Ticks carrying Lyme disease are exploding in Ontario, probably because of climate change. It makes sense to get this into the rotation as soon as possible.
After COVID, we suddenly have everybody is acting like vaccines are something weird, odd, new and scary.
Do you have proof of this?
Google "ticks in ontario increasing" for literally dozens of references.
The "probably climate change" is supposition, hence the "probably" disclaimer, but a lot of those references above blame "milder winters" or climate change directly.
Then maybe just leave it out next time. I'm tired of people claiming climate change is responsible with no data to back it up for every natural event. That's no better than someone claiming global warming doesn't exist because they have a cold week of snow.
No, I won't, because it is probably climate change.
So sure leave it in, just know you're at the same level as a climate change denier.

Here are a few sources with two mins of Googling.
Burden of proof is on the commenter. They did not provide proof. The burden is not on me to Google anything when someone else spouts a claim.
Your first article is literally just a guy saying it has changed with nothing to back it up.
From the second study which I'm guessing you haven't even read-
"Climate and other environmental changes are expected to increase the risk of ticks and TBDs in a number of ways."
"Prolonged extremes values of temperature (high or low), low humidity and intense rainfall could adversely affect tick development by reducing their activity and increasing their mortality rateFootnote 5. These changes in temperature are expected to have less of an effect on ticks than on mosquitoes because of the tick’s ability to find refuge in their woodland habitats"
"It is important to note, however, that the relationship between tick-borne diseases and climate is not linear."
Notice the key words EXPECTED and ANTICIPATED.
The best medical treatment is the one you never have to do.
For a lot of stuff, the answer is probably yes, mRNA based vaccines are a revolutionary game changer - their quick turnaround time means you can actually tailor them to a specific cancer or pathogen the patient has and use the patient's own immune system to fight against the disease. Another advantage of mRNA is that manufacture doesn't depend on chicken eggs which take about six months to produce, are challenging to keep sterile enough and have issues for people with allergies (https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/27/health/chicken-egg-flu-va...).
However, some viruses like HIV or Influenza mutate so much that it was hard to make effective viruses, we will have to wait and see what the future brings there.
I guess the real question is why would you not want to reduce human suffering?
We should be so lucky!

>In general, HPV is thought to be responsible for more than 90% of anal and cervical cancers, about 70% of vaginal and vulvar cancers, and 60% of penile cancers. Cancers in the back of the throat (oropharynx) traditionally have been caused by tobacco and alcohol, but recent studies1 2 3 show that about 60% to 70% of cancers of the oropharynx may be linked to HPV. Many of these may be caused by a combination of tobacco, alcohol, and HPV.
Eg: Give it early in people's lives, that the first time they drink even a little alcohol, it should produce such (non life threatening) symptoms - terrible taste, throw up etc, they would not touch it again, and therefore won't be addicted?
Not as a vaccine, but as a drug.
