Finally, Some Good News in the Fight Against Lyme Disease
Scientists found that the experimental vaccine was more than 70% effective at preventing Lyme disease in a trial of nearly 10,000 volunteers.
When a Lyme-carrying tick slurps up blood from a vaccinated person, these anti-OspA antibodies are also ingested. And once inside the tick’s gut, the antibodies are intended to bind to the bacteria and prevent them, from leaving the tick at all, thus preventing infection.
Based on the trial’s primary endpoint, the vaccine’s potential effectiveness ranged from 15.8% to 93.5%, which was below the 20% lower bound that the companies had set as a goal.
Notably, in a separate analysis of the data, the vaccine did surpass the 20% lower range (the 95% confidence interval was between 21.7% and 93.9%).

"CIA accused of secret bioweapon experiments linked to major outbreak in its own people
A biochemist has claimed to have found evidence that the modern Lyme outbreak in the US could have been the result of CIA bioweapon experiments.
Dr Robert Malone, who helped lay the groundwork for mRNA vaccine technology, made the explosive allegations this week after analyzing declassified government documents, historical records from Cold War biological weapons programs and scientific research on tick-borne diseases.
Malone highlighted experiments in the 1960s that allegedly released more than 282,000 radioactive ticks in Virginia and open-air tick research at Plum Island, a federal laboratory located near the Connecticut community where Lyme disease was first identified."
