Re: Antivaxxers
I thought the vaccine prevents shingles because you never had the varicella virus.

Re: Antivaxxers
You can get shingles with the weakened live vaccine but it's supposed to be less serious.
There's also a shingles vaccine or three iirc.

A tracheostomy was performed so that he could be put on a mechanical ventilator to help him breath. He remained on the ventilator for more than five weeks. Because of the pain caused by the spasms, he required muscle relaxants as well as drugs to stabilize his blood pressure in addition to the medications to counter the tetanus toxins.

Re: Antivaxxers
Yes. You can't get shingles if you've never had chicken pox. It's a recurrence of the varicella zoster virus which never entirely leaves a once-infected body.Pham Nuwen wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 20:49We're talking about the new one right?

Re: Antivaxxers
I wasn't aware there was one without a weakened virus. What's it got? Viral protein elements? I guess technically you only need the antigen parts but that's kind of where my knowledge drifts off completely as I don't know how you would get them without the virus itself. I'll talk to traveller.

There's a strong suspicion that the varicella vaccine currently used is causing shingles at very early and unheard of ages.

Re: Antivaxxers
Interesting. It looks like it does because it reduces the amount of reexposure to chickenpox. Looks like shingles tends to come on at younger ages as well, but the severity is greatly reduced.Pham Nuwen wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 21:58There's a strong suspicion that the varicella vaccine currently used is causing shingles at very early and unheard of ages.

Re: Antivaxxers
Regarding antivaxxers in general -- or, more specifically, antivaxxers who gussy up their arguments in libertarian dressings -- there IS one argument I've seen which I consider bullshit, but haven't been able to figure out le mot juste to explain why.
Background: I have one antivax FB friend (though she will bristle if you call her "antivax": she is NOT anti-vaccine, she sez, just anti-DANGEROUS vaccines, and anti MANDATORY vaccinations .... basically the antivax version of Glenn Beck's "I'm not saying anything; I'm just asking questions"). She's one of those "measles is a VERY MILD illness that even confers benefits" types, though her thinking has evolved a little bit over the years: she used to say similar things about whooping cough, whereas now, she admits that WC is enough of a danger to infants that she chose to get the vaccine .... though she still opposes making it mandatory for anyone, even a hypothetical unvaccinated adult who spends a lot of time around infants, or at least goes places infants and/or their caregivers are likely to be.
And, after questioning, it appears her oppostion to making ANY vaccine mandatory is based on a combination of a hyper-individualistic view of "personal freedom", coupled with a very high "fear of personal harm" -- IIRC somewhere she DID posit that IF a given vaccine could be proven 100 percent safe for every person on the planet, ever, she MIGHT be willing to mandate vaccination. But so long as there is even the slightest chance that anyone might have an adverse effect to any vaccine, she will not mandate it. (Apparently, even if the adverse effects are FAR milder than whatever disease the vaccine treats -- this is the same woman who, on another thread, mentioned her baby having "a day of fever and lethargy" after a vaccination as reasons why vaccines are dangerous. And apparently, she thinks "One day of guaranteed post-vaccination fever and lethargy" is worse than "the risk of the far worse, possibly fatal, disease that vaccine prevents."
Also, FWIW, she completely ignores my repeated mention of the standard liberty debate over conflicting rights -- when two people or two groups claim conflicting rights, whose rights take priority? Is my presumed right to refuse a vaccination and re-introduce a serious disease into a population more important than a population's presumed right to eradicate a serious disease (or keep it eradicated)? Or vice-versa?
So... have any of you some suggestions as to what I should say next time this comes up? This person is not the only "liberty" person or group I've seen who view ANY form of mandatory vaccination as a major threat to liberty because "the government has no right to force us to put XYZ in our bodies."

Re: Antivaxxers
Ronald Bailey had a debate with Jeffrey Singer about vaccines that takes place almost exclusively in the libertarian sphere of thought, so it's worth perusing that for ideas.
