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?

Not one concrete example?
