As someone who's had an attack of shingles, saying that chicken pox isn't serious, is bullshit.

- ceejayoz 12y agoIt can be very serious, yes. For most, it's not, and anti-vaxxers seem to consider their own lived experiences to be better evidence than stats like "thousands die from flu every year". I have a medically sensitive daughter and the folks who go "flu's not that bad, just get it and move on" drive me insane.
- seanflyon 12y ago"somewhat true" implies not entirely true. Iv'e had chicken pox. It wasn't serious, but as you point out, that's not the whole picture.
- seandhi 12y agoI hear you... I've been blessed with multiple recurrences of shingles within six months of one another. I'm one of the lucky recipients of that rarity.
