Hey bro, take this medicine so you don’t get sick but the medicine will increase the likelihood of getting sick times 11.

The company wants a return on all that money spent on research and development.

Took shingles vaccine and after second shot had double vision for a month. Doctors couldn’t explain it and had never seen that. I’m not taking that anymore.

Now do flu shots!

People need to quit taking shots they don’t really need.

Its a feature, not a bug.

Shingles are no joke. Know the facts.

What’s the absolute risk reduction?
I looked it up.
If 1,000 people are vaccinated, that group of people has 8 cases of shingles less than 1,000 people who aren’t vaccinated.

Shingrix provides an absolute risk reduction of approximately 8.4 per 1,000 person-years in adults aged 70 years and older, translating to preventing roughly 8-9 cases of shingles per 1,000 people vaccinated annually.

Since we know that the covid vaccine damages the immune system, all studies need to be broken into covid vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups to make any sense. As someone that does science for a living, I hate stupid science that does not account for known variables.

Yo don’t take it to keep yourself from getting shingles, you take it so others don’t get shingles.

11x increase in the 21 days following first dose to accomplish a reduction of 1 case of shingles per 125 patients vaccinated.
Imma pass.

If I were explaining it to a patient, it’d probably sound something like “There’s a small chance of a mild shingles episode shortly after the first dose, but over time the vaccine lowers your overall risk -and shingles in older adults can be pretty miserable when it hits hard”.
And there’s some emerging data that shingles vaccination may be associated with lower dementia risk too, which is interesting (still being worked out, but not nothing).
Seems like a reasonable thing to discuss openly rather than just framing it one way or the other. Where OP goes wrong is it lacks context and it ends up being misleading.

How many shots are you supposed to take? I hear vaccine and figured it was a one time thing like the measles vaccine. Though my mindset is pre-covid and not a bunch of boosters. And never saw the flu "vaccine" as a real vaccine.
One of my grandma's got it years ago and really messed her up, so hope there is something that works eventually. Though me personally, keep it to myself, believe she had it triggered by getting the COVID shot.

They love it and they conditioned to love it now.
That’s all they talk about now is what shots they got and what shots they due for.

Sounds like a lot, but when you consider that X is almost 0, it's fairly inconsequential.

So is an 8 case reduction per 1000 vaccinations.

I agree. As I said in another post, one of my grandma's got it and she's not been the same since. It's been 3-4 or so years now. As another poster said, shingles is no joke. I hated seeing her go thru what she did early on. She didn't have the shingles vaccine, but got the COVID one.
So hopefully there's something to help prevent it from breaking out.
I think people taking the same attitude with this as the COVID "vaccine" may regret not taking shingles seriously.

Eight out of how many? Not how many vaccinations; how many cases of shingles would there have been among those thousand had it not been for the vaccination?

Took my first shot in January. I'm 51. Arm hurt like a bitch for a week and I got flu-like symptoms for days 2 and 3. After that all good. I'm supposed to get a 2nd final shot in a couple months.
