The thing that bugs me most (no pun intended) about #LymeDisease is that people accept the claim it’s “controversial” without question. If people were getting properly diagnosed there would be no controversy—so the question should be, who is preventing proper diagnosis??
Who is preventing proper diagnosis of #LymeDisease?
1. @CDCgov, in many ways, but mainly by insisting on test methods that they, themselves have said are inaccurate. They also control the serum repository, ensuring it skews toward the highly reactive arthritis subset.

2. The same people who created the diagnostic standard, who also profit from the bad tests, who also control the narrative by claiming #Lyme diagnosis is “controversial.”

#1. The Feds on the #TBDWG have controlled every recommendation & every sentence of the Report to Congress for 6 years. This #FAC was THE chance for #lyme truth to be disclosed after 40 YEARS but the Feds’ role was to keep the false controversy going. 2/
#TBDWG & other efforts that R actually controlled by the Feds like #lymeX (it IS #HHS,not a non-profit) recommend new #lyme efforts but it’s recommended all those efforts be controlled by the very agencies (& In Turn individuals) that reversed #lymeDisease facts & made test fail.
#lymeDisease medicine will NOT be allowed to progress until the corrupt & FALSE #lyme controversy is exposed. It was known in the 1980s & 90s that lyme was a serious & disabling illness that causes neurological, immune & neuroimmune illness & an antibody test=false negatives. 4/
Here’s how #LymeDisease testing is rigged.
1. Allen #Steere discovered a genetic association between strong immune response & arthritis.
2. Only about 15% of people fit that profile

3. SmithKline needed to *not* diagnose #LymeDisease for their #LYMErix #vaccine trials
4. So they convinced the feds to rig the disease definition so a case of #Lyme = #LymeArthritis ONLY

5. This is why #LymeDisease diagnostics are like antibody bingo—rigged to ID only the highly reactive arthritis-prone cases which represent a small minority
6. #LYMErix looked super effective in phase III because the tests would never DX more than 15% of cases!
