This sounds like a good thing
it is not mRna and it may give people who have not had the proper vaccine some immunity.
I am old and worried about getting shingles.
I just need to be exposed to the Varicella virus and I will be fine for the rest of my life, but I cannot find the Pox parties we used to have.
Measles is not chicken pox
that’s not how it works.
Shingles, caused by the same varicella zoster virus (poxvirus) which causes chicken pox is a double-stranded DNA virus which gets embedded in our OWN cellular DNA in nerve cell nuclei.
You more than likely got exposed to it as a child as it is SO ubiquitous throughout humans, even a handful of chicken pox can confer SOME immunity. It’s a totally random event which causes the DNA transcription process (looking for another protein code) which incidentally reads the pox virus DNA and turns the neuron into a virus factory, sending them out to the ends of the sensory nerves as shingles.
My kids had chicken pox when I was close to 40.
I always wondered if that didn’t act as a booster to me.
