This* is what made me sad today: Bram Moolenaar, the #VIM creator passed away.

* Also the fact that my little one has #chickenpox and I don't know if I ever had it.

ICYMI: @baylorspears reports on bills from #RepLisaSubeck & #SenKeldaRoys to expand vaccine access in WI, in the same legislative session that blocked
#DHSWI from updating #chickenpox and mandating meningitis vaccines.

Hey there everyone who has had the #ChickenPox. #Shingles does not always come with excruciating pain.

So, don't look for that as a critical determining factor if that rash is shingles.

You also don't need to be over 50 or 60.

Also, #CoronaVirus has this great feature where is goes through your body and wakes all those those viruses laying dormant in you.

So, chicken pox becomes shingles. Epstein Barr (mononucleosis) becomes MS. Now this might happen anyway, but #COVID pours a bit of gas on that fire.

I would like to thank everyone that decided that not treating disease, climate change and pollution for creating this new reality where the old rules from the stable world don't really apply. Good job.

Childhood #chickenpox can manifest decades later in adults as #shingles

Likewise the giggles can later present as an extremely irritating adult.

Finally, other EU countries have this, we should have this added to the childhood vaccine schedule years ago.

#Chickenpox vaccine for children moves a step closer as Hiqa says it's 'safe and cost effective' (via @thejournal_ie) https://jrnl.ie/6117338

#Chickenpox causes unneeded suffering for kids, esp those who have skin conditions, and as #Shingles in older immune compromised people.

Most anti-vaxxers are nuts or extremely ignorant. Their leaders are evil.

The damage they're doing to society and others will be felt for decades.

If you have children, and they haven't had chicken-pox already, please make sure they're vaccinated.

Neuralgia sucks, especially when it comes back a decade later for a second go-round.

Anyone here know anything about shingles? I’m due to travel to friends early tomorrow and one of them has just discovered he as shingles. Trouble is I have never had chickenpox. Should I postpone the trip or am I over-reacting? #shingles #chickenpox

Oh for the love of fk.

Wikipedia article about the various herpes viruses. Everything from chicken pox to the STI to certain blisters on the fingers is part of the family. This is nuts.

Spacing with dots because it is an illness with a visible presentation.

Over the course of the past 25 years since the CDC recommended chickenpox vaccination: 91 million cases, 238,000 hospitalizations, and ~2,000 deaths have been prevented.

"It is highly unlikely to get #chickenpox a second time." 😒😫😱

"What is now becoming clear is that this resistance to vaccination is leaching out of the soil of the same partisan divides—and spreading beyond aversion to #Covid19 immunization. Party affiliation is now becoming more and more associated with hesitancy toward #immunization against such common childhood diseases such as #measles, #mumps, #rubella, #polio and #chickenpox."

Study: Persistent varicella zoster virus infection following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was associated with the presence of encoded spike protein in the lesion

Conclusion:
We presented a case of persistent VZV infection following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination and the presence of spike protein in the affected skin. Further vigilance of the vaccine side effect and investigation for the role of SP is warranted.
