This is the last video in this series on vaccines. Be sure to watch the other two on the flu (th-cam.com/video/oa6UtySJKFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x8WY-BPIz_mE5eoj) and pneumonia (th-cam.com/video/r3PuCQ8CxTc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lhQYocm4puEUBEhP) vaccines.
Excellent, as all your highly impactful/beneficial videos, books ! As you make clear, it is striking that uptake of this vaccine is not much greater, given the potential consequences of Shingles including PHN (Post herpetic neuralgia). Thanks so much for your commitment to educating and providing the public pathways to healthy living/aging ! P.S.: Our Team participated in the development of both the Zostavax (1st generation vaccine) as well as Shingrix (current & most efficacious) shingles vaccines over a 9 year + period, at an estimated cost of >$1.1 B (to add perspective to the high cost/vaccination series---most of which is now covered by insurance).
Thank you for encouraging people to get the shingles vaccine, Dr. Greger! My dad didn't have the vaccine and got shingles, and the rash spread to his face! He could have lost is eyesight; the risk isn't worth it, folks! When my dad recovered he and my mom got their shingles vaccine as soon as they could.
You have to weigh the risk of potential harm caused by shingles against the potential harm caused by the vaccine, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. That's a serious and life altering condition in which the immune system attacks nerve tissue. It's awful.
My mother got Bell’s palsy from the vaccine. She was encouraged to get it by her doctor and she was very healthy - straight after she had the vaccine she got Bell’s palsy and her face/eye never fully recovered. I think more should be researched into the side effects.
Like almost every MD's, Dr. Greger will downplay any vaccine side effects and certainly won't explain how to recover. Those with Bell's palsy should immediately start supplementing L-Lysine, Oregano Oil, MSM, B vitamins (B6,B9,B12), and Niacin, They should also consume foods with the highest Lysine/Arginine ratio. The root cause of Bell's palsy is very similar to shingles, so this works for either (or any other virus that inflames cranial nerves). Those with long-term palsy damage can gradually improve over the course of years with anti-inflammatory foods and herbs that promote nerve regeneration.
I got that (Bell's) when there was a Cold Snap during winter, Recovered months later. She Never Recovered, that's rough. Scarring from the Immune Response prevented the nerves from growing back hence Steroids very very early on should be administered
Everyone I know completely recovers from Bell's Palsy. I replied with the diet that heals this, and apparently Dr. Greger deletes such info. So the answer exists, but you will never find it here.
@@KeyofDavid5778 No, I did not. And I don't really know why I would. The vaccine has been determined to be safe and effective by people with a lot better understanding of the ingredients than I will ever have.
Fortunately, if you don't get this new vaccine or get it too late, there are Valacyclovir and acyclovir antivirals extremely effective on shingles along with all Herpe related viruses which include cold sores. Cheap pills (and come in cream form), antiviral usually prescription in most countries, but over the counter acyclovir are available in Germany since the 1990's dosing for cold sores. Stronger dose still needs to be filled as a Rx in Germany. Anyway, very effective with small side effects. And you only take the pills for a short period of time. So you're covered many ways on shingles.
I had shingles and no thank you I don't want it again. I already have glaucoma and sure don't want to chance have shingles on my facial nerve. I know a lady who went blind from shingles.
I also got mine ASAP! I have seen enough of my older friends suffer terrible pain from shingles who didn’t get the vaccine! 😳I would like to avoid that for myself if possible 😅👍
It's so important to protect yourself from shingles. A year ago, I developed Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, a rare complication of shingles which seriously damaged my 7th facial nerve. The right side of my face is still significantly affected, as well as my hearing. I can no longer work or drive. Please get vaccinated!
I’ve never had chickenpox. My physician recommended I get the shingles vaccine anyway. I wonder if Mr. Gregor would also recommend I get the shingles vaccine.
I don’t remember getting chickenpox either so I took a blood test to test for chickenpox pox antibodies and I did test positive for chickenpox antibodies so I must have been exposed without realizing it. My next step is the shingles vaccine.
