        It is beyond me to understand how people can be this obtuse. If you told this guy he had a flat tire, would he give it Vitamin C?

        IV Vitamin C, through the sidewall of course.

        What’s natural about sticking a need in your body and pumping your body full of synthetic “vitamins” ?

        OMG!!! 25g IV of ascorbic acid😳 If he thinks zoster is painful I'm guessing he's not going to enjoy the renal calculi!

        Is Vit C caustic to veins, like some medications are?

        Is he of the age it’s approved for? I am pro vaccine. And I am anti quackery. But the shingles vaccine isn’t approved for all ages. I’ve had shingles. I was too young (& still am) for my drug plan to cover the shingles vaccine. As soon as my plan covers it, I’ll get it.

        I realize not everyone can afford it without insurance and that's a while other big conversation, but he certainly could pay for it himself.
