This is why a growing number of doctors are against artificially introducing VZV Live (VZL) into the bloodstream via chickenpox vaccines. We haven't reduced chickenpox as a result, but only maintained or even increased it ... plus, we're seeing far more and more Shingles outbreaks at a younger and younger age. The CDC keeps making excuses for the increased statistics, but it tracks 1:1 with increases in VZL innoculations.
If you don't have VZV in your system, you cannot have a Shingles outbreak. This is what people don't understand about viruses and vaccines ... they do not all work the same!
E.g., I don't have VZV in my bloodstream, so it's impossible for me to have this syndrome ... or Shingles for that matter! I would have to be infected with chickenpox first, and that has not happened in 50 years ... despite multiple exposures.
And despite what Beiber says, yes, some paralysis is permanent in may cases!
My family, both sides, are heavily suseptible to Shingles as a result of both having VZV (chickenpox) early in life. My brother as well. Their half-Irish backgrounds have a gene that is extremely dehabilitating from VZV as they age.
E.g., My mother has a Shingles outbreak after every vaccine that hits her immune system hard. My father developed Bell's Palsey after an outbreak in his late 50s, but luckily it didn't progress to what Bieber has, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Not every Bell's Palsey progresses to Ramsay Hunt, but virtually all Ramsay Hunt are worst forms of Bell's, many permanent loss of motor.
This is why I refuse to have VZV artificially introduced into my system via the Chickpox or, now at my age, Shingles vaccine. No one can 'give' anyone else Shingles either, so people stop with the 'herd immunity' BS that doesn't apply. Many researchers have gone through the statistics on this, and have been raising the flags for some time.
In fact, people who have no VZV in their system have no chance to spread it, and don't spread it like people who do have VZV in their system, and have Shingles outbreaks. They would have to have a reduce immune system to catch it in the first place.
I.e., if I artificially introduce VZV via vaccination, with my genetics, any time I get sick enough my immunesystem is reduced, I would likely break out and spread VZV far more than any chance of getting it natural.
Now that said ... if I ever do manage to naturally get VZV in my bloodstream, I will get regular Shingles vaccines. But until I have VZV in my system, it's stupid to do so ... although they do have some newer dead VZV options for the elderly that don't introduce VZV into the blood stream.
But VZL was always a mistake, and many researchers now agree. But we're still giving it to kids and adults, instead of dead VZV options.
