"The Quest for a Lyme Vaccine," is an editorial published by the Editorial Board of the New York Times.The editorial focuses on a medical necessity: vaccination for Lyme's disease. It talks about the efforts to develop this vaccine and why previous attempts have been unsuccessful. However, this editorial offers hope, that effective vaccines against Lyme disease can be developed.
This context of this editorial is the new hopeful future for people who love being outdoors. A lot of people want to be outside walking their pets, playing in the grass, or even in the woods. However, this is hard to do with many ticks around that can cause Lyme disease. This editorial was written to shed a new hope in the foundation of the prevention of Lyme's disease.
The authors of this specific piece are on the New York Times Editorial board. It is composed of 17 journalists who specialize in different fields. The editors seem highly credible due to the fact that they provide intricate facts about the vaccination for Lyme disease, " The study found that the bioengineered Baxter vaccine produced substantial antibodies against several species of the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.." (New York Times). Not only do these editors prove their credibility in the knowledge of the vaccine, but they also prove their insight in this area of expertise, giving their audience the mere light of an optimistic future.
The editors use a variation of rhetorical devices. They give their perspective on the development of the vaccination and state that it is very possible an effective vaccine will soon be produce.They use syllogism and deduct that if a vaccine for Lyme disease was already once developed, a new an improved version will soon be seen. The editors use a lot of imagery that pertain to the emotional appeal. "People who spend time outdoors in wooded or grassy areas where black-legged ticks are abundant would welcome a vaccine to protect them from Lyme disease..." (New York Times). The diction of words and the tone the editors use really appeal to the pathos and invoke a strong emotion amongst the audience who are in desperate need for this vaccination.
I personally believe that the editors have achieved their purpose tremendously because I love the outdoors and taking my dog for a long walk, strongly believe in the need for a Lyme vaccination. The editors do a great job in giving me hope for this vaccination and they state a great deal of facts about previous attempts at this vaccination. After reading this editorial, I have a lot of hope for a vaccination that could be years away.
