Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks
(www.newsweek.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
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.
Detection and treatment of Lyme is notoriously difficult. Why would you not prefer a preventive solution?
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the saying goes.
Bc despite their claim, op is antivax. There's no other explanation
Watching anti-science folks here get downvoted to oblivion feels good![Gandalf gif where he tells the Barlog to go back to the shadows.](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/040d49f8-3905-44e4-9a9e-13e4549d9cf6.gif)
