The new "cart before the horse” Lyme vaccine--- coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Funny how they can develop a vaccine without first having an accurate test to determine who has or doesn’t have the disease.
Anyone betting on what hits the market first- the new IDSA/CDC Lyme guidelines or the new IDSA/CDC Lyme vaccine?
Seems some races are ready to accept and get another vaccine, but they need whites and blacks to be convinced to get it too**. Helps marketing strategies/profits that way.
Oh, and they want to convince people vaccines are safe so more people will get it.
So brain washing experts come forward and speak now! GEEZE!
Intentions to receive a potentially available Lyme disease vaccine in an urban sample.

Abstract OBJECTIVES:
The only human Lyme disease vaccine of LYMErix was voluntarily removed from the market in the United States in 2002 for a number of reasons. A new human Lyme disease vaccine is currently being developed.
We would like any future approved human Lyme disease vaccine to be of interest and marketable to consumers.
METHODS:
We surveyed 714 participants to determine variables associated with intentions to receive a Lyme disease vaccine.
Predictor variables included demographics, protection motivational theory, Lyme disease knowledge, Lyme disease preventive behaviors, beliefs and perceived health.
RESULTS:
We found in multivariate linear regression analyses that Asian/Asian American race/ethnicity !!, South Asian race/ethnicity !! and coping appraisal variables of response efficacy !! and self-efficacy !! were each significantly associated with increased intentions.
The belief that vaccines are typically not safe was significantly associated with decreased intentions (p = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS:
Asian/Asian American and South Asian race/ethnicities have a strong interest in receiving a Lyme disease vaccine.
Although pharmaceutical companies may benefit by advertising a Lyme disease vaccine to Asian/Asian Americans and South Asians, marketers need to address and use approaches to interest those from other race/ethnicities.
Also, marketers need to address the erroneous belief that vaccines are typically not safe in order to interest those with such beliefs to use a Lyme disease vaccine.

Big pharma doing research to see who their target audience needs to be, how to reach them, and how to reach people not as interested in the vaccine. $$$$
Let the spin doctors begin . . . I mean, continue.

And if Lyme disease is "so easy to cure" with a " short-term course of antibiotics," why is there such a need for the vaccine? $$
And what constitutes "educated about Lyme disease" in this article? Educated by whose standards? ILADS or CDC and IDSA? If I had money to bet, this would be an easy bet for me.

"The only human Lyme disease vaccine of LYMErix was voluntarily removed from the market in the United States in 2002 for a number of reasons."
Maybe it's because the main reason was that the vaccine harmed and irreversibly damaged tons of recipients' lives before the manufacturer was sued and it was pulled from market for "lack of money earning potential".
"Also, marketers need to address the erroneous belief that vaccines are typically not safe in order to interest those with such beliefs to use a Lyme disease vaccine." This sentence rubs me the wrong way. Of course we are skeptical, after what happened with the last vaccine, why would we risk feeling worse the rest of our lives?
Sorry about ranting, this just pisses me off.
