    There seems to be lots of confusion over whether someone who has never had chicken pox (confirmed by a blood test) should get the shingles shot.

    Yeah, that is why they want you to get the shot every year--generalized protection.

    Probably not necessary if you are SURE you never had it. A titer might give you an idea although titers wane with time.

    Not necessary, but not harmful as well?

    I believe there are potential dangers to any vaccination, but that traditional vaccinations are nowhere nearly as hazardous as the Frankenstein vaccinations posing as Covid vaccinations.

    No doubt. The bum's rush to deploy mRNA technology was always in the wings just waiting for an excuse. I'm reading some real horror stories of lives lost or forever changed.

    I doubt it would be harmful, but no one should receive vaccinations that are not needed.

    I didn't believe I'd ever had chickenpox either, but SURPRISE! I got shingles in 2017. (I have not had the shingles vaccine and don't plan to get one.)

    I have had the pneumonia vaccine, probably 5 0r 6 years ago.

    So it wasn't awful? Perhaps my perception of shingles is exaggerated because the only two people I knew who had it were miserable with it. An aunt had it for the last few years of her life and was in a lot of pain. If it went away for her, it soon came back. My oldest brother had it once, and he said it was extremely painful, but it did not reoccur.

    Well, it wasn't exactly a party, but not really horrible like for some people. I guess I had a "mild" case and it was only on my arm... it followed the nerve path from my shoulder to the base of my thumb with an itchy rash. When it popped up I sent an email and a photo to my doctor and she called in a prescription right away. Apparently if you don't get the medicines started soon after the rash appears, the Rx isn't very effective. I had mild symptoms for about 3 weeks and some scarring, but the scars have faded.

    No and my docs never mention shots to me, they know me and my good strong health. I don't think I had any kind of shot in maybe 30 yrs when I had a tetanus, I don't depend on the shots in the dark path. Now I guess someone who is not well then may be good but then too they can work on their own systems.....so much to consider for our body's health.

    Very good info.
    Self-education and homeschooling helps, but is not required -

    simple look for and keep looking for ANY health care provider who heals people, instead of harming .
