No the original vaccine isn't coming back but I guess Valneva is working on a new one, sadly it's five years away.

Is anyone as excited as I was when I heard about this?

Only if you live in an area where Lyme disease is endemic. So most people won't care.

Thanks for this clue. I read the OP and was thinking "what in the world is a lymerix?" I've never heard of this, and had no idea there was ever a vaccine for lyme disease.
 
This is likely to get the folks in the northeast and Great Lakes states excited. California? Not so much...

You can add Lymerix to the other vaccines that should've never been approved by the FDA in the first place such as Rotashield. And yet pharmacists on this site continue to stand strongly behind the FDA and CDC. Sadly most of us are now glorified pharmaceutical reps. You can't rely on pharmacists to perform due diligence on new meds or vaccines. Most of us just give the rubber stamp of approval.

Can you find some of the data and do a journal-club style breakdown for us?

I want to learn from you

You do know it was concluded that there was nothing wrong with Lymerix right?

I just love how you'd rather not protect people if it meant big pharma making money.

Ask all the people suffering from the consequences of lyme disease what matters more to them.

Like always you'll never respond about the people who suffer. You come here say the same crap then flee when people respond to you.

The new vaccine is on fast track but will unfortunately still take years.

You don't think of all the people harmed by vaccines that are unnecessary or lack efficacy. Who speaks for them?
I'm thankful it will take years. Maybe they will get it right this time.
The vaccine may have not been harmful according to the company's lawyers but it had low efficacy which would've required yearly boosters. Once again it should've never been approved.

The people harmed?
That's a juicy statistic to flippantly reference and make the implication that it's valid.
What's the NNH?

Who exactly is harmed, give me statistically significant numbers please

Oh wait you can't, it's just so sad that you don't care about all the people that currently or would suffer without these vaccines.

Since you answered once, which vaccines are legit?
 
Unchained, everything we do in life is full of risks. We could all die today driving to work. Yes, all of us will still go to work today, because we recognize the benefits of working, far, far, far outweigh the small risk of driving to work.

Likewise with vaccines. Take Measles for example, in 3rd world countries risk of death after catching it is 30%. While the risk of death is (thankfully) lower in countries with modern medicine, their is still the real risk of permanent neurological damage. The protective benefits of the vaccine, far, far, far outweigh the risks of adverse reactions to the vaccine.
