A lot of people are saying ‘unvaxed’ meaning not taking the Covid19 mrna jab while they had taken the ‘real’ vaxes for polio and chicken pox. Reason why I am saying that is because peeps who had the chicken pox vax as a kid and are now over 50 and whose natural immunity is getting weaker are the ones getting shingles because their chicken pox vax wore off. Not a med but have seen more than one article on the topic. Long and short of it is that the shingles is not life threatening but once you have had it there is no ‘cure’. It will go away.
FROM WEB MD:
“Antiviral drugs can be used to lessen the severity and duration of shingles, but effectiveness is dependent on using it as soon as possible. Pain medicines and other remedies may be used to help treat symptoms.
Controlling the Pain of Shingles-
Up to one in five people who get shingles suffer from postherpetic neuralgia, usually defined as zoster-related pain that occurs in the area of the shingles rash even after the rash is gone. It can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. The older you are when you have zoster, the more at risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia.”
Two things: Yes you do lose vitality of your immune system as you grow older. I didn’t say the polio vax loses effectiveness; I said the chicken pox vax loses effectiveness.
Well, with all the illegals coming in who aren’t vaxed, it’s not his fault. But the chicken pox is one of the least of diseases we habs to worry about. They are bringing in f’kin Tuberculosis which used to be rare. Not now.
