The Written Public Comment below has been submitted to the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group as a follow-up to my previous inquiry addressed to Dr. Wanda Jones, Acting Director of the Office of Research Integrity regarding the Klempner antibiotic treatment trials for Lyme disease. There was no investigation from the Office of Research Integrity.
Summary of my inquiry:
1. Inquiry to the Inspector General for Scientific Integrity (Klempner antibiotic trials)

Imagine if Dr. Jones received hundreds of emails from Lyme patients across the country who were denied long term treatment as a result of Klempner's "suspicious" results?

To all Members of the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group,
For the record, Dr. Wanda K. Jones, Director for Research and Scientific Integrity has come to the conclusion that there is no fabrication/falsification in the negative results connected to more than 700 different blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples from the 129 patients in the Klempner antibiotic trials. “Nothing to see here, move along.”
We have studies proving persistent infection after antibiotic treatment for mice, [1] dogs, [2] ponies, [3] monkeys, [4] cows, [5] iris biopsy, [6] and ligamentous tissue [7] but if you perform a simple Google search [8] for the following statement; “There is no convincing scientific evidence that chronic Lyme exists” you will find the top search results are connected to “elements of academic medicine” involved in the denial of the late stage chronic Lyme epidemic.
Circular reasoning: [9] "Suppress all evidence and then proclaim there is no evidence"
Persistent Lyme infection: 363 Peer-Reviewed Studies [10]
When “evidence-based medicine” has been spun to fit bias agendas and the patient voice has been intentionally ignored who investigates the dishonest science?
