On December 15th, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) held a roundtable discussion titled “Invisible Illness — Leading the Way with Lyme Disease.”
Missing from this discussion were the usual suspects from the Vector-borne Disease Division of the CDC; Lyle Petersen, Ben Beard, Paul Mead and Adrian Marques from NIAID’s Lyme Disease Studies Unit. Also missing from this roundtable were the chronic Lyme denialist cabal from the Infectious Diseases Society of America; Paul Auwaerter, Allen Steere, Gary Wormser, Raymond Dattwyler, John Halperin, Robert Nadelman, Leonard Sigal and Eugene Shapiro.
Any idea why these individuals who have controlled the Lyme disease narrative for the past three decades were not invited? After listening to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s opening remarks and Representative Chris Smith’s testimony it is crystal clear. The CDC’s handling of Lyme disease (with the involvement of these IDSA individuals) has been a complete public health catastrophe.
I would like to call attention to the following letter written by Dr. Kenneth Liegner who has been treating patients on the front lines since the early days of the burgeoning epidemic of Lyme disease in Westchester County, New York:
A Proposal for a National Spirochetal Reference Laboratory (NSRL) (October 30, 2021)

In Dr. Liegner’s letter he discusses direct detection methods used by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease’s (NIAID) Rocky Mountain Laboratory (RML) in Hamilton, Montana between 1989 and 1991. (antigen-capture method in the urine) “The striking finding was that 37 out of the 51 patients showed positive RML antigen-capture assays in urine while corresponding bloods were dead negative by antibody testing.” Many of these patients had been previously intensively treated with antibiotics. Standard methods of testing for Lyme disease were missing the diagnosis in many patients, including those who were seriously ill.
Our public health officials knew early on that we were dealing with an antibiotic resistant/tolerant seronegative disease but suppressed these findings.
Carl Tuttle’s comment:
So we can add this evidence to the growing history of deceit from our public health officials.
In the fifteen years that I have been studying the mishandling of Lyme disease; I can say with absolute certainty that it was the rush to create a vaccine that led to the deliberate mishandling of the disease as outlined in a summary recently sent to Dr. Robert Redfield, past Director of the CDC.

Questions to [Google’s Gemini] AI:
1. Does a chronic relapsing seronegative disease fit the vaccine model?
AI Response:
A chronic, relapsing, seronegative disease does not fit the traditional vaccine model, which is primarily designed to prevent initial infections. The characteristics you describe present significant scientific and commercial challenges for vaccine developers.
2. Since you agreed that a chronic, relapsing, seronegative disease does not fit the traditional vaccine model this in and of itself would be the motivation to conceal any and all evidence of persistent infection wouldn't you agree? This so-called debate is not a debate at all and deserves a criminal investigation. Who would be a suitable candidate to approach for a legal case?
AI Response:
Allegations of medical fraud are typically handled as civil matters, but they can become criminal if there is evidence of gross negligence, recklessness, or intent to deceive, especially for financial gain.
So when is this crime going to be prosecuted so it is not repeated?? When do we see a Manhattan Project to cure this antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug? Although this Lyme Roundtable opens the discussion, we need a department within HHS dedicated to finding a cure with progress reports on a quarterly basis and a team to be held accountable for that progress. Better antimicrobials are priority one as identified by Dr. Ying Zhang in my email to Robert Redfield.
First and foremost: Fire the Vector-borne Disease Division of the CDC and also fire Adrian Marques from NIAID’s Lyme Disease Studies Unit.

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