Lyme disease is no joke man. You don't mess around with ticks.
I saw your comment and did a web search and the first hit was a US Centre for Disease Control page that says "A vaccine for Lyme disease is not currently available, the only vaccine previously marketed in the United States was discontinued by the manufacturer"
I'm more confused than ever. Can people stop vagueposting assuming everyone knows everything and just start saying what they mean?
There's a lot of misinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines in the USA in addition to the valid questions which are equally serious. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is currently run by an individual who has superstitions about them, and is actively dismantling the professional efforts which further vaccination. Even if there was a vaccine available on the medical market in the US, because that is what we have in this country, a market for medical care, it's not clear that it would be accessible to everybody or the people who need it. The reason for this is because Americans do not have universal healthcare, and in fact, the President has recently enacted a law that cuts public healthcare for many millions of Americans, which would provide such a vaccine.
So is GP just vaguely quipping about the cancellation of development of new vaccines? "Oh wait" makes it sound like we already had a vaccine for Lyme disease that is just not being used.
edit: and now this comment I'm replying to has gone gray. I'd love to see some commentary instead of just downvotes
Tick populations have exploded recently with our new warmer climates, and now a new vaccine is slated to enter the market in the next few years.
Unfortunately however the vaccine will not protect against lone star tick bites, which can make you allergic to red meat.
