@blogdiva I had a worse flu-like reaction to the #shingles vax shots compared to other vaccines, but I'll take a couple days of flu over shingles any day.

@blogdiva

@shansterable also, getting shingles is pretty terrible even if it's not life threatening. Can confirm. Direct nerve stimulation ain't fun.

the study about #Shingrix protecting from the brain decay of #Alzheimer's #dementia was done at Oxford University and, interesting enough, the benefit was more conclusive in women:

New shingles vaccine could reduce risk of dementia

The new recombinant shingles vaccine β€˜Shingrix’ is associated with a reduced risk of dementia compared to an earlier shingles vaccine, according to a major new study published in Nature Medicine. It is also more protective than vaccines against other infections.

got the first of my #shingles #vaccines and:

1. did not know innoculation is broken into two parts. in another 2 months i will get the second round.

2. even though i prepared for the β€œflu-like symptoms” side-effects, i haven't had the flu in so long i forgot how bad it feels.

but i don't care. the evidence is too stacked in favor of the vaccine being a major deterrent in the development of #Alzheimer's #dementia.

so if y’all did not know you need a 2nd shot, go get it.

#MAHA #MAGA IS A DEATH CULT, evidence kabillion squared.

get your #shingles #vaccines. there is strong evidence of the connection between the virus (#chickenpox turned #herpes zoster) and #Alzheimer's induced #dementia.

β€œBy reducing the chance that the #varicella-zoster virus - which causes chickenpox - can reactivate into shingles, the vaccine may combat virus-generated inflammation and sticky protein formation that's implicated in Alzheimer's disease”

Thank you Shawn Lewis for sharing your ordeal with #shingles. Most cases happen to folks over 50. Nevertheless, Ontario provides the vaccine free to people aged 65 to 70. Workplace health plans might cover it.

"Officials at the Food & Drug Administration have blocked publication of several studies supporting the #safety of widely used #vaccines against #COVID19 & #shingles in recent months, a spokesman for the Department of Health & Human Services confirmed. The studies, which cost millions of dollars in public funds, were conducted by scientists at the agency, who worked with data firms to analyze millions of patient records. They found serious side effects to be very rare."
