We are seeking public apologies and retractions/corrections
We are seeking public apologies and retractions/corrections from the following publications! We urge you to sign this petition because there are thousands of patients who are currently disabled from the persistent form of borrelia infection (Lyme disease), and too many who have needlessly died.
We will not be ridiculed by the following publications (listed below) ignoring current science and attacking a very large and ever-growing group of chronically ill patients who are disabled and dying -- all in the name of political gain -- without these publications' writers and editors taking the time to review all available research and data.
For peer-reviewed evidence of persistent borrelia infection (Lyme disease), please click below:
