This is a tangent, but I wonder if people know that recent research indicates the shingles vaccine might help prevent dementia. Here is output from Google AI:

"A study published in Nature suggests that the shingles vaccine may reduce the risk of developing dementia. Specifically, the study found that people who received the shingles vaccine were 20% less likely to develop dementia of any type than those who did not. This protective effect was stronger in women than men. A study in JAMA also found that those eligible for the shingles vaccine were 38% less likely to die of dementia than those who were ineligible.

I’m not sure on this. The first vaccine for shingles was taken off market. And the one now has not been around that long. I’m just overly cautious since the Covid shot has done a lot of harm and not convinced that it has prevented this flu. People get the shots and still get Covid. Go figure.
