Or they got the Lyme vaccine a couple decades ago.
> In 1998, the FDA approved a new recombinant Lyme vaccine, LYMErix™, which reduced new infections in vaccinated adults by nearly 80%. Just 3 years later, the manufacturer voluntarily withdrew its product from the market amidst media coverage, fears of vaccine side-effects, and declining sales.
>fears of vaccine side-effects
Actual vaccine side effects and law suits. They settled for millions.
There were lawsuits and they found it safest to settle, but that doesn't mean the complaints had statistical validity. According to the paper I posted, the FDA found no evidence of the vaccine causing harm.
Even if harm had occurred, it would have to be weighed against the risk of harm from Lyme disease.
Oh absolutely settling was safest for GSK.
They settled to silence anyone that had adverse events and made them sign non disclosure agreements as part of the payout.
I trust the FDA as far as I can throw them. Suspected they were dirty for a long time and COVID proved it. To me they are an arm of the pharmaceutical industry which does everything in its power to suppress and sanction alternative medicine. Big pharma considers anything other than drug interventions or vaccines "competition".
> and declining sales
The real reason
