Several vaccines associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease in adults 65 and older (None were COVID-19-related)

Prior vaccination against tetanus and diphtheria, with or without pertussis (Tdap/Td); herpes zoster (HZ), better known as shingles; and pneumococcus are all associated with a reduced risk for developing Alzheimer's disease, according to research.

Researchers performed a retrospective cohort study that included patients who were free of dementia during a two-year lookback period and were at least 65 years old by the start of the eight-year follow-up period. They compared two similar groups of patients using propensity score matching, one vaccinated and another unvaccinated, with Tdap/Td, HZ, or pneumococcal vaccine. Ultimately, they calculated the relative risk and absolute risk reduction for developing Alzheimer's disease.

Patients who received the Tdap/Td vaccine were 30% less likely than their unvaccinated peers to develop Alzheimer's disease (7.2% of vaccinated patients versus 10.2% of unvaccinated patients developed the disease). Similarly, HZ vaccination was associated with a 25% reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (8.1% of vaccinated patients versus 10.7% of unvaccinated patients). For the pneumococcal vaccine, there was an associated 27% reduced risk of developing the disease (7.92% of vaccinated patients versus 10.9% of unvaccinated patients).

For comparison, Schulz said, three new anti-amyloid antibodies used to treat Alzheimer's have shown they slow disease progression by 25%, 27%, and 35%.

"We hypothesize that the reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease associated with vaccines is likely due to a combination of mechanisms," Bukhbinder said. "Vaccines may change how the immune system responds to the build-up of toxic proteins that contribute to Alzheimer's disease, such as by enhancing the efficiency of immune cells at clearing the toxic proteins or by 'honing' the immune response to these proteins so that 'collateral damage' to nearby healthy brain cells is decreased. Of course, these vaccines protect against infections like shingles, which can contribute to neuroinflammation."

Correlation is not causation.

Those most covered with these jabs are likely among the higher educated, who tend to live cleaner lifestyles and be less vulnerable to Alzheimer’s.

ConservativeMind :" None of the vaccines that helped were COVID-19-related. "

That's because they were true vaccines, and contained weakened or dead disease materials.
The "Dual Experiment" offered by Big Pharma was a politically and financial driven sham / snake oil.
The clinical results of the mRNA injections were known by Pharma before release to the general public.
According to the CEO of Pfizer to the EU health authorities, admitted that their covid biologic injection hadn't even been tested against covid prior to release.
I, for one, will never voluntarily take any mRNA shot or injection; the proof is out there !

We received in the mail an insurance blurb recommending seven different vaccines for us old folks -- who have rejected the sought-after "uptake" of the mRNA stuff. Seven. Our families' previous generations had NONE of the jabs and only managed to live into their nineties for the most part. Therefore...

This is M A R K E T I N G.

Of course they do. Take the COVID vax and you’ll never get Alzheimers…..because you’ll be dead before you get old enough to get Alzheimers.

I recently had what may have been my first adverse reaction to a vaxx.

It wasn’t a CoupFlu vaxx.

My healthcare providers had zero interest in finding out what caused the very unpleasant issue I had shortly after being vaxxed and while taking an antibiotic I had previously used with no problem.

I have since done some checking on my own and discovered that it isn’t just CoupFlu vaxxes that are new and improved.

So now I’m not getting jabbed anymore.

With anything.

Yes, and we are gonna have to keep a close eye on what they vaccinate livestock with too. We buy our meat locally and we have started asking.

I personally will no longer vaccinate my goats. The risk vs. “reward” is just not worth it.

Well, FWIW, I might be more inclined to use an old school vaxx for both myself and/or any critters.

If you’ve got a vet you trust you might want to get his or her thoughts on the subject.

I am talking about the move towards mRNA in livestock vaccine. My vet would be against it, but others will probably go down the road doctors did the past few years. Good luck finding any news about it anymore, most articles out there are “fact checkers” saying it can’t get into the food supply (yes, kind of how they told us it couldn’t get into human organs 🙄)

Missouri, Arizona, Tennessee and other states, legislators introduced bills to require package labels on products made using so-called “gene therapy” techniques. Missouri’s bill was voted down, I haven’t seen the results of the others yet.
