"Yet, it's important to remember that Lyme disease is just a common,
irritating bacterial infection that is non-fatal, non-communicable,
antibiotic-responsive, and geographically- and seasonally- limited in
scope. It isn't HIV or SARS or H5N1 or XDR-TB or hepatitis C. It is the
rash on my son's legs that disappeared with eight dollars worth of
doxycycline. It is the infection my lawn care businessman friend gets so
often he should be immune to tick bites by now. It is why I would have
been a lousy addition to this science fiction flick about ravenous
ticks, epidemic disease, and indifferent medicine."

Yes, well, in that case, it hardly seems worthwhile to try to develop
a vaccine against it, doesn't it?

I mean, given the relatively benign description above, why would
anyone think a vaccine would be necessary?

What an idiot.

Golly, I wonder who this gifted microbiologist blogger is? And
HadLyme is a wicked good pun..I can't stop chuckling.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah...personally, I like the heading, part about how "I could have
been in pictures".

Yeah, probably something you wouldn't take your kids to see,
though..."Hot Coffee Boy of NIH"..."he delivers it up hot and
steaming"...he would have asked why they needed the vaccine...but it
is so hard to talk with your mouth full of "private enterprise".

LMAO.
