OKAY, acquire all these reports by the crooks, themselves:
==========================
Steere on Lyme as a Relapsing Fever organism with the changing and
expanding IgM
bands:
http://www.jci.org/articles/view/112683
CDC adopts this STEERE-1 diagnostic standard where we are to perform
sequential
Western Blots to look for changing and expanding IgM and IgG bands:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CDC_DOCUMENTS_1990.htm
THEN the cabal was formed at New York Medical College with the
assistance of Kaiser-Permanente:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CONNOLLY_FISH_WEINSTEIN.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/ALDF_BOARD.htm
with the insider investors like Mort Zuckerman, the AIG Greenbergs,
and Anthony
J. Walton (all three are in the Council on Foreign Relations)
Scroll down almost halfway to see AMERICA's TOP DOCTORS Connolly's
autobiograpphy:
http://www.actionlyme.org/080523.htm
Kaiser bailed out the financially floundering New York Medical College
and there
they remain, training KaiserMD drones, giving them med school tuition
kickbacks
if they'll agree to "work" for Kaiser.
THEN Steere went to Europe with the bogus strains:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYMEDISEASE_CHP3_B.htm
THEN no one agreed with Steere when they tried out his proposal that
Lyme is only
an autoimmune arthritis in a knee (STEERE-2):
http://www.actionlyme.org/STEERE_DRESSLER.htm
(Look at "ROC areas"- that's the Elephant Rule claim)
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYMEDISEASE_CHP3.htm
Gary Wormser found and reported that the Dressler/Steere proposal for
IgG was only
15% accurate or detected only 9 out of 59 cases.
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=266355&blobtype=pdf
No one agreed with Steere at all, or even close, among the INVITED
LABS:
http://www.actionlyme.org/DICKSON_FDA_SUBMISSION_FULL.htm
as I demonstrated to the FDA Vaccine Committee with the evidence.
Klempner's "long term treatment study" protocol was based on this
bogus Steere testing, as were the vaccine trials:
http://www.actionlyme.org/KLEMPNER.htm
So, it is bogus science and this is the basis of the IDSA guidelines.
Nobody know what Klempner's long term treatment study means because he
had no
data.
NO DATA.
It is especially bogus since Klempner already proved why ceftriaxone
treatment failed:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MarkKlempner_Fibroblasts.htm
Confirm all of that with the FDA Bioaanlytics Division:
http://www.fda.gov/CDER/GUIDANCE/4252fnl.htm
Ask them if a 95% SPECIFIC antibody is 95% accurate for diagnosis, or
does 5 times
95% more equal 95%, especially when these antigens occur over time
(months to years)
and not all at once, as Steere first explained in 1986:
http://www.jci.org/articles/view/112683
And ask the FDA why OspA vaccine was intended to be given annually?
Go ahead and ask them. They *approved* this bullshit.
Are we expected to wait for Steere's "months to years" for all the
antibodies to show up so we can have Late Lyme Arthritis in a knee- an
allergy response
to OspA (an ALLERGY RESPONSE TO THE VACCINE, LYMERIX) in order to be
diagnosed with the "EARLY LYME" DEARBORN LYME criteria?
Nobody better ever claim Steere has a grip on science.
He claimed the equivalent of "It's always best to detect
'Intercontinental
Ballistic Missiles' *after* they have landed, they must have had 5 or
more nuclear
warheads, and the treatment for post-ICBM Syndrome is Viagra."

>
>Created: 05/31/2008
>T.L Kittle, an activist of sorts, has this long commentary posted here about
Ohio Wesleyan's commencement address earlier this month.
>
>His point can be summarized:
>
>"The main problem with this speech and his argument about Lyme Disease,
>is that he's basing the entire argument on whether or not someone who is
>ill with Lyme symptoms should be treated with antibiotic therapy and for
>how long on diagnostic testing -- presenting diagnostic testing as if these
>tests were 100% reliable, which is false information -- horrifying by
>someone who is supposed to be honoring the science.
>"Diagnostic tests based on scientific studies fail to show evidence of
>Lyme disease in most of these patients," stated Allen Steere."
>
>I don't get Kittle's argument. Can someone help? Are the false negative
and false positive rates for these diagnostic tests so high to cause
so much uncertainty
and impression of the cost effectiveness analysis? My quick search
said no, so that
means that guy doesn't know what he is talking about...
>
>Kittle's response...
>
>The issue isn't the exact rate of false negative or false positive results
for these tests--the issue is that these false negative/positives
exist, proving
that there are people who have Lyme Disease--people who need
antibiotic treatment--when
all of their diagnostic testing have come back negative.
>
>Therefore, testing should not be held up as the only marker for determining
whether or not someone 'scientifically' has Lyme disease.
>
>There are a few other problems (perhaps more troubling?) with this speech that
I didn't have the space to address in my original editorial.
>
>1) Dr. Steere uses the fact the tick labs are not FDA approved to insinuate
that these labs are not scientifically credible, yet fails to point
out to the audience
there are many well respected labs that are not FDA approved. (And he
also failed
to point out that these tick labs have been government inspected--and
passed--numerous
times because their science was determined to be credible.)
>
>2) At the end of his speech, Dr. Steere complains to the audience that the Lyme
vaccine was pulled off the market for reasons that weren't based in
science,
*however*, the FDA--the same organization he uses earlier in his
speech to hold
up as a marker for good science--was instrumental in the Lyme vaccine
being taken
off the market.
>
>See what I mean about how he takes facts as they are convenient?
>
>I also find it problematic for a man of his position to be playing the victim
in a speech like this (the comments regarding he's been 'harassed'),
let alone a journal like the NEJM--I thought the dialog was supposed
to be based
in scientific discussion? It seems disgraceful to me--
>
>I have no doubt that Dr. Allen Steere knows a tremendous amount about Lyme disease,
and science in general--
>
>The problem with this speech is in the facts he leaves out--especially regarding
how the Lyme vaccine got pulled from the market (have you read some of
the case
files of what happened to some of the people who had that vaccine?)
>
>Given his position of authority, he has a responsibility to share the whole
truth--not cherry pick the facts as it is convenient to him. I have no
idea why
he's doing this (money perhaps? but I don't know--),\
>
>but the fact that he is doing it is appalling--it's in direct violation
both of the oath he's sworn as a physician and the trust that people
give him
because of his positions within various medical institutions--
>
>and people are suffering unnecessarily directly because of it.
