Learn about the updates across the #Lyme field highlighting growing interest in prevention strategies, with multiple approaches advancing in clinical studies. ⤵️
It’s like his pledge to fight toxins. He only cares about pseudoscientific concepts, whether they are false beliefs about toxins or #Lyme.
RFK Jr. has continued and strengthened dangerous efforts by the Biden administration and first Trump administration to legitimize the harmful chronic Lyme cult.
Only European studies have shown #Lyme transmission under 24 hours.
A recent expert review did list the transmission time in Europe to be a knowledge gap:

Not sure how promising this is as #Lyme prophylaxis.
"Tarsus has not proven that its pill can actually prevent Lyme disease."
And Lyme transmission has been shown in <24 hrs.
Would be interesting to test if this treatment induces tick regurgitation, as claimed with other chemical removal methods.
Not sure how promising this is as #Lyme prophylaxis.
"Tarsus has not proven that its pill can actually prevent Lyme disease."
Would be interesting to test whether this treatment elicits regurgitation behaviours in ticks, as other chemical removal methods are claimed to do.
Not sure how promising this is as #Lyme prophylaxis.
"Tarsus has not proven that its pill can actually prevent Lyme disease."
And, the general consensus is Lyme can be transmitted within 24 hours of #tick attachment, with this study observing around 16 hours: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Mark Klempner, MD, presented promising safety data at the World Vaccine Congress yesterday about an injection designed to prevent Lyme disease: direc.to/o8qZ
Licensed by Tonix Pharmaceuticals, TNX-4800 is not a vaccine. It works by inactivating the bacteria in the #tick.

Pfizer and Valneva announced their #Lyme disease #vaccine candidate demonstrated 70% efficacy in phase 3 clinical trials. The vaccine could gain regulatory approval, becoming the only Lyme disease vaccine available.
What an incredible community! Thank you everyone for your interest in our trials for #LongCOVID, #MECFS and chronic #lyme. Our coordinators returned to work today with full inboxes from interest in our decentralized trials. So much gratitude for you all. Thank you! 🙏🏻

I don’t say this nearly enough on here, but I’m so grateful for my team. They’re some of the hardest working, brilliant folks on the planet. Whether they’re pushing the needle on first-in-human #BCI tech, helping folks with diagnoses like #LongCOVID, #MECFS and chronic #lyme

We are pleased to share our recent study published in #ScienceAdvances, describing a previously unrecognized cellular mechanism underlying the dynamic gene expression of tick salivary glands during blood feeding. scim.ag/4c8lmGE

Based on these data, this device has now received FDA approval as a pain relief technology, and we hope it will be a viable, non-drug option for people who live with chronic pain. If you have chronic pain related to #lyme disease, please consider joining our new trial of this

Finally got results of the double blind 3-year Lyme vaccine study in which we’ve been happily involved: I received the vaccine, hubby did not.
We guessed as much— my reaction was always typical, he had no reaction. This means I get to continue! Second round, here I go.

“Public fear of #Lyme borreliosis causing severe brain and organ damage & reduced QOL has led to widespread non-scientific diagnostics and non-evidence-based treatment guidelines.
To further complicate the situation, the poorly defined term chronic Lyme disease has been introduced & widely used.”
We’re grateful to Ira Pastor and the Progress, Potential, and Possibilities podcast for the opportunity to share more about the work underway in #Lymedisease and #tickborneillness. Learn more about our mission to make #Lyme easy to diagnose and simple to cure.
💉Pfizer says it will seek approval for #Lyme disease #vaccine candidate despite a trial miss on a key endpoint.

💬 A vaccine officer with @pfizer said a #Lyme disease #vaccine 💉trial “creates confidence in the vaccine’s potential” after it showed more than 70% efficacy.

So what's all the fuss about the #LymeDisease #vaccine on the #news?
There are currently no #Lyme #vaccines available for humans, but major #pharmeceutical companies are pushing research forward.
Check out the review I've written on the subject, here: uniofnomi.wordpress.com/2025/03/14/l...
The Pfizer/Valneva #LymeDisease #vaccine didn't quite hit the benchmark, demonstrating 73.2% efficacy after the fourth dose.
The companies claim fewer #Lyme cases during the study than expected. Interesting - are fewer people spending time outdoors?

How does that new #Lyme vaccine for humans compare with canine #vaccines ?
"Lyme vaccines appear to prevent seroconversion or illness in most (60%–86%)3 vaccinates, but not consistently in all #dogs, and not for a very long duration of immunity"

📢A #Lyme disease #vaccine 💉candidate from @pfizer and @valnevaSE showed more than 70% efficacy after four doses in a phase 3 trial.
➕ Dr. Eugene D. Shapiro @YaleSPH shares his perspective.

"Lyme disease is not believed to produce a congenital infection syndrome.
No causal relationship between #Lyme disease in a pregnant person and abnormalities of pregnancy or congenital disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex has been documented."
