Ahead of what is projected to be one of the worst summers for tick-borne diseases in years in Westchester and Rockland Counties, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer today urged, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to double-down on efforts to fully implement new laws, passed by Congress last year, that will significantly increase research, vaccine development and treatment strategies to help stamp out tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease. Schumer said any delay in federal action will allow newly emerging disease like Powassan, which is even deadlier than Lyme disease, to impact already highly vulnerable areas like Westchester, Rockland and the entire Hudson Valley region.

We have a safe Lyme disease vaccine. It's the same one that's used on dogs. It was marketed under the name LIMErix by GlaxoSmithKline.

However, the manufacturer pulled it after only a couple years because of lawsuits by the anti-vaccine kooks.

Clinical studies have proven it safe. And it seems to me that dogs have proven it safe. Adults should be able to make an informed decision whether they want the vaccine or not.

Hysterical libs, hairy armpit squaws, and limp wristed pajama boys should not be making those choices for us.

He’s just angling to get a tick named after himself.

Westchester county is loaded with deer. They need to have bow hunting season with unlimited hunting for a while.

From the CDC February 14, 2017

"(POW) virus is transmitted to humans by infected ticks. Approximately 75 cases of POW virus disease were reported in the United States over the past 10 years. Most cases have occurred in the Northeast and Great Lakes region.

Yeah Schmuckey if we end Bammycare , 700 BILLION will die (per your pal Maxine). Pow will get a chunk!!!

What a POS.

Coexist with ticks. No tick is illegal. They deserve to come out of the shadows.