My mom said she never had chickenpox. Just like you, she had a positive result on her antibody test. She got the old vax and got shingles anyway. She suffered Horribly. I hope you don't! I'm allergic to the vax. I hope I don't either!
Get a titer test. My mother told me I never had the chickenpox, but I got a titer test and was positive for antibodies. You may have had it and just not been symptomatic. You don't want to get the vaccine unless you've been exposed to the chickenpox.
They used to say no, but they've changed the guidelines. Even if you haven't had chicken pox per say you could have been exposed to it and had very mild without realizing and still develope antibodies which would mean you still have a chance of developing shingles. Shingles is something you do not want, very painful from what I hear from my patients who have had it.
I got the shindrix vaccine, the second one made me exhausted the second day. Well worth getting the vaccine. I had an uncle who never recovered from it and died and my son (then 32) got it. I got the shots as soon as I was able. I’m 64 and have never looked back
Curious if you son was prescribed valacyclovir or acyclovir... valacyclovir original screw the public for all them money they have brand is Valtrex, is considered more effective in the states because the brand says so, but either are just as effective. The acyclovir can be more effective in that it is the active metabolized ingredient that is effect even immediately in cream forms, Valtrex version just allows it to be metabolized from pill into the blood stream more effectively. Did they take either of those two antivrials? Curious if they did how effective it was for them? Typically it's extremely effective. Is for me on cold sores and was for my mom who had a serious outbreak of shingles that nearly got into her eye. Cleared it up very quick, within a week.
Had shingles when I was 32 and everybody said I was too young but that didn't seem to make a difference to the shingles. Again when I was 46, knew exactly what it was and didn't even go to the doc. Feeling for those folks with it on the face, yikes, mine was around half the trunk. Since then went whole plant food exclusive, no salt, oil, or sugar, high raw vegan loading in the fresh fruits and vegetables, getting in a pitcher of green smoothie every day with flax and chia & been doing this about five years now. Not saying the shingles aren't going to show up and slap me buuut probably less likely. I'm healthier now than as a teenager and bouncing with energy so at least if it does show up again maybe it won't take me down quite as badly 🥦❤

About 5-6 years ago I had the Shingles on my back twice in 6 weeks; it was excruciating! The pain was so bad I had days I could not sit down, but having to drive to work made that something I couldn't avoid (there were lots of tears). When my doctor's office called me to let me know they had gotten a shipment and said they only had enough for 5 patients and I needed to get there soon, I was so thrilled I went the next day and got my first shot and later went back for the second shot when it was due. I never got the shingles again, thank goodness!
I know of friends who have gotten shingles and they’re in their 30s. Why do we need to wait to 50 to get it? Any hope the age can be lowered in the next years? I had chickenpox as a child (my mom put me with my brother who had gotten infected so I could get it…blame it on the 80s), and now I’m a little concerned.
There are some really good ones. Thank goodness they exist. It's just a pity there was not a safe and effective one for covid. It's also extremely unfortunate that because of the mRNA disaster and the gross dishonesty that people in authority engaged in to promote it and the unprecedented harm it caused, many people now distrust the older vaccines that actually are quite beneficial. It's such a shame.
I had chickenpox when I was about two years old - - and I gave it to my dad. And then I had shingles I think when I was about 11 or 12. Does that mean I still need a vaccine? I had my first shot about two years ago, but I was shocked at how expensive it was. And I didn’t go back for the second one. So, do you think it would be advised to start fresh and have two vaccines within the correct appropriate time span? I’m a healthy 69-year-old.
You should definitely get the vaccine as it's not uncommon for people to get shingles more than once. I had it in my thirties, and again in my 50s, this time with a serious complication because it affected my facial nerve. Trust me, you don't want that!
I’m not sure if I should get it. Both my sister and I haven’t had chicken pox but nursed our children through it and still didn’t get it. Although our mother insisted we had measles but not chickenpox, I’m not convinced it was measles. 🤷♀️ Is there an antibody test going on see if we have had chickenpox?
