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.

Detection and treatment of Lyme is notoriously difficult. Why would you not prefer a preventive solution?
Bc despite their claim, op is antivax. There’s no other explanation
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the saying goes.
The fact that they put effort into making a vaccine makes it pretty clear what the medical community’s position is.
People often forget what the medical research and medical authorities say are not always the same.
See heart disease for another one of these fun ones.
I see the points you’re making.
I still disagree with your position.
If the vast majority of people also disagree with you, would you still hold your position on this?
I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.
Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.
I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.
Actually here is the cdc saying 476k
https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/humancases.html#:~:text=Q%3A CDC also states that,is this number so different%3F
Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.
