Would you want it if you discovered after the fact that you had the genotype to acquire Lymerix-triggered arthritis as a result? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p

  The GPs comment has a link to a Vox article that indicates that "Lymerix-triggered arthritis" was never more than a hypothetical posed by some of the members of the FDA review board. No hard evidence of that condition exists. In a sample of 150,000 recipients, only 59 people later reported arthritic symptoms later - no higher than unvaccinated rates. The vaccine was withdrawn before additional studies could provide full empirical evidence that there was no relationship, granted. But the preliminary samples for a lack of full study seem to show the vaccine was just fine, but for some reason the market got spooked.