I pray this vaccine works as I’m going through eye shingles at the moment and it is truly awful. I’m annoyed I didn’t think of the vaccine before but I just didn’t. What a big mistake.
I had the old shot Zostavax. Then I got the new shot Shingrix when it came out. I had a very severe reaction. Massive bruising on my arm for a month, my arm also turned bright red for a month. And I spent 5 days in bed sick as a dog. Not doing the 2nd one.
Does your dog get sick a lot? Mine doesn't. Do you know why you make that expression or do you just use it because you hear others use it and you never really questioned why?
Same here. I actually went to an ophthalmologist my eye pain was so severe. He told me it was from the vaccine and that he had a rough time either it as well. The video is making me consider dose 2, but I’m way past the 6 months.
One thing to add I got my shingles shot about 8 months ago since then I've been sick at least four times before that I hadn't been sick in 5 years never even caught covid
Vaccines aren't all bad. Some are dubious and some very good. Best ones are mumps and measles vaccines. But many are good. This one is new. And consider yourself a ginny pig on such new things. So far looks effective enough. Personally though, for this one, it is somewhat unnecessary and sort of contradicts why people frequently get shingles at an elderly age, you immunity gets weak, and vaccines require decent immune response to work. Second and as importantly, so long as you get the antiviral medicines once you're diagnosed, you're good to go. Clears the stuff up very quick. So this one is more of a case by case one. Me personally am interested when I do turn 50. But not a priority one.
oh no, wm suggested me to get shingles, flu and covid all together, and today i feel like i have the flu x 100= hurting all over, fever to 104, if not better by tomorrow Im calling my dr or ER visit tonight. I do have Stage III renal failure, diabetes and about 20 other current conditions that led me to be disabled
Yes, you're right. We should all get our medical advice from an anonymous person on the internet, maybe someone going by 'pookiepookie79'. That's a perfectly sensible thing to do. Or maybe employ someone with a ouija board to predict your future health!
Who did these studies? The vaccine companies? Vested interests? How long did you say? Only been tested for 5 years? And you signed up for that? As someone else has already mentioned in the comments section- what happened to arming ourselves with diet and lifestyle? Regarding said studies, are we grouping healthy individuals in the same category with standard Americans? How many vaccine injuries go under the radar, as it is quite the challenge to go head to head with big pharma in court.. What are the ingredients to the vaccine? Is there any liability if there is an adverse reaction?
Dr, Greger is controlled opposition, leading people astray who were trying to get healthy from diet and lifestyle. You're missing the most important question. What are the ingredients of the placebo? That's how they've fraudulantly tested vaccines for 45 years, and that's why you shouldn't blindly trust a shill doctor who continuously glorifiies such testing as "the test".
Could whoever manages these comments please tell me if it's you who is deleting all the comments about the risks of the shingles V or if it's TH-cam doing it?
I am curious. I heard that if a person got chicken pox as a child and never got the vaccine, they don't get shingles. Is there any studies that back this up?
Listen to the video again. He said if you ever had chickenpox that virus lays dormant in your spine and has a good chance of becoming shingles later in life
I am asking for studies. My older brother got the vaccine and I got chicken pox and no vaccine. He got shingles bad. I haven't...yet. That is why I am asking about a study.
Shingles and chicken pox are different viruses. No studies have proven them to be the same. They have discovered that viruses reactivate but not one causing the other. Thus, the naming of shingles vaccine, not reactivated chicken pox (rcp) vaccine.
I want to see long-term, human population based studies. Autoimmune conditions are being considered by many independent researchers and biologists as being correlated to certain vaccines. Time will tell.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is a known side effect of the shingles vaccine. It's an autoimmune disease. I became allergic to eggs and dogs after I got my combination vaccine in my teens. I went from eating them regularly to suddenly going into anaphylaxis the next time I ate them after my shot. It's just coincidental, I was told.
I'm curious to see if anybody else has developed tinnitus after getting the shingles vaccine. Mine started two days after my second shot and hasn't let up in almost two years. I'm habituated to it by now, and I'd rather have mild tinnitus than shingles, but I'd love to hear if anybody else has developed tinnitus after their second shot.
