A must-read about the data showing vaccinations for older Americans reduces #dementia risk -- or why NOT to listen to a word #RFK says.

"In 21 studies involving more than 104 million participants in Europe, Asia & North America, vaccination against shingles was associated with a 24% reduction in the risk of developing dementia. Flu vaccination was linked to a 13% reduction. Those vaccinated for pneumococcal infection had a 36% reduction in #Alzheimer’s risk."
