From the Wikipedia page:
It can also come back even if successfully treated. If you have another infection that messed with your immune system, like covid, Lyme can come back and make your life miserable.
It sounds like you think all vaccines are mandatory, but that’s not correct.
Your comment had nothing to do with what was said
Most patients can be cured by antibiotics 2-4 weeks of treatment

There were 9 reported deaths in the US from lyme disease from 1985 to 2018.

Edit: Lol at people actually down voting verified sources. I apologize if your opinions do not match with researched facts.
It’s not all about preventing deaths, it’s also about maintaining quality of life. On top of that, Being able to avoid antibiotics where possible is a good thing for preventing antibiotic resistance. Additionally, preventative medicine is almost always cheaper than treatment.
No no! Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! According to this idiot apparently.
This helps other vaccines, like maybe one against lone star tick AGS (causes allergy to red meat)
Lyme disease can be terrible. Any lessening of human suffering is worthwhile, and poor outcomes are not just fatalities. You can get treatment and still be sick with fatigue, pain, and difficulty thinking for more than 6 months.

Just because you have verified sources, that doesn’t mean you have a good argument. I don’t accept your premise.
