A new study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine is reporting the development of a novel mRNA-based vaccine designed to help resist tick bites. Preclinical tests in guinea pigs indicate the vaccine aids the immune system in recognizing tick bites, resulting in the parasites being dislodged before they can transmit any pathogenic disease.
Over a dozen diseases can be transmitted by tick bites. The most well-known is Lyme disease, caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. In the past, vaccines have successfully been developed to specifically target this Lyme disease bacterium. However, this new vaccine candidate takes a different approach, using mRNA technology to target the tick itself.
The vaccine is based on the same mRNA technology that led to the extraordinarily successful rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines in 2020. But instead of directing cells in the body to produce spike proteins to train the body to attack SARS-CoV-2, this particular vaccine directs cells to produce a number of proteins found in the saliva of the black-legged tick Ixodes scapularis.
Dubbed 19ISP, the mRNA vaccine contains instructions for 19 different proteins found in the tick saliva. The preclinical research successfully demonstrated the mRNA vaccine on a number of guinea pigs.
“We found that guinea pigs vaccinated with 19ISP developed skin redness after they were bitten, indicating that their immune system was activated and recruited inflammatory cells to the site to fight off infection,” explains Andaleeb Sajid, co-first author on the study. “Like other animals that developed tick immunity after repeated bites, the ticks were unable to feed on the guinea pigs and quickly detached.”

Yeah
No
Yeah no. They lied last time they brought an mRNA vaccine to the public. So pound sand
I’m with you. Not another injection again. Period. First the blood supply has aids (thank you commifornia), every injection is a death sentence. There are not trustworthy doctors either. At least none in the USA. DEFINITELY NONE IN THE VA system. Between the first and second lockdowns I had surgery last year to reattach a torn bicep. The second lock down caused me to not be able to schedule a follow up. Then they told me o waited too long that any issues are my fault. My left arm while I can use it is completely neuropathic. All indeed I pressure and tingling. And the muscles won’t relax so they feel tight all the time. Now I can’t get any service unless I take the jab.
Since the Covid-19 vaccine works so well, I will never take mRNA Lyme jab. How many boosters will you have to take?
During the Cold War the U.S. weaponized lyme disease and dropped ticks into Cuba.
THAT is no longer a ‘problem’.......................
Yes it is, and you have to wear a mask, or else you'll give it to somebody else. And present your digital pass that proves you have no ticks.
I’m lining up for this one today. I hate ticks
So does doxycycline.
It is my absolute least favored antibiotic, but I’ll happily take that over a vaxx.
News of the FUTURE from 2031:
Today, the CDC approved, and First Citizen Fauci forcefully recommended, COVID BOOSTER #47, saying this will be the “Last one, we promise”. Just as they have said for ten years.....................
