Had your husband previously had chicken pox?

So his shingles came from that infection probably.

And shingles is likely to appear when your system is under stress. If we have had chicken pox then we have the germ in our system waiting for the right occasion to reappear as shingles.

I think he is stressed because of me. Also he's got abuddy and they both like to go bicicle riding and boy oh boy they have been going bicycle riding a lot over some Mountain trails so it could be physical stress.

This report is biased. It picks out the bits that fit its anti vaccination agenda. In the findings the original report says

"..... in all of the studies in countries with a universal chicken pox (CP) vaccination program, the time period since the occurrence of large reductions in CP incidence is perhaps too short .....

Also, some studies noted an increase in shingles ( HZ) preceding initiation of CP vaccination. This could be explained by an ageing population, increasing immunosuppression (by disease and/or medication), but also by more accurate surveillance and the implementation of electronic data collection/reporting.

However, as much is yet to be learned about risk factors for HZ in otherwise healthy individuals, it remains challenging to control for changing risk factors over time........, it is not clear from these studies to which extent it affects HZ incidence in the community when CP incidence is reduced."

I.e. It is not clear how much the chicken pox vaccine affects the incidence of shingles in the population.

I'm just glad I don't have a young child to try to make a sensible decision, my daughter had all the vaccinations when she was little and of course my grandkids her children have also. Have a nice day Mary

However what you think about very young children having so so many vaccinations before they go to school and they might have taken out Mercury however there is huge amounts of aluminum and that goes straight to the brain
