To everyone who has signed this petition!
Please send an email to Dr Jay Bhattacharya, (jayanta.bhattacharya@nih.hhs.gov) Director of the National Institutes of Health referencing this petition update and describe your experience living with Lyme disease. The two NIH funded studies identified below are 100% responsible for the pain and suffering around the globe because what has been wrongfully established here in the US has been propagated WORLDWIDE.
Last I checked, there were signatures coming in from 21countries so again, ANYONE no matter where you live email Dr Bhattacharya and let’s get some traction with an NIH Director who wants to “Restore Trust in Public Health.”
Demand a retraction of the Klempner NIH funded antibiotic trials for Lyme disease!
Thank you for your support!
Today's email to Dr. Bhattacharya:

"We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH."
To: Jay Bhattacharya
Director of the National Institutes of Health
Dear Dr. Bhattacharya,
Twenty-four years ago, Dr. Mark Klempner’s NIH funded research set the stage for long-term treatment denial when his methodology could not isolate the causative agent responsible for Lyme disease. Although a growing body of peer-reviewed evidence refuted his findings, the Centers for Disease Control refused to acknowledge anything outside of Klempner’s results and turned the disease into a syndrome when patients remained sick after the one size fits all IDSA mandated treatment protocol of 2-4 weeks.
Recent evaluation of Klempner’s methodology has uncovered fatal flaws in his PCR testing for Lyme disease; grants N01-AI-65308 and M01 RR000054.

Please take a moment if you will to read the following emails sent to Klempner identifying the flaws in his research as described by Dr Sin Lee of Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, specializing in DNA sequencing-based diagnostics.
Dr. Mark Klempner’s NIH funded research is responsible for unimaginable pain and suffering across America requiring immediate attention by the Director of the National Institutes of Health.

Did Dr Mark Klempner purify samples before PCR in his NIH funded antibiotic treatment trials ?
