What’s the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine? I am especially cautious after the covid disaster.

I’m not gonna take it. Its better to take things to strengthen your immune system so that this and other “opportunistic” things don’t take advantage of a weaker immune system.

#3: What's the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine?

I've had both the earlier vaccine and also the improved
more recent one. No problems. It seems to work for me.

“What’s the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine?”

The problem with the Covid vaccines is they were mRNA made vs. the previous type. mRNA vaccines make every cell they touch turn into a target for the immune system. Therefore, the immune system attacks heart tissue, brain tissue or anywhere the mRNA vaccine happens to contact the body. Thus, they create a manmade autoimmune disease.

I had an aunt die from shingles. My dad also had it very badly and suffered a lot. I got the vaccine. A while later I had what I think is a very, very mild case. I conclude this because the sores appeared in the exact place and pattern of my dad’s bout with the disease. I’m grateful I had the vaccine.

Shingles is reactivated chickenpox. The virus you had as a child has been kept in check by your immune system, but is still hiding in your body alongside some nervere bundles.

As you age, your immune system starts to become a little senile and forgets old enemies like chicken pox. This results in a flare up along whatever nerves it’s been hiding out in.

It hurts like hellfire because it’s attacking your nerve endings.

The shingles vaccine wakes up your immune system and reminds it to keep that enemy under control.

Get the shot, unless you have a strong desire to suffer repeated bouts of shingles in your elder years.

I took L-lysine for shingles back in the eighties. Also, gave to my child for chicken pox. Need to take for weeks after symptoms abate.

The general consensus is Shingles flare-up is a known complication or side effect of the covid jab. Great question, so who the hell knows what to do now.

I can tell you that you do not want to get a case of Shingles, my dad was one of those old school SOBs who never complained about anything too much. He was in so much pain I couldn’t believe it, this was about 2009.

Shingles vaccine is 7th highest in reports of Adverse events in the VAERS database (FDA/CDC) established about 30 years ago, with 24,592 reports of Adverse Events post Shingles vaccination since Jan 2021. 206 of those adverse events were life threatening, 116 of shingles patients were reported to have died (in past 4 years) but there is no investigation on the part of the CDC to indicate whether the vax caused the harm. (This is true of Covid 'vaccines' too. CDC says no proof and no harm)
These shingles numbers may seem small to some, but only about 1% of post ‘vaccination’ adverse events are ever reported to the CDC and even then, they may not be published. So it's reasonable to consider the actual number is far higher. During Covid vax distribution, Dr. McCullough said it used to be that 50 deaths got a product pulled from market to search for any causal relationship, and/or a black box warning on the product.

My main concern is that Fauci said that the mRNA was so successful that going forward, all vaccines in the US would use mRNA. They aren’t going to tell us which ones because of ‘vaccine hesitancy’, right? So when I looked over the adverse events reported for the shingles vax in the past 4 years, the most commonly reported symptoms seemed similar to Covid post vax symptoms (my opinion, fever, rash, exhaustion, headache etc.). There may be no relationship, there may be a relationship. I don’t know.

I just checked adverser events reports from 2022 January to present for Shingles vax, and even then, 100 cases of death were reported in VAERS, not proven causally but simply reported post shingles vax.

20 of those death occurred the day of shingles vax
22 of those deaths were 1 day after shingles vax
5 deaths 2 days post vax
2 deaths 3 days post vax
2 deaths 4 days post vax
3 deaths 5 days post vax
1 death 6 days post vax
1 death 7 days post vax
0 deaths 8 days post vax
2 deaths 9 days post vax
3 deaths days 10 to 14 post vax.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s not proof that the vax caused the death or had some contribution, so you have to ask yourself how likely it was that this number of persons coincidentally died, particularly the distribution of deaths - a total of 44 died within 0 days and 1 day of having the shingles vax and the number tapers off over time. If deaths were random, wouldn’t the deaths be somewhat evenly distributed?

To me, the stats indicate STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY.
Maybe give JFK Jr. time to clean things up. For me, the medical regime denies all reality about the Covid ‘vax’ so I have no reason to believe what they say about anything else. For those who already received the shingles vax, I'm glad you weren't harmed! I just wouldn't risk it myself.

“What’s the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine? I am especially cautious after the covid disaster.”

Unlike COVID which is now little more than a mild flu, shingles are no joke. They are extremely painful, and can linger for months. And the older you are the worse the shingles. Get the vaccine.

I got shingles in the upper left forehead area. While it didn’t hurt (unaccountably) after the first coupla minutes, shingles eventually got into my eye.

Get the vaccine.

I picked this little tidbit off of a Bing search:

“Several companies are researching the potential use of mRNA vaccines for shingles. Pfizer and BioNTech are partnering on an mRNA shingles vaccine, just as they did with vaccines for the flu and COVID-19.

A major advantage of the technology is the ability to develop new vaccines quickly. The fact that mRNA vaccines are synthetic and don’t rely on actual virus particles also means they can be quickly produced in large numbers.”

From:
https://www.healthline.com/health/is-the-shingles-vaccine-an-mrna-vaccine#is-shingrix-an-m-rna-vaccine

The last time I was offered a shingles shot I asked if it was mrna and I could not get a straight answer. So I refused to get one.

Quick production of mrna vaxes by Pfizer means they can kill more people faster while they get richer.

Hitler and Heinrich Himmler are likely seething with jealousy in Hell for not thinking of using vaccines for secretly killing people and getting filthy rich at the same time.

I looked up the side effects for the shingles shows.

Not pretty. There’s a lot of buyers remorse among those who took it.

Shingles is treatable with anti-virals of some kind if taken within 24-48 hours of starting symptoms. IOW, if you think you have it, get to a dr, urgent care clinic, or ER immediately.

“What is the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine?”

It is safe and effective. I’m not joking.

I had a very small patch of shingles years ago (in my 40s or 50s) on my abdomen and it was horrible. Horrible, excruciating pain with no relief. Our son had a larger case of it on his abdomen and chest in his early 20s.

I think I had Zostavax after it was introduced in 2006, but I got the two doses of Shingrix after it was introduced in 2017. Shingrix is more effective, with over 90% efficacy across age groups, including the elderly. It provides longer-lasting protection, too. Zostavax was discontinued in the U.S. in 2020.

Believe me, you do NOT want to get Shingles. Get the vax.

“What’s the general consensus on the Shingles vaccine? I am especially cautious after the covid disaster.”

my personal experience was that i got sicker than dog with the first shot and swore i would never take the second one ...

i regret taking the first one because i had already had the Shingles and foolishly believed several doctors who claimed that Shingles infection didn’t provide good long term immunity, whereas the Shingles vaccine somehow did, which after subsequent study made no sense to me ...

of course, these are the same doctors who also swallowed the lies from the FedGov that the covid mRNA vax was safe, 90% effective and wouldn’t leave the site of the injection ...

so, it’s hard to really know what to believe anymore ... unfortunately, one cannot automatically believe everything a doctor tells you when something falls outside of their narrow specialty, because most seem to just accept and repeat whatever dogma that is issued by the FDA/CDC when the issue is outside of whatever specialty they claim is their specialty ...