It's almost comical that he says "so far so good" while highlighting a passage about autoimmune concerns due to the potent adjuvant. His next book should be How Not to Understand Diseases.
Whoa! I couldn’t get past the first sentence. Seems antithetical to everything you teach about how not to die, how not to diet, the daily dozen++. My food & lifestyle choices are my Rx for successful aging.
No it isn't. Healthy eating doesn't make you immune to contagious disease and it's after effects. It protects your from food related lifestyle disease.
Food & lifestyle does not definitely protect you from everything. It is crazy people believe that. You can eat the best, workout and do everything you can to be healthy, but you can still get sick. Because there is factors that expose you, that are & will always be out of your control. Especially, things you cannot see or control, like air pollution, pollution in the earth, things that you were exposed to as a child, viruses, bacteria and so on.
He teaches a fairly borderline diet, and he looks about 20 years older than his age. So you probably shouldn't trust his advice on how not to age/die...
I know several people who solved their shingles with nutrition amd chiropractic. What about oible blind placebo studies comparison of these drugs and all cause mortality rate of people who run put amd get shots verses those who don't get drugs and prevent disease by diet. I wish you would stick to food, where your data is analyzed for gold standard and who funds them. You are showing your typical non- analytic follow the crowd side when you don't tear about data. I'm losing respect. Much better websites analyzing drug data the way you do woth food. My experience is "people who try to be a jack of all trades are Master at none". Please analyze quality data or stick to food. Your video content is getting shoddy 😔
I've never had shingles. Never getting the vac. Went 30 years without flu, got J&J vac and within a year had cancer of immune system. Lymphoma. No more of these shots for me.
The entire reason one gets shingles though is often your immune system is compromised. Or simply loses the immunity to "chicken pox" the initial outbreak form of the virus. Vaccines rely on your immune system to respond. If you have a good immune system, you should be immune to it now due actually having an outbreak. Antivirals pills are available that clear shingles up very quick too.
I am still on the fence. I had Shingles before age 60, then was told insurance wouldn't cover vaccination until I think 65. Anyway, I've had no recurrence so might take my chances without vaccination.
I watched one friend end up in so much pain that she tripped and broke her hip and died about a year later. Another friend is still in constant pain from her shingles out break 8 months ago and has lost another 5 pounds she couldn’t afford to lose. I took the vaccine as soon as I could get it. I don’t recall any side effects from the vaccine.
Agree. I had ultimate trust/respect for the doc - but silent (I sure didn't fine any expressed opinion/data) during COVID and the vax. Hmmmm..... What's up?

@@Mr.N0.0ne Aren't we a little hypersensitive!
Just what I wanted to hear 😊
I had shingles as a teen. It was awful.
Im not even 50 yet, and I'm already vaccinated since a year ago.
Is shingles vaccine a one and done or do you have to get it annually?
The Shingrix vaccine is not an annual vaccine. You only need to get it once (it's two doses spaced two to six months apart).
No vaccine actually lasts forever. But they don't tell you that.
97% efficiency! Now where have I heard that before?
Can you elaborate? Where have you seen it before? I’m not familiar with the literature.
@@pdblouin LOL - Covid vax (Fauci, et al., ad nauseum).
Great Video!
I think he forgot to say at the end "brought to you by Pfizer."
One thing to add I got my shingles shot about 8 months ago since then I've been sick at least four times before that I hadn't been sick in 5 years never even caught covid
Why did the age change from 60 to 50? I was waiting until I turned 60. But after 2020 I don't want any vaccines. 😢
Vaccines aren't all bad. Some are dubious and some very good. Best ones are mumps and measles vaccines. But many are good.
This one is new. And consider yourself a ginny pig on such new things. So far looks effective enough.
Personally though, for this one, it is somewhat unnecessary and sort of contradicts why people frequently get shingles at an elderly age, you immunity gets weak, and vaccines require decent immune response to work.
