Herpes infection possibly linked to COVID-19 vaccine, study says
Study finds shingles in some immune-compromised patients after COVID-19 vaccine
A handful of COVID-19 vaccine recipients who also suffer from weakened immune systems developed shingles a few days after getting the shot, according to a new study Scientists in Israel studied 491…nypost.com
Herpes infections may be a side effect of a COVID-19 vaccine, experts have revealed.
Scientists in Israel identified six cases in a new study of patients developing a skin rash known as herpes zoster — or shingles — after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, according to a study in the Rheumatology journal.
Herpes zoster starts off as a small, itchy skin rash, but if left untreated, it could cause nerve damage and pain, the Jerusalem Post reported.
This can include a prolonged burning sensation on the skin even after the rash disappears.
Researchers from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Carmel Medical Center in Haifa found those with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases had a higher risk of developing the herpes infection.

Out of 491 patients, six people or 1.2 percent experienced the infection, researchers said.
The six patients all have mild cases of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases and were young, though the infection is generally more common in those over the age of 50.

“That is why we reported on it,” Dr. Victoria Furer, the lead author, told the outlet.
Five of them developed herpes zoster after the first dose and the sixth got it after the second.
But it’s still unclear whether the vaccine caused the cases of herpes zoster.
“We cannot say the vaccine is the cause at this point,” Furer told the outlet. “We can say it might be a trigger in some patients.”

Furer said further research is necessary and one implication could be that patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases be encouraged to get vaccinated against herpes zoster before getting their COVID-19 shot.
“We should not scare people,” she told the Jerusalem Post. “The overall message is to get vaccinated. It is just important to be aware.”

You have the right to your opinion. I have the right to disagree.I am laughing my ass off at all the anti vax hysteria.
My wife and I, my neighbors and about 40 more people in my sub division, my son who works at the VA hospital, and all the staff at the VA hospital, and dozens of veterans everyday, have gotten the pfizer vaccine. NO bad reactions beyond a sore arm. No missed work days and no hysteria like here on this board.
You don't want the vaccine, don't get the damn thing. When you are in the hospital don't be like the dumb ass that still claimed it was all a hoax right up until his last breath.
Frankly, if you didn't get the vaccine, all treatment should be at your own personal expense if you come down with covid.
How do some of you people live with your constant fear. Fear of covid. Fear of the vaccine. Fear of the government. Fear of all that you don't understand. Fear of your own freaking shadow. Pitiful and sad.
Last I heard, no one was forcing you to get any vaccine.You have the right to your opinion. I have the right to disagree.
BTW, I have no fear. I question authority.
You sound just like a guy I know ....told me one day " I will be first in line to get the jab " and if I didn't get one also that I better stay the hell away from him ! Well he did and I haven't seen him since ...I am laughing my ass off at all the anti vax hysteria.

Pfizer taking report ‘very seriously,’ but downplays connection between vaccines and injuries in general
Hope your mother gets well soon Bones.Here is a link to several vax reactions. With pics. Not for those with a weak stomach.
On a more personal level, my mom is still in the hospital. She went in with pneumonia 8 days after her 2nd dose. Probably just a coincidence.

You've seriously studied Natural News or Epoch Times, not biology or molecular biology.Actually, your take on covid and fear is ass backwards.
The people who take the "jab" are typically much more fearful of Covid 19 and/or the government, their employers, and their peers than those who don't. Some, like those who have serious existing health issues, have good reasons to take it.
And many have shamefully politicized and are taking the "jab" to virtue signal, to go along to get along, and/or indicate support for an authoritarian government that is completely out of control.
For those of us who have bothered to seriously study the issue--and don't blindly embrace the govt/media narrative--fear has nothing to do with accepting or rejecting the Covid19 "shot".
Walkin away, you have a good attitude. God gave us this body and expects us to take care of it. Doing all you can to keep fit, build your immune system is definitely what God wants us to do.First off...It is not fear that has made some of us hesitate to submit to this medical experiment.
Being cautious of the things that we put into the body that we were given is just being a good steward
of the "container" in which our spirit-man dwells. If you believe this or not, matters not to me.
The works done to and in this body will be held into account when we stand before Our Creator.
I think what bothers me the most about this whole situation is that instead of trusting in the basics of maintaining a healthy body ,(good diet, plenty of rest, exercise, vitamins, praying for health and wisdom) my fellow countrymen are willing to place their future health and well-being in the hands of liars, cheats, and thieves and that is a fact.
Hesitancy does not equal fear...it shows logic, reason and good common sense in a day and age where truth is a very difficult commodity to find.
Humbly Submitted with a wish for A Pleasant Day to You All,
Walkin' Away
I wasn’t. For me, it was pure Y2K. “It’s not the odds; it’s the stakes.” But were I not living alone, I wouldn’t have taken it.The people who take the "jab" are typically much more fearful of Covid 19 and/or the government

