Lawsuit news: update on “adverse reactions to shingles vaccine”
Readers affected by the shingles vaccine, or who have heard of it, will be interested in my post at https://canadianliberty.com/?p=1134: “Adverse reactions to shingles vaccine”, especially the comments from readers:
I added the following in a comment to the original post. I recommend you add comments to the original post in order to reach the most readers:
Thanks for all the comments with info which I’m sure readers appreciate.
On the subject of class action lawsuits, there has been news this year in the States. I’ve listed some links below.
Please add comments if you know about any results.
You’ll see from the articles below why it’s confusing.
To me, depending on your resources, it makes sense for anyone affected to explore legal options–whether a vaccine is for adults as with this one, or for children, whether within the system that protects manufacturers or outside of the system.
The shingles vaccine is an adult vaccine so the manufacturer is supposedly not protected as in the case with childhood vaccines (but I included a 2011 Supreme Court decision that someone used to try to claim otherwise—-but maybe they’re incorrect as others disagree and maybe it shouldn’t stop people anyway).
I don’t know if anything is happening in Canada – let me know if you have updates about Canada (about this or other vaccines)- or any positive results from the lawsuits in the United States or other countries.
If you have info on the special vaccine courts or results from using official vaccine adverse effects reporting systems, you’re welcome to provide that too in the comments.
Why don’t people with the capacity to do so just go ahead and test the legal system on their own? That’s my thought on that for what it’s worth. The situation may vary in each country as far as childhood vaccines or adult vaccines.
Maybe whatever laws have been passed to protect companies against lawsuits could be challenged constitutionally.
And maybe there are other avenues–people should try to appeal to political representatives and especially I think using formal channels such as petitions. And they should complain to the Canadian media who actively promotes–advertises–not objectively–the shingles vaccine. And people should consider affidavits and criminal charges in my opinion also–contacting prosecutors/crown attorneys/police –why not–if they feel they have the resources?
And of course we feel intimidated and lacking in time and energy and money so it’s not about judging anyone. But those who can do something should think about what they can do — without waiting for “class action” necessarily. “Class action” sounds good, and might be the best thing for many, but maybe waiting for others just causes more delay?
Here are some related articles to inform readers about what has been happening in the U.S. Sorry I haven’t been keeping track. Others are welcome to provide updates.

Been 2 years since I filed. Have not heard anything. Nothing.
Hello!
Yes, I’m looking what you can do in Canada about this. I got the vaccine and since than, my health is deteriorating. Joints pain, offul headache, my thyroid is missfunctioning. I’ve been hypo thyroid and suddenly I developed Hashimoto autoimmune disease. My eyes are sufffering too. So, please let me know if you know anything about health Canada reaction to this. Thank you warmly, viera pavuk
I’m sorry to hear about that, Viera. Others have commented in the linked article at the top of this post – there are a lot of comments in that article from readers. I don’t know what Health Canada has said, if anything. It may be worthwhile if someone could follow up with a letter to them about their experiences.
I have experienced much the same as Viera,I am 57 and my body feels 80.I have had 3 smaller outbreaks since I had this shot and am not impressed.I have headaches constantly,major pain in my shoulders,knee’s,ankles and hips.I have no idea what to do does anyone know of a canadian firm that may be able to help me.
I think you are asking about legal action, but if you’re also interested in looking into addressing symptoms, there is a possibility mentioned at this link I recommend looking into – here: https://canadianliberty.com/?p=1134 – see the comments section and maybe read through them. But the suggestion I made was this:
“Ask a naturopathic doctor about this quote on p. 94 of “Orthomolecular Medicine for Everyone” by Abram Hoffer and Andrew W. Saul: “Shingles also responds to high doses of vitamin C.” ” I think this is relevant because maybe the symptoms are due to internal shingles, but I don’t know. Naturopaths might be helpful anyway. If anyone has a positive experience with some treatment like this, please add a comment.
Or if anyone has discussed this issue with a lawyer in Canada, or has had any feedback from a government agency, please add a comment.
Educate before you Vaccinate. Here is a comprehensive guide to the dangers of vaccine.
“Ignorance is not bliss. It is how we are all being used and abused”.
In The Age of Information,….Ignorance is a Choice. Medical doctors and PhD scientists who explain clearly why vaccines are not safe or effective.

“There is no profit in a one time cure”
Here is some hard truth most will have a hard time to swallow, but it is the truth. You will never see a cure from big pharma as it would put them out business. “There is no profit in a one time cure”. What they have is called managed medicine where people are put on pills for life or CASH for life for them.
We allow people to suffer and die for jobs and profits

Got the Zostavax vaccine in 2014 and within two weeks had SSHL…Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss .Experienced severe vertigo and balance problems , ringing in left ear which is permanent and causes mental and emotional distress because it is there all the time . Would like to find a law firm in Canada with preference for one from Nova Scotia which deals with this issue . Tough time finding Canadian information . Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated
I too would like to find a Canadian Lawyer who is filing a class action suit for the vaccine Zostavax. My husband in 2014 took the shot 2 weeks later he was so ill for about a week and a half. Over the next several months his memory and personality changed drastically he ended up going to see a doctor as he at one point had complete memory lost. The test they ran said he was over worked, and needed more sleep, he took it seriously and tried to improve those areas but the personality mood swings continued and was still forgetful, in 2017 he developed severe headaches and was hospitalized and they found a unexplained bleed on the brain and the development of CML ( form of Leukemia) He passed 12 days later. We never thought it could be the vaccine and after following the cases in the states I do believe this is what cause his death. I have tried reaching out to Lawyers who do class action but none are touching Zostavax, if some one has a lead on a lawyer please share.
