Aging and infectious diseases picked up years or decades ago are far more related than previously thought.

First was the Epstein-Barr virus and MS (multiple sclerosis):
"Longitudinal analysis reveals high prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus associated with multiple sclerosis", Bjornevik et al. 2022
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj8222

Now the shingles vaccine and its effect on dementia:
"The effect of shingles vaccination at different stages of the dementia disease course", Xie et al. 2025
https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)01256-5

One wonders what else, and why aren't we vaccinating against many more illnesses, in this age of potentially rapid development of mRNA vaccines.
