To be fair, that's on the saner side on the scale of antivaxers. As in if you don't want to put "very dangerous unknown substances" into your body but still be safe you need as many vaccinated people as possible.
Except it's their kids who are impacted are the ones we feel bad for, not them. (and I know their own kids could be considered as part of a Darwin award through a strict interpretation, but I'd rather not.)
I had my first shingles vaccine a little bit ago, will get my second shot next month. I am pretty tough and get vaccinated whenever I can or should, and never feel much other than a bit tired, but the shingles vaccine kicked my ass for about a week. But I'll still get the second shot next month because nothing is more painful than shingles, I'm told, and you can get them in your EYES.
Found out I also qualify for the RSV vaccine so I'll go get that this weekend as well as my 10th COVID shot, and a little later in the summer the pneumococcal vaccine, and I got a measles titer yesterday to see if I need that updated too. Y'all delulu antivaxxers aren't going to kill me.
Luckily I didn’t lose vision in the eye, but it did swell shut for a day or so. Overall the pain lasted about 10 days and the red itchy blisters about a month.
It is ABSOLUTE agony. Painful on the degree that birth is. My friend says her dad has broken a million bones and had cancer, and still says shingles is the worst pain he's felt.