You don't know how the vaccine even works.
Learn how the vaccine works down to the cellular biology level and then talk to me.
Last I heard nobody was going to hold you down and stick a needle in your arm.
I don't know anyone who got the vaccine to "virtue signal" except maybe the politicians, of which Trump and his wife were one of. By the way he still recommends others get the shots.
Old people and people with serious morbidities get the vaccine because their chances of dying or lifelong disability from covid are pretty serious. My son got the vaccine because he works at the VA hospital and sees veterans , not usually in good health, come in every day with it. Some go home and some go into the hospital and some die.
Anyway, yep, the gov is trying to get people to receive the vaccine, but for people that live and exist only for conspiracies, that action has the opposite effect. Trying to convince a conspiracy nut to do something is a fools errand. Tell them not to do it might be the only way to get them to do it.
Another thing is that most of the members here live in the country and have minimal close interactions with others so their chances of getting covid are pretty small and they'll be just fine, until one day they're not. Hopefully that day won't come.

As you say, “It’s not the odds; it’s the stakes.” If I was in a similar situation, I might well have done a risk assessment and made the same decision.I wasn’t. For me, it was pure Y2K. “It’s not the odds; it’s the stakes.” But were I not living alone, I wouldn’t have taken it.

It's all he has. TerryK appears to have real difficulty in having a rational discussion or addressing issues that don't support the mainstream narratives. In the absence of facts and his inability to rebut alternative views, he resorts to insults.Why do you just ridicule and take shots at the rest of us morons !???
I have been here for years but not a member for just a year I guess.... sometimes nothing constructive from some...It's all he has.

Sorry to hear about your sister. Hope she recovers soon. Thx and really appreciate you sharing these reports!Another one of dh's work friends told him the 1st shot caused his entire body to be covered with a painful, swollen rash for several weeks.
He's terrified to get the second one and decided to opt out.
I know of a similar situation.Friend decided to get the VAX.
3 days later, he became so ill, he went to the ER.
They tested him and he had bi-lateral pneumonia, and they also said he had Covid 19.
5 days in ICU - given anti/viral IV's - IV's of steroids, and Blood Thinners. 3 weeks recovery.
He didn't have Covid before getting work-related the shot.. insists the only possible way was from the VAX

Terry, if you are so much smarter than all of cowards and conspiracy theorists, and you are so very brave, why do you spend your time hanging around here trying to insult people?The difference is that I don't care if you get the shot or not.
As long as it doesn't affect me, I don't care anymore.
I've quit trying to educate people here who don't want to know how or why the vaccines work and have decided to leave them to their fate.
Even someone as bullheaded as Trump sure jumped at the chance to get the latest "experimental" antibody treatment once he got sick. Notice he didn't put his faith in hydroxy or ivermectin when the shit hit the fan for him. He opted to go with the scientists he used to criticize.
He also decided to get the vaccine before he left the white house.
Understand that I have nothing against you or anyone else here. I tried to educate people who have not the faintest clue how the vaccines work, but they didn't want to hear it. That's fine. I did my Christian duty, I have no regrets.
So please excuse me if instead of posting over and over how the vaccines actually work, I just stick to sarcastic comments about people's foolishness.
They are not much different that the sarcastic comments most of the people here are making against the vaccines and people who decide to get them.
Florida man thought Covid was a hoax. hear him from his hospital bedSo ... you realize there’s many who have been vaccinated ... in the hospitals ... right now? Personally I now many who had bad reactions to the vaccine. 3 deaths, and many seriously ill and admitted to the hospital. Two co-workers came down with Covid a day after the jab. One seriously and ended up admitted to the hospital. Out for weeks. Just heard today of two more getting the vaccine, one puking blood. The other legs are swelling and can’t walk.
So I say to you .... when someone you know that has a reaction to the vaccine and dies or ends up in the hospital. Don’t be a dumb ass and blame it on something else.
Seriously though ... your really sounding like a liberal troll.
And attacking comments like that just show where you are coming from.Terry, if you are so much smarter than all of cowards and conspiracy theorists, and you are so very brave, why do you spend your time hanging around here trying to insult people?
Are you perhaps mentally ill and into S & M>>>>or are you just a troll?
