So here's the thing...I'm sure plenty of us here had plain old chickenpox as kids as there was no vaccine. Along comes chickenpox vaccine and then there's an uptick of shingles. Shingles is a cousin of chickenpox. (Now there's a vaxx for that, so I wonder what will pop up in the future?)

I was researching something Covid related a year ago, (you know the time frame-early on.) Some here know well that I am a rabid link follower to the truth, which isn't always what a headline portrays.

Anyway, I digress... I did find a couple of articles from docs who stated that chickenpox vaccine was only invented for a relatively small amount of parents who did not want to be inconvenienced for a couple days at home with a kid. Chickenpox is a relatively minor illness. Why do we need a vaccine for this? The rates of illness and severity is much less than that of Covid...

Sorry, if I kept every article (I know now I should have) I would have overloaded a few hard drives...You can look it up
