        Read up on it. Same virus. When it's shingles, the virus attacks the nerve cells.

        Chickenpox and shingles are related. Haven't heard that pneumonia was related.

        Only that you MAY become more susceptible to both as you get older. If you contracted Chicken Pox as a kid (or if you were exposed to someone else) you likely carry the shingles virus in your body. As your immune system weakens (50's/60's+) shingles symptoms MAY emerge.

        That would be a different vaccine. Surprisingly it’s call the “shingles vaccine”.

        I've asked several doctors why Bush Sr got pneumonia if he had taken a vaccine (assuming he did). They all told me that is doesn't prevent it.

        Also give ur doctor some credit. We know big pharma and drug reps r trying to sell a product. So are car companies but that doesn't mean a car is a bad thing. A good doctor will try to read through the garbage and do what's best for the patient. Most of us avoid drug reps.

        Docs running their own PODs, are virtually all crooks. Most if not all running surgery centers are crooked. All pain docs I've met are corrupt. Around 80-90% of surgeons have some borderline side gig that's shady. The entire industry is corrupt top to bottom in every aspect. Sad.

        That's really unfair to a lot of good doctors that are struggling to make ends meet. There are also groups of doctors trying their best to make sure patients get the very best care and don't get taken by this push for mid level caregivers that are inadequately trained.

        I get it. It's as unfair as the system rigged against them. It's ridiculous that a doctor can not assess the value of his/her services and be reimbursed accordingly. Instead, we have one size fits some medical codes, palliative vs curative, long-term profitability vs care & cure

        Yes. The government is doing this. As a small business doc this is what I fight everyday. Just know there are good docs that don't care about codes we just do what's right for our patients first

        Not even the shingles vaccine prevents shingles. It *may* help to prevent shingles.