Second and as importantly, so long as you get the antiviral medicines once you're diagnosed, you're good to go. Clears the stuff up very quick.
So this one is more of a case by case one.
Me personally am interested when I do turn 50. But not a priority one.
@@jmitterii2 ok. I'll look up antivirals. Made it to age 60 almost 2 years ago.......
Yes after the Plandemic and the illegal coercive tactics of Governments I don't trust them.
oh no, wm suggested me to get shingles, flu and covid all together, and today i feel like i have the flu x 100= hurting all over, fever to 104, if not better by tomorrow Im calling my dr or ER visit tonight. I do have Stage III renal failure, diabetes and about 20 other current conditions that led me to be disabled
Why would anyone trust the medical field ever again?
You don’t have to. It’s a personal choice.
Yes, you're right. We should all get our medical advice from an anonymous person on the internet, maybe someone going by 'pookiepookie79'. That's a perfectly sensible thing to do. Or maybe employ someone with a ouija board to predict your future health!
Who did these studies? The vaccine companies? Vested interests? How long did you say? Only been tested for 5 years? And you signed up for that?
As someone else has already mentioned in the comments section- what happened to arming ourselves with diet and lifestyle? Regarding said studies, are we grouping healthy individuals in the same category with standard Americans?
How many vaccine injuries go under the radar, as it is quite the challenge to go head to head with big pharma in court..
What are the ingredients to the vaccine?
Is there any liability if there is an adverse reaction?
Dr, Greger is controlled opposition, leading people astray who were trying to get healthy from diet and lifestyle.
You're missing the most important question. What are the ingredients of the placebo? That's how they've fraudulantly tested vaccines for 45 years, and that's why you shouldn't blindly trust a shill doctor who continuously glorifiies such testing as "the test".
Danke für Ihren Kommentar. Das sind die auch meine Fragen.
Should you get it if you're in your early-to-mid 40s?
Could whoever manages these comments please tell me if it's you who is deleting all the comments about the risks of the shingles V or if it's TH-cam doing it?

I am curious. I heard that if a person got chicken pox as a child and never got the vaccine, they don't get shingles. Is there any studies that back this up?
Listen to the video again. He said if you ever had chickenpox that virus lays dormant in your spine and has a good chance of becoming shingles later in life
The opposite. You can only get shingles if you already went through chicken pox.
I am asking for studies. My older brother got the vaccine and I got chicken pox and no vaccine. He got shingles bad. I haven't...yet. That is why I am asking about a study.
I had chicken pox twice as a child. No vaccine. I got shingles last year. I was 39, so the vaccine wasn't even on my radar...
Shingles and chicken pox are different viruses. No studies have proven them to be the same. They have discovered that viruses reactivate but not one causing the other. Thus, the naming of shingles vaccine, not reactivated chicken pox (rcp) vaccine.
My natural immune system works fine. Luckily I did not got the Covid vax so I am good.
This is not a mass production mRNA "vaccine" full of bits of eColi DNA...
I want to see long-term, human population based studies. Autoimmune conditions are being considered by many independent researchers and biologists as being correlated to certain vaccines. Time will tell.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is a known side effect of the shingles vaccine. It's an autoimmune disease.
I became allergic to eggs and dogs after I got my combination vaccine in my teens. I went from eating them regularly to suddenly going into anaphylaxis the next time I ate them after my shot. It's just coincidental, I was told.
All cause mortality studies would be nice ...
Our government/Google likes to hide these studies
I"M IN MY LATE 60's and I have never had chicken pox, Do I NEED A SHINGLES SHOT? Even my doc will not say.
Compliance is a helluva drug....
I'm curious to see if anybody else has developed tinnitus after getting the shingles vaccine. Mine started two days after my second shot and hasn't let up in almost two years. I'm habituated to it by now, and I'd rather have mild tinnitus than shingles, but I'd love to hear if anybody else has developed tinnitus after their second shot.
Magnesium Bisglycinate SP?
Basically has ended my mild tenitis.
