One data point in support... Or at least heading in that direction.
My mother.
Had c-pox as a kid, had shingles ~age 70, has no short-term memory at this 
point... Long term is
reasonably intact.

one data point:
I know someone who had shingles about 14 years ago, but he has not developed 
Alzheimer's.


Possibly a new method of detecting Alzheimer's:

Eye test that spots Alzheimer's 20 years before symptoms: Middle-aged could be 
screened at routine
optician's visit
