Attn: ADM Brett P. Giroir, M.D., Assistant Secretary for Health

Dr. Giroir,

The US Centers for Disease Control continues to waste taxpayer dollars on Dr. Gary Wormser’s frivolous junk science which over the years has negatively influenced the response to this runaway plague.

You have received numerous emails with scientific reference after reference, testimony after testimony of how Lyme disease is destroying lives nationwide yet you remain silent to every one of my inquiries.  

There is absolutely no question whatsoever that the CDC is a captured agency controlled by the con artists exploiting the system under government protection.

Regulatory Capture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

According to Wikipedia: Regulatory capture is a form of government failure which occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or political concerns of special interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.[1] When regulatory capture occurs, the interests of firms or political groups are prioritized over the interests of the public, leading to a net loss for society. Government agencies suffering regulatory capture are called "captured agencies".

Your silence Dr. Giroir is a vote of no confidence.
