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.”

Now they want to give us all Lyme Disease!.................
Ivermectin works on Lyme.
Every future vaccine will be mRNA. That is the whole point of the covid shot, to legitimize mRNA. Now they can brew up shots cheap in huge batches. Great profits.
But a crappy technology.
“Preclinical tests in guinea pigs...”
...as in US citizens I’m sure.
no thanks. let’s wait this time for all the data. since lyme is not an epidemic, why rush. for instance, do we know that tick saliva isn’t toxic or allergenic in itself just like the ccp spike?
It will also prevent fertility! …win/win for the depopulation crowd.
This isn’t the Babylon Bee 🐝? I thought it was a joke.
“indicate the vaccine aids the immune system”
Hey marketing folks, you might want to avoid the verb “aids” when talking about mRNA vaccines and the immune system...
I will never take any vaccine that comes out. They are not trustworthy.
Let's get all those ticks vaccinated.
the one and only attempted Lyme vaccine so far was withdrawn from the market after maiming and killing people who took it ...
More genetic testing and experimentation! Coming to the population SOON!
Still nope

Can’t count the times I heard ...
“novel mRNA-based vaccine”
NOVEL of course makes it perfect.

remember the vaccines are working for four months. So are we supposed to get these vaccines every summer?
