If Shapiro does magic tricks and wanted to be a psychiatrist,
that would be because deception comes naturally to him.


And what's investigative medicine?
Is that like spying on Lyme victims
and posting anonymously to newsgroups?
http://www.actionlyme.org/TICK_BITE_CONSPIRACY.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/GOLDWATER_LETTER.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/CONNOLLY_FISH_WEINSTEIN.htm

Shapiro's undergraduate degree is in "English
Literature." This does not make him a scientist.
You have to have 4 years of basic undergraduate
science to be a scientist:
Chemistry, Organic, Biochemistry, Taxonomy &
Evolution, Physics for Engineers and least
3 semesters of Calculus.

REQUIREMENTS!!

Notice that Shapiro does no lab work.

Yale, in fact, does not have *any* scientists
or any scholars, especially since William Odom
died.

I will ask Robert Schoen (by subpoena in the DCF's
penis biter's case:
http://www.actionlyme.org/andersonpenisbiter.htm )
what happened to my bloodwork. Notice that it was "lost"
by Yale at the same time as Shapiro's report that
Congenital Lyme was a non-problem:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm

During the time period that I was there, pregnant,
Shapiro was collecting such data.


I would be embarrassed to have to tell people
I was a Yale professor. They can't do anything
right over there, as is demonstrated by the non-acquisition
by them of over a $$billion in grants in the past year
alone. This is a pretty extravagant insult, but then
again, it is not exactly an insult if un-funding
Yale is deserved.

The country is the insulted party, actually.
And think about it: How many neocons did Yale
produce? Wolfowitz, Libby, and Rumsfeld, if I
am not mistaken.

These are some remarkably stupid people, no?

The bottom line on Yale is that we have to consider
how much bullshit they will not be able to produce
without a $$billion to waste on bullshit.

Like, we should be celebrating.

The most important thing to ever happen to Yale was
their "failure" over "Lyme Disease." Lyme was pretty big.
Now it's an international epidemic, and after Steere produced
a report in 1986 which showed that Lyme was a Relapsing
Fever - and that blood testing standard was adopted
by the CDC - they did a 180, and instead of telling us
the only thing we could do about Relapsing Fever
was get rid of the deer, the came up with the bizarro
idea that it was only an autoimmune arthritis in a knee.
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYMEDISEASE_CHP3_B.htm


*Now* they're trying to say the mice are responsible
(Durland Fish), so that they can leave OspA around
in bait, but also, in order to not be liable for the
international epidemic.


And finally, NOT A ONE OF THEM - NO ONE AT YALE - has
any balls.

I think this fact is *great* in a way. There probably
is no better way to demonstrate the lack of intellectual
or moral superiority of males over females than to take
a look at Yale and "Lyme Disease."

Think about it.

> It's not unusual for Eugene D. Shapiro, MD, to receive calls at odd hours
from around the world. As an expert in Lyme disease, he has found
himself in demand
to consult on cases from New Haven to Norway. Beyond his medical
expertise, he also
brings an understanding of the fears behind Lyme disease. "The anxiety
is as
large a problem, or larger, than Lyme disease itself," he says. "There
is a lot of misinformation in the lay press and on the Internet, and
misdiagnosis
is rampant."
>
>Luckily, Shapiro says, Lyme disease is fairly easy to diagnose and cure. But
the improper use of diagnostic tests, which can give false positive
results, has
led to overdiagnosis. Some symptoms, such as fatigue, headaches and
chronic pain,
are widespread and most often are due to any number of other causes,
so Shapiro
tests for it only when objective findings suggest that someone has it.
Those findings
include an inflamed knee joint or facial palsy. "I have an additional
problem
as a pediatrician because this is the perfect disease for parental
paranoia,"
he says. Although some parents are under the impression that Lyme
disease can ruin
their child's health, in reality he says that about 90 percent of all
cases
consist of a simple rash.
>
>Shapiro went to medical school planning to become a psychiatrist but was drawn
to pediatrics because of the way it incorporates psychosocial issues
into health
care. His interest in the human psyche has served him well; in
treating infectious
diseases, he often has to uncover the source of parental anxiety along
with the
roots of an illness.
>
>A mother may not want to vaccinate her child because she says her neighbor got
autism from a vaccine, or a father may be concerned about a fever
because his parent
died from lymphoma, which started with a fever. Shapiro's job is to
discover
the underlying issue and quell parents' fears by educating them. "You
have
to individualize care," he says. "I think what you need to do is talk
to the person and find out what their real concerns are."
