#3This is desperately needed. I have Midwest family who have suffered ten years due to persistent lyme disease from having a single tick bite.

#4Wasn’t there a new Lyme’s vaccine in the works due to come out soon? Anyone aware of how that’s going?

#5I thought that there are approved human vaccines, but they were voluntarily removed due to economic reasons and lack of adoption.

The one I heard about is supposed to be an antibody injection.

#7It is kinda funny that humanity can kills entire species like the dodo while cannot eradicate a bacterium like Borrelia.

There was, withdrawn in 2002. Protection wanes so even if you were one of the few who got it then you have no protection today. There are a couple new vaccines in the works, one in phase 3 testing so hopefully we get something in a few years.

In clinical trials - the one I was able to find has the first report due end of 2026, with the final end of 2027. I assume 6 months or a year after that to do paperwork before approval so I'm guessing late 2028 before we get it (assuming it passes trial, which isn't a given)

#10Bypassing the clickbait we have this:
In two new studies led by bacteriologist Brandon L. Jutras, Northwestern scientists have identified an antibiotic that cures Lyme disease at a fraction of the dosage of the current “gold standard” treatment and discovered what may cause a treated infection to mimic chronic illness in patients. The studies were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
