For the past several years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) has been actively promoting the shingles vaccine as
the solution to what some experts say is a building shingles epidemic.
But
a new study published in the German medical journal Der Hautarzt, or
“The Dermatologist” in English, has revealed that the childhood
vaccine for chicken pox, a common viral disease related to shingles, may
actually be directly responsible for triggering this epidemic.
Also known clinically as varicella-zoster virus (VZV), chicken pox is a
relatively mild form of herpes virus that typically manifests itself during
the early childhood years. Nearly all children who develop the condition at
a young age, in fact, never develop it again, and are also usually imparted
with lifelong immunity to both VZV and its relative, herpes zoster, a more
severe form of the disease commonly referred to as shingles.
According to the new study; however, getting vaccinated with the chicken pox
vaccine, which first became commercially available in the U.S. back in 1995,
could damage this natural immune cycle. Based on the available data, getting
vaccinated for chicken pox may end up blocking the mechanisms the body uses
to develop its own natural immunity to both chicken pox and shingles,
causing much worse infection later on down the road.
A five-year-old girl, it turns out, was found recently to have developed
severe symptoms of shingles not long after being vaccinated for chicken pox.
Researchers from Helios Klinikum in Germany conducted a direct
immunofluorescence assay on the child to look for evidence of the vaccine
strain in the infection, and found that the vaccine strain had, indeed,
caused the child to become infected with the much more severe shingles virus.
“This case demonstrates that a negative VZV direct immunofluorescence assay
does not exclude an infection with the vaccine strain,” wrote the authors in
their study abstract, which you can view here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23358727
Chicken pox vaccine prevents body from developing its own natural
immunity to shingles
Adults, and particularly those who have not yet had the chicken pox, are
said to be most prone to developing shingles, which is why the CDC and
others are urging individuals over age 50 to get a shingles vaccine. But
what this bloated bureaucracy is failing to disclose publicly is the fact
that the sudden uptick in shingles cases is directly associated with the
advent of the chicken
pox vaccine.
People who were vaccinated for chicken pox as children beginning in the
1990s are now eclipsing into adulthood. Many of these children have never
had the chicken pox, which means their bodies have never had the chance to
develop natural immunity to both future infection with chicken pox and
shingles. As a result, this chicken pox-vaccinated generation is not only
seeing an increase in shingles infections rates, but is also shedding the
virus onto others.
Back in 2005, Dr. Gary S. Goldman, Ph.D., the formed Editor-in-Chief of the
charity Medical Veritas, published a study in the International
Journal of Toxicology showing that even if the chicken pox vaccine did
eradicate chicken pox as claimed, it would induce a much more severe
shingles epidemic that would gradually build in intensity for up to 50
years. It now appears as though Dr. Goldman’s findings were, indeed,
correct.
