RFK Jr. pledged to fight Lyme disease. Does that include supporting a vaccine?

Excerpt:

“Johnson also pointed out that the vaccine protects only against Lyme disease, not the number of other pathogens that can be transmitted by the same ticks, such as Powassan virus or the parasite that causes babesiosis.”
 
 
Carl Tuttle’s comment:
 
There should be a routine TBD panel available across America and when I questioned Dr. Paul Auwaerter about this (after his BS Medscape commentary) there was dead silence. My question is still posted to that 2023 Medscape article and left unanswered. The one-sided narrow viewpoint of the IDSA (focusing on their precious Lyme vaccine while manipulating the narrative to fit the vaccine model) has turned the tick-borne disease epidemic into a public health disaster. If you think this is an exaggeration, click on the following link to see that Auwaerter (past president of the IDSA) is a lead investigator for the latest Lyme vaccine currently in stage 3 clinical trials.
