It does not appear to be the case that the previous 1998-2001 Lyme vaccine had the problem you claim:
> By 2001, with over 1·4 million Lyme vaccine doses distributed in the United States the VAERS database included 905 reports of mild self-limited reactions and 59 reports of arthritis associated with vaccination.
> The arthritis incidence in the patients receiving Lyme vaccine occurred at the same rate as the background in unvaccinated individuals. In addition, the data did not show a temporal spike in arthritis diagnoses after the second and third vaccine dose expected for an immune-mediated phenomenon.
> The FDA found no suggestion that the Lyme vaccine caused harm to its recipients.
Can you cite a specific incident of it giving someome Lyme disease?
Firstly, association is not causation ... of the 300+ million people within the USofA a great many have suffered haert attacks, fits, infection, and car accidents within mere days of having a hair cut.
Secondly .. so you do not have any specific instance of the event you claim as commonplace?
> Most viral vaccines actually infect you with the virus.
It is definitely not true that most vaccines infect you with the virus. Most vaccines do not use live viruses at all, and the ones that do are specifically modified to be extremely weak.
This particular Lyme vaccine, VLA15, is a recombinant protein vaccine. IIUC it is basically just a particular protein that your immune system can learn to recognize and attack.
The weak ones don't just eradicate, they hide dormant in the nerve cells. Your body produces antibodies which makes the blood titer close to 0. That doesn't mean you haven't been given a lifelong viral load that is now embedded in your ganglia.
This is the nature of viruses..like it or not.
And live vaccines are often used because they tend to be more effective.
To be clear, I am only talking about live vaccines. Protein/mRNA vaccines give you antibodies without the virus, and I have no qualms with them.
