Increasing evidence that vaccines can reduce the risk of developing dementia.

Apparently vaccines may prove more beneficial than providing protection from the virus they were designed for.
A prior study showed an association of getting the flu vaccine and reduced risk of dementia, as well as another showing a reduced risk from the Shingles vaccine.
Now another study shows the same reduced risk from the dpat vaccine (Diphtheria, Whooping cough, and Tetanus).
It seems to indicate that either the immune system in general is at least partly responsible for not clearing out the plaque that can develop in the brain, or the viruses are causing damage there.

They don't know if the vaccines stimulate the immune system to work more effectively, or if somehow it reduces inflammation that may cause the buildup of the tao proteins and plaque, or if the viruses themselves are causing damage in the brain. In any case, if they can determine how it is working, it may be possible in the future to develop a dementia vaccine.
It's still early, and much needs to be researched, but it could be a breakthrough for figuring out how to fight this plague for many of the elderly.

I believe it with dead virus vaccines, especially with the shingles vaccine. Blocking the shingles virus from replicating and damaging brain nerves, certainly could prevent dementia. I don't believe chemical vaccines would help, but rather do damage. I think the Covid vaccines were damaging to the brain. Only time will tell.
 
The most recent studies that come out anymore suggest such a hard to believe gap between cause and effect. How the hell do you even prove this?

I had a coworker once say that if you want to get people to believe what you're basically making up, just say that they did a study that proved it.

They have a hard time getting people vaccinated. With Covid they had to threaten people's jobs and restrict their social lives to get people to comply.

My father was never sick with the flu or anything else that they have vaccines for these days, yet by the time he was 90 he showed signs of dementia.

The body gets old and things stop working.
Thats why everybody dies.

I think dementia is more related to your environment. If your later years bring enjoyment and mentally stimulating experiences, you're less likely to develop dementia. How quickly do older people go on the decline after a spouse dies?

well in this case, OP isnt saying it or making it up - there is a study on this.

and yes your father had dementia without ever having a vaccine - obviously so did lots of people since dementia way pre dates any vaccines.

the study is not suggesting people do or don't get dementia if vaccinated or unvaccinated - only that it reduces risk, and it at this point, only relates to some vaccines, not all vaccines

How much by and how much of that is causation rather than correlation, - not sure.

but it was a big study, involving well over a million people, over a period of time

Incidentally I checked all the articles posters have linked - they are all about the same study - here is link to the actual study for anyone who wants to read it in its entirety: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/JAD-221231
 
I believe elderly need to stay focused. Youth usually are only thinking about themselves and one thing at a time.
Elderly tend to think about lots of stuff. Keep our Focus is a great point to keep.

I find this very interesting too. I don't worry about getting senile dementia because I've ordered a cardiac arrest for the last act of my life story.

However, I do keep up to date with my vaccination boosters, and I eat lots of chocolate, so I might just get what I want in the long run. ;)
 
Interesting and encouraging.

I believe that we will all develop some form of dementia and many other ailments if we live long enough.

I’m hoping that something takes me when I still have a relatively high quality of life.
