Unfortunately vaccine-denialists will say 'ah this person died from getting a vaccine, we shouldn't vaccinate anyone'. Even if the vaccine saves millions of lives.
Of course you can just say they didn't investigate it enough or whatever, you aren't trying to make a reasoned argument and thus don't need to exercise reason.
This exact pattern has been playing out with the COVID vaccine and the HPV vaccine. There are communities who are convinced that every medical problem they had since receiving the HPV vaccine is due to the vaccine, even though they’re all having different health problems that also occur in the overall population.
As I said, these are people who went to some effort to try a novel vaccine. If they do that, I think it's unlikely that they are anti-vaxxers. Presumably they'd also know - or would be told - that the vaccine can't be expected to work on any post-Lyme symptoms you already have.
Here is the link for all downvoters :-D

The Pfizer Lyme vaccine is in the Wikipedia article linked that you responded to, and the link there works whilst the link in the story you linked is dead.
Whilst it might be nice to remove some downvote privileges we could apply the rules we do have and not complain about downvotes.
To my view, your original comment was fine, but I could also see others wouldn't like it.
Yes, and thats interesting and allows for sure some question for why getting downvoted, when everything you do is pointing to an article on the same forum to adjacent topic .. and still get a punch :-D
