Pharma" isn't a thing ... labelling things like that is a way to make it easier to vilify and attack them, rather than deal with actual problems like adults. That said, drug prices should come down. Any abuses should be dealt with. That doesn't mean anything pharmaceutical is evil and untrustworthy. That's what crazies like you do. Rational people don't act that way.
the same party that promotes "the science" as something that is settled and final, as opposed to a process that is always being tested, critiqued and examined..the same mindset that thought the world was flat and that the planets revolved around earth..all the "experts" believed in the geocentric theory don't you know...fauci finally admitting well after the fact that the 6 foot covid distance was made up, something he wasn't sure of where it originated..the medical industry, emphasis on industry, has lost all credibility after covid and should be put to the screws whenever they proscribe treatment..i'm old enough to remember when priests were thought to be infallible, and now doctors are suffering the same fate...why else has it been a time honored tradition to seek a second and/or third opinion regarding your health?..
