How about the French pharmaceutical company that shelved their vaccine before GlaxoSmithKline's? I will try and find the article, but as I remember it, their vaccine worked on the OSPa protein and had a number of proven and harmful side effects. It turns out that the Lyme bacteria is hard to vaccinate for since it can change its outer surface proteins to evade the antibodis pretty easily -- in the end, the immune system is much better on its own than relying on a vaccine.
