The comedy of clown world at its finest. I have shoulder surgery scheduled, so wife's brother offers to help out. Gets his Covid vax to be safe around my toddlers like an idiot. Within 2 days of arrival he's at the ER with huge pustules on neck and armpit. Turns out to be shingles.

My twin 16 month old daughters hadn't been vaccinated for Chicken pox as their scheduled 12-month doc visit was postponed to 18 months due to fake pandemic reasons.

Two weeks later and my shoulder is fine while both girls are covered in pox. Meanwhile, my wife's super fit and healthy 30 year old brother is suffering big time. He's been to the ER twice this week, and now might have spinal meningitis.

A shot to boost immune system apparently weakens it to the point of reactivating harmless viruses. My 70-year old mother got her vax as well due to asthma.... Now she's got slime coming out of her lungs and is terrified.

Just FYI in case any of you were even considering this shot.

Bigger question: who gets a vaccine for chicken pox? I thought you just get chicken pox, no big deal.

chicken pox vax is bullshit. i got the vac as a kid, then later got the pox from the other kids anyways, then as an adult it woke up as shingles and ruined a month of my life with the most intense face pain I've felt in my life.

Depending on how old your niece is she probably has had it. Like you, I just got chicken pox as a kid (at a pox party). These days if you don't get vaccinated you can't send your kid to school or daycare in Aus at least. It's fucking tyrannical.

I've just spent a week at home with my 3 year old who got hand, foot and mouth disease. Which to me seems fairly similar in severity to chicken pox as a kid. It's highly contagious but benign other than some blister like sores in hands, feet, mouth. This disease is rampant in childcare but no one is too concerned about it. If your kid had chicken pox though, it would be done sorry of fucking national emergency. Just more irrational fear.

My missus caught it too (I didn't). Not particularly pleasant for an adult, definitely worse than the toddler version.
