Eine Demenzimpfung könnte real sein, und einige von uns haben sie ohne es zu wissen eingenommen. Eine neue Studie mit mehr als 280.000 Erwachsenen in Wales zeigt, dass eine Impfung gegen Gürtelrose Ihr Demenzrisiko um 20 % senken oder das Fortschreiten der Krankheit verlangsamen könnte, wenn Sie erst einmal daran erkrankt sind.

From the linked article:

**A dementia vaccine could be real, and some of us have taken it without knowing**

Getting vaccinated against shingles could protect you from getting dementia, or slow the progression of the disease, says a new study

**A shingles vaccine could reduce your risk of dementia by 20 per cent or slow the progression of the disease once you’ve got it**, according to recent research led by Stanford University, in the US.

In a study published in Nature, the scientists analysed the health records of more than **280,000 adults in Wales** between the ages of 71 and 88 years old. They were aiming to understand the effects of a shingles vaccination programme that began in 2013.

They found that older adults (aged 79–80) who had received the shingles vaccine were 20 per cent less likely to develop dementia by 2020, compared to those who hadn’t been eligible to receive it.

Senior author Dr Pascal Geldsetzer, assistant professor of medicine at Stanford, said this was “a really striking finding,” adding: “This huge protective signal was there, any which way you looked at the data.”

What’s more, in a **recent follow-up study published in Cell**, the same scientists discovered that the shingles vaccine seemed to have a protective effect even among those who’d already been diagnosed with dementia by 2013.

Of the 7,049 Welsh adults included in the study who had dementia, nearly half had died within the following nine years. But among those who had received the shingles vaccine, only 30 per cent had died.

And the eligibility criteria were not an influencing factor?

No vaccines until the pedo regime leaves.
