Lyme vaccines for veterinary use have been around for ages. Why has it taken so long for human Lyme vaccines?
There used to be a vaccine approved for human use, but it was discontinued because it wasn’t profitable.
Yay capitalism.
As my vet described it: stuff that can cause cancer on a 15-20 year timescale is a lot less of a big deal for dogs than it is people.
Yep it’s due to capitalism. It wasn’t profitable to develop treatments for ticks or even mites.
