1. ACE ACE United States says:

    You can not CATCH shingles, people. Shingles erupts when your immunity wanes and the virus reactivates within your own body. It didn't come from the vaccinated grandchild, it came from your very own nervous system where it's been sitting since you had chicken pox as a child. Had grandchild had chicken pox instead of the vaccine, you'd have been exposed to the virus again and your immunity would have been boosted. That is how the vaccine is causing the shingles epidemic. Not because adults are catching it from vaccinated kids (or else we'd have "caught" it from kids with chicken pox prior), it's because we no longer get an immunity boost from sick kids around us! That's what the article is all about!
