Lyme disease may soon be eradicated with the development of two new vaccines. Only one of them is for humans.

That dang Lyme disease may soon be a thing of the past:

A vaccine for Lyme disease is not currently available, but two scientific initiatives to fight the condition are showing promising results, with one soon to be rolled out.

Now, here's the interesting catch: One of the "vaccines" in question is not meant to be given to humans. Rather, it's meant to be given to the mice from which the ticks get Lyme:

Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that ticks are fond of yards, wooded areas and low-growing grasslands. Depending on the location, less than 1% to more than half of the ticks in the given area are carrying Lyme disease bacteria, which they contract via biting infected white-footed mice.

Memphis-based US Biologic aims to solve the epidemic by going straight to the source and vaccinating mice via food pellets, and studies have shown the method holds promise.

In one study, "oral vaccines deposited throughout 32 residential properties in Redding, Connecticut, led to a significant decrease in infected mice, falling 24% in one year." Big drop!

Mice eating those food pellets like:

At the other end of the species spectrum, "Pfizer and French biotech company Valneva have developed a vaccine candidate ... that's already in Phase 3 human trials, the CDC said."

Pfizer has announced that the human vax,

has demonstrated a strong immune response and satisfactory safety profile in pre-clinical and clinical studies so far.

In the past, people would have been lining up in droves to get this thing.

But now, just so you understand how badly the entire government and the Big Pharma establishment shot itself in the foot over its Covid response, the comments on this story are more or less this:

Welp.
