Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 The Chicken Pox vaccine (Varivax) is a weakened but living version of the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). At least we know that it's weakened in the SHORT RUN of about 10-20 years. However, what we DON'T know is if the Varivax virus becomes dormant after you get the vaccine as with the VZV. And if it DOES become latent, could shingles you might get later be much worse than the typical shingles? Also, wouldn't harboring a latent virus in your body for extended periods put you at risk for other illnesses later on, like cancer maybe? Essentially, we are going to have to wait until there are people alive who received the Varivax 50 or 60 years ago to find out the answers to these questions. The Varivax is nothing more than a 'leap of faith" at best. Even if Varivax turns out to prevent Chicken Pox now, it may still cause cancer or some kind of "super shingles" later, and we probably won't be in a position to deal with that when the time comes. Not a chance I'd want to take. My father got "regular" shingles, and treated it successfully with alternative therapies which lessened the pain and sped healing. It is harmless and self limiting in non-immunocompromised people.On May 11, 2007, at 3:03 PM, Guzenda wrote: I never got chicken pox as a kid, so I was vax as an adult.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 All, Of you want to know the truth about Varivax, chicken pox, shingles, Zostavax and the non-cost-effective and non-effective US national vaccination program, you all should read the articles written by Dr. S. Goldman who was forced to resign his contract position for the US CDC-funded " chicken pox " surveilance program in Anrelope Valley, CA so that he could publish these truths. Based on his scientifically sound findings, the national vaccine program for the herpes simplex varicella zoster virus is not only NOT cost effective; it does more harm than good and, because it gives everyone vaccinated incomplete immunity to the disease, actually increases the risk of harm and the number seriously harmed by the recurrence of the virus as shingles. The only real beneficiary is the vaccine manufacturer, Merck who is allowed to make an sell these ultimately worse-than-no-vaccine vaccines knowing that the taxpayers, and not Merck (who is indemnified by the NVICA from being directly sued) will pay for the harm caused by this scientifically wrong-headed vaccination program designed for a disease, chicken pox, that is NOT life threatening and INITIALLY justified based on what amounts to the vacccine makers projections of " cost savings " for a single dose vaccine that would provide " life long " protection and would have no significant adverse effects -- both of which were NOT true. Now, the governmentr and Merck are pushing a booster dose of Varivax (or more) and, when we are old, Zostavax (1 dose now and more? in the future. Based on the demonstrated need for at least one booster dose, the observed cases of severe adverse effects including death, and the need for Zostavax for shingles, it should be obvious to anyone that this vaccine programs is NEITHER cost effective NOR " life long " protective. Yet, rather than admit the truth the CDC ignires the vaccine's ineffectiveness, harm and costs and continmues to push the program NOT because it benefits the people but because it benefits the CDC, NIH, Merck and the pediatricians who derive income from both giving the vaccine doses and then treating those whose health is adversely impacted. Hopefully, after reading the truth about the mildness of chicken pox and the facts about universal vaccination, all will reach conclusions similar to those voiced here for the vaccines purported to " protect " us from the risk of getting chicken pox and, more recently, shingles with lottle or no regard to the factual reality that vaccinating a person with Varivax or Zostavax " gives " the person vaccinated live varicella zoster virus particles in a manner that, at best, confers incomplete immunity. ******************************************* *The information provided in this email * *is just that -- information. * *It is not medical advice and it does not * *require any specific action or actions. * * * *While the information is thought to be * *accurate, no representation is made as * *to the accuracy of the information posted* *other than it is my best understanding of* *the facts on the date that this email is * *posted. * * * *Everyone should verify the accuracy of * *the information provided for themselves * *before acting on it. * ******************************************* Respectfully, Dr. King http://www.dr-king.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ of At 15:35 5/11/07 -0700, cathylynn2 wrote: > >The Chicken Pox vaccine (Varivax) is a >weakened but living version of the >Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV).

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 you cannot get shingles unless you have had the chicken pox. Altho I don't know how this might affect an adult who had the chicken pox vaccine. Maurine Guzenda <hguzenda@...> wrote: I was exposed to chicken pox as a kid and I'm 35 now. My brother got it, but neither my sister nor I did. My sister tested immune to the virus, but I did not. That's why I got the vaccine. With two small children, it's highly likely that I will be exposed to chicken pox and I didn't want to get shingles and be unable to care for them while they were sick. We'll see. I haven't done nearly the research you all have on it. I'm not vaccinating either of my kids now, at least not until they are older.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well in 's defense, chickenpox at an older age is pretty miserable. I didn't get them until I was 13 and I was soooo sick, and just covered with pox. I wouldn't vax against it, but I can kind of understand where she's coming from.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 AI am not criticizing heather, not defending her. I am only correcting her misconception on how one can get the shingles. Whether she chooses to vaccinate herself or not is her business. MaurineKim <delicateflower_kk@...> wrote: Well in 's defense, chickenpox at an olderage is pretty miserable.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I posted what happen on Lynn’s show today not even remotely for the chicken pox part but the part where the Dr. who called in said “Yes, MMR may cause autism….But what’s 1 or 2 children with autism compared to the disease (meaning measles, mumps, rubella)as an epidemic”…..This Dr. was calling our children small casualties of necessity. Didn’t anyone else get as upset at that statement as I did???? - Kim <delicateflower_kk > wrote: Well in 's defense, chickenpox at an older age is pretty miserable.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 If you want to participate in a lifelong biological experiment, no one should be able to stop you- provided that you are fully informed- with honestly presented valid information. That's a huge proviso. It is when the fascists force these experiments on you, in violation of international protocol and ethics rules, where the battle begins and where we must draw the line. We will choose our healthcare- we will not have it rammed down our throat. Not only because it is a violation of international medical ethics rules to do the same- but because by allowing those in the medical professions and health industries to have a monopoly with no liability that you get the slop that passes for healthcare. There must be a yang to every yin. Otherwise you have no counterbalance to the pushing of vaccines and other medical care. Without any downside in the form of liability. And it can only get worse from here without the yang. The experiments will just get more egregious without requiring consent. Let the yang help you.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Would it be more health conscious to simply have the pediatricians shutter their offices and leave everyone alone?
