Shingles is treatable if you get to a doctor fast, iirc. Anyone waiting too long will not be treatable. I think the treatment is a short course of antiviral.
We possibly have a high death rate in our immune cells. This includes memory B cells, I think. So we could easily lose immunity over time, or fail to develop immunity from a vaccination.
I have had measles encephalitis. Getting measles twice, if it happens, needs to be watched carefully, and is a crisis if it goes to the brain. The death rate of measles encephalitis is about 50%, and 25% more get brain damage, and I am not convinced the remaining quarter get away from consequences.
