Israeli scientists announce yet another COVID-19 vaccine side effect: herpes zoster
Article excerpt: “ ... Blood clots are rightfully one of the more attention-grabbing side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, but Israeli scientists are also warning about another potential side effect: herpes infections.
A study that appeared in the Rheumatology journal notes that scientists there have identified six cases of patients developing the herpes zoster skin rash after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and other cases have since come to light.
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, begins as an itchy skin rash with small red bumps, and it can lead to pain and nerve damage if left untreated. It also causes a prolonged burning sensation on the skin that can last long after the rash has disappeared..,, ... The study’s lead researcher, Dr. Victoria Furer, told the Jerusalem Post that after the study was published on April 12, she received emails from patients all over the world reporting that they had also developed herpes zoster after getting the vaccine.
Because immunosuppressed individuals were not allowed to participate in initial clinical trials, it is possible that more cases of herpes zoster and other side effects could begin emerging as many countries’ vaccine efforts continue and people with a range of conditions experience reactions...”
Oh good grief, not only is it an experimental gene therapy, it now enhances and wakes-up other dormant viruses in the body.
We seem to be moving from one nightmare to the next.

For those 50 and older who had Chicken Pox, it can often resurface as "Shingles"
Taking lysine on a daily basis will help keep it at bay, but if it returns, see a physician for known safe anti-viral meds.
See the abstract for the study:

The rest is a little worrisome. Shingles is a different virus. Perhaps the vaccine enabled a susceptibility due to pushing the immune system in another direction. The vaccine itself can not "cause" shingles.

I would also note that the government has altered definitions at will, so the author citing the CDC, et al to try to include these gene therapy treatments as vaccines is a fallacy of self-reference. I note that the CDC just prior to the COVID outbreak revised the definition of "pandemic" to be based on infections rather than fatality rate as had been the norm for decades. I note that the CDC revised their instructions to coroners in order to inflate the COVID death counts.
If you want to call them vaccines you go right ahead. I'm going to call them what they are: gene therapy treatments which are more dangerous than the real virus.
Do either one of them alter ones DNA at all? No
So...No
Also, I would be very careful about arguing that a virus neither alters DNA nor acts as gene therapy. There is no question that a virus injects its own RNA into a body's cell so that the body's own pre-programmed mechanisms for replicating RNA are triggered. That sounds pretty much like gene therapy to me. And inasmuch as the body's own DNA is subverted to the invading RNA replication process, one can argue that this subversion effectively replaces the cell's own governing DNA with the virus'. I don't think either of your arguments is nearly as sound as they are being portrayed.
If viruses naturally and aggressively perform "x", it is not reasonable to get wound up about our version of "x". If you want to say "x" is "gene therapy", that is your choice. When communicating with others, it will be very much like using the term "ketchup" to describe Tabasco. Only other people that think Tabasco is a form of ketchup will get it. The rest will think you are unhinged, and treat the rest of what you say accordingly.
You may not care. You may not be seeking to change other's minds. I am in a different place.
Those side-effects are NOT being disclosed to the public in good faith. Having been a student of marketing and an IT professional who's dealt with unscrupulous contractors, I have a tendency to look past the hype to focus on how something actually functions. Is the goal of immunity to a particular pathogen a compelling interest? Surely that we can agree on. The remaining question centers around how we achieve that immunity. I, however, am decidedly suspect of something where the cure seems to be as bad as the disease.
Are you aware of the mechanisms of the body used in stopping a virus? There are two attacks and both must function properly to defeat a viral infection. The first is to surround the virus itself with antibodies secreted by the immune system. Then the white blood cells (phagocytes) gobble them up and destroy them or haul them to the excretory system (obviously on a large scale). The second attack is to destroy the infested cells which are producing viral content. Certain white blood cells go around placing markers on cells indicating they have been compromised. Then other white blood cell effectively poison the marked cell, destroy it, and haul off the remains.
Once a cell has been compromised by a virus, however, it is no longer a productive part of the body. It is no longer "human." It is a virally-controlled entity - regardless its original DNA. The virus doesn't have to alter the DNA itself to fundamentally destroy normal cell function. And if enough viral alteration happens, the body is overwhelmed and dies - the "human" succumbing to the virus.
(An autoimmune disease such as Type I Diabetes, Hashimoto's, certain forms of arthritis, etc. occur when the body's own white blood cells mistakenly target normal/healthy cells for destruction. I am intimately acquainted with all three conditions.)
