After having chicken pox, the virus lays dormant in the nerve roots until it is reactivated at a later age. So more people getting chicken pox as kids would lead to fewer cases of shingles later in life because there would be more people with the virus lying dormant in their nerves waiting to be reactivated? Anti-Vaxxer logic is a wonder.

I am going to explain this one more time. However, I am only responding to advance the conversation for anyone else on this thread that might be interested.
I am done speaking to you. You don’t seem to have enough intellect to add anything to this discussion other than calling people stupid or idiot.
Even if they have the vaccine, they still have the virus laying dormant. Chickenpox vaccines contain a weakened version of the live virus, which can reactivate later in life and cause shingles.
Every time you come into contact with someone infected with chickenpox, you get a natural “booster shot” that protects you from shingles.
In other words, shingles can be prevented by ordinary contact from children or grandchildren that have chickenpox. However, because of the chickenpox vaccine, there are fewer kids around with chicken pox to provide that natural immune boost.
So as chickenpox rates have declined, shingles rates have skyrocketed.
Although chickenpox vaccines do contain a weakened version of the live virus, which can reactivate later in life and cause shingles, this is very rare, he said. "Nearly 99 percent of children who receive the vaccine will not get chickenpox at all," Schaffner told Live Science. "The remaining 1 percent who do get it will get a much milder version of it. Therefore,a vast majority of people receiving the immunization will not develop shingles later in life."
Big Pharma, the FDA and the CDC probably bought this guy off. Hell, they faked the moon landing, after all, so this could all be fake news designed to make money for the drug industry at the expense of our kids. Just think of the money they'll make providing a shingles vaccine for all the people they deceived into getting the chicken pox vaccine.
The fact that you people are out there denying the proven benefits of vaccination, thereby putting huge numbers of the most vulnerable among us at risk, is astounding.
