This is beyond insane. Besides all the usual reasons, the shingles vaccine was recently demonstrated to be the single most effective deterrent to Alzheimer’s and dementia, reducing the risk by something like 20%. I can’t believe that an older MAGA would be any more excited about getting dementia than a normal person.

Attacking dementia is an attack on our president.

Such entities may quietly make use of the science themselves, these actions seek to undermine alternative authorities and sow discord.

I’m not trying to dig through enshittified google for straight up research articles. I can’t share my access to other sources anyway. But the latest shingles vaccine is more effective than what your grandparents received. And look, a Canada source instead of a MAGA tainted one.

We already knew they were safe. The studies found they were beneficial

The idiots in your government! If they wanted to hide it they should have stayed silent. Idiots announced it so now people will go look for it.
