Let’s be real here. Do we really need a vaccine for this? An estimated 200k people get this per year. It is almost never fatal. People can go years without even knowing or being diagnosed with Lyme disease.
I am not anti-vax, but A LOT of people clearly are. Maybe we should spend more time focusing on treatment or symptom reduction for those afflicted than vaccines and prevention for all people over non life threatening diseases.
I hope you’ll get Lyme disease. Don’t worry, it’s not that bad after all.
Is your stance really to go all in on treatment over prevention?
Not for all ailments, but for this yes.
I recommend checking out the CDC information or numerous other studies on Lyme disease and taking your own position rather than blindly excepting a random article on social media as truth and the only acceptable opinion.
The fact that they put effort into making a vaccine makes it pretty clear what the medical community’s position is.
Well, yes and and no. If the medical community was free to choose and not utterly dependant on financing from pharmaceutical and other companies, there’d be a ton more vaccines and medications available already. This stuff is really going downhill since the 80s.
