As the article says:
It is unclear how shingles vaccines might protect against dementia, but one theory is that they reduce inflammation in the nervous system by preventing reactivation of the virus. Another theory is that the vaccines induce broader changes in the immune system that are protective. These wider effects are seen more often in women, potentially explaining the sex differences in the study.

A VW Polo where every part - doors, bonnet, roof etc - is a different primary colour.

I saw this memorial bench in a churchyard yesterday and can't stop thinking about it. What an incredible century to have lived through.
