I paid for my Shingrix shots myself a couple of years ago (I’m not 65 yet). One of the most important investments you could ever make. Kids vaccinated against chickenpox will never need this when they’re older. They’ll be far healthier. Whole generations of older folk were deliberately infected with viruses like this, when they were kids. It has killed vast numbers of them, with chronic diseases that look unrelated, caused by earlier infections. We’re infecting all kids, deliberately, with Covid. We’re unwinding all of our social progress. Social media replaced our societies, the social hierarchies of expertise that allowed them to progress. All replaced by a single measure - popularity. ‘Likes’.