Worth a shot. Happy accident for me. Originally I took it for chronic cramping
It's almost comical that he says "so far so good" while highlighting a passage about autoimmune concerns due to the potent adjuvant. His next book should be How Not to Understand Diseases.
Whoa! I couldn’t get past the first sentence. Seems antithetical to everything you teach about how not to die, how not to diet, the daily dozen++. My food & lifestyle choices are my Rx for successful aging.
No it isn't. Healthy eating doesn't make you immune to contagious disease and it's after effects. It protects your from food related lifestyle disease.
I eat mostly raw whole foods, but I'm not deluded enough to think that will protect me from the measles virus, do you?
Food & lifestyle does not definitely protect you from everything. It is crazy people believe that. You can eat the best, workout and do everything you can to be healthy, but you can still get sick. Because there is factors that expose you, that are & will always be out of your control. Especially, things you cannot see or control, like air pollution, pollution in the earth, things that you were exposed to as a child, viruses, bacteria and so on.
He teaches a fairly borderline diet, and he looks about 20 years older than his age. So you probably shouldn't trust his advice on how not to age/die...
@@peterjsmith5918 That's what you think a 70 yo looks like???
I know several people who solved their shingles with nutrition amd chiropractic. What about oible blind placebo studies comparison of these drugs and all cause mortality rate of people who run put amd get shots verses those who don't get drugs and prevent disease by diet. I wish you would stick to food, where your data is analyzed for gold standard and who funds them. You are showing your typical non- analytic follow the crowd side when you don't tear about data. I'm losing respect. Much better websites analyzing drug data the way you do woth food. My experience is "people who try to be a jack of all trades are Master at none". Please analyze quality data or stick to food. Your video content is getting shoddy 😔
I guess I we know who’s been writing checks to Dr. Greger. Can’t wait to see his Covid vaccine video!
What this has to do with "nutrition"?
He just took a short break from nutrition to promote vaccines.
I've never had shingles. Never getting the vac. Went 30 years without flu, got J&J vac and within a year had cancer of immune system. Lymphoma.
No more of these shots for me.
Did you ever catch covid?
Cool story bro
@@RoughNeckDeltaYou don't realise how unoriginal you are.
I had chickenpox as a kid, I then got Shingles 2 years ago, am I protected or do I still need the vaccine?
The entire reason one gets shingles though is often your immune system is compromised. Or simply loses the immunity to "chicken pox" the initial outbreak form of the virus.
Vaccines rely on your immune system to respond. If you have a good immune system, you should be immune to it now due actually having an outbreak. Antivirals pills are available that clear shingles up very quick too.
I am still on the fence. I had Shingles before age 60, then was told insurance wouldn't cover vaccination until I think 65. Anyway, I've had no recurrence so might take my chances without vaccination.
Hell no! Keep ‘em all.
Noted, but I think I will listen to the Dr.
I watched one friend end up in so much pain that she tripped and broke her hip and died about a year later. Another friend is still in constant pain from her shingles out break 8 months ago and has lost another 5 pounds she couldn’t afford to lose. I took the vaccine as soon as I could get it. I don’t recall any side effects from the vaccine.
Try eating a whole food diet and maintaining a strong, healthy immune system.
So you would have preferred polio. Interesting.
Oil pulls and onion socks are all we need 🤔 oh also crystals for moon energy
97% efficacy, where have i heard that before?
Every person i know that has had shingles... and I do me every single one of them describes it as hell. The level of hell varies but yeah bad news.
Would it matter if you had a bad reaction to the covid one?
I imagine it would
mRNA mass production bathed in eColi DNA has nothing to do with this actual vaccine
I thought Dr. G. was born in 1972? so he's fifty already 😮

Dr Gregor who kept his mouth shut throughout the pandemic why should we listen to him ever again?
Actually in the beginning he promoted the vaccine with great excitement.
Agree. I had ultimate trust/respect for the doc - but silent (I sure didn't fine any expressed opinion/data) during COVID and the vax. Hmmmm..... What's up?
