The CDC claims the varicella/chickenpox vaccine gives lifelong protection

This is a flat-out lie. The only studies falsely or accidentally claiming it did, were done in population where only a minority of children were injected, and thus kept getting periodic exposure to varicella, acting as a natural immunity stimulant.

Once the vast majority if kids are injected, there are fewer natural expositions, so longer periods without exposition, weakening the immune system's response to varicella, so when finally exposed, injected children develop the disease.

And no, you cannot wipe-out varicella. It is too common and adults can shed enough varicella ( shingles breaking out at skin surface is contagious ( you don't catch shingles from it, you get chickenpox. shingles is a flare-up of latent chickenpox crawlking up a nerve ) to give it to someone who dosen't have natural immunity.

Another big pharma scam with net negative consequences on a population level. At best, the varicella vaccine should have been reserved for immunologically-naive kids at actual risk of dying from the infection.
