Recently I looked at the CDC white paper for the chicken pox vaccine: The efficacy is unknown, the risks are unknown, the expected "effective" time frame is no more than 10 years. The greatest risk from chicken pox was always when you get it as a late teen or young adult. The excuse for it has been partly to prevent shingles later in life, but there is no proof it does this. I wish I had known years ago how corrupt the CDC, FDA and vaccine business is and that the doctors are ignorant or bought.

I tell people this ALL the time. They don’t believe it. Vaccinating kids when I was a kid in the late 70s meant taking them, as toddlers or babies, to get infected at any kid’s house in the neighborhood who had it. The same would be safer and more effective for covid.

I'm old enough to have had chicken pox when I was 6 or 7. I never got it again, even when around my daughter and other kids who also got it in the 1970s. No one I know who actually had chicken pox seems to have had a problem, but I wonder what the results are for those who got vaccinated for it later on?

Those results are still pending. I'm at the age where people sometimes first present with shingles and they didn't have the vaccine when I was a kid. I had it as a senior in high school, but I had it relatively mild despite being older. Behind closed doors I'm sure a lot of their excuse for pushing vaccines is the false idea that it keeps schools from missing out on their funding. Easy fix for that, vouchers.
