This is from Lyme advocate Carl Tuttle who has an active petition on Change.org. I received this message today:
Yesterday’s Boston Globe article follows in the footsteps of the recent CDC announcement that 300,000 cases of Lyme per year are more likely a better estimate than the previous 30,000. The CDC has long known and admitted that their numbers were off by as much as ten. Striking fear in the public would generate acceptance for a new Lyme vaccine currently under development in the UK by Baxter Pharmaceuticals as the previous LYMErix vaccine was a failure.

Excerpt from the Boston Globe article:
“Stanley Plotkin, emeritus professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania and a vaccine expert, said the report shows the urgent need for a vaccine against Lyme.
His son, Alec, collapsed in August 2005 while walking his dog in the suburbs of Philadelphia. An alert doctor at the hospital he was brought to realized he had Lyme and successfully treated him with antibiotics and a pacemaker.
“I think it is unconscionable and a discredit to all parties — public health, manufacturers, Lyme activists — that no Lyme vaccine is available to humans while there is one for dogs,” he wrote in an e-mail Thursday.”
From the petition site:
Petition: Calling for a Congressional investigation of the CDC, IDSA and ALDF
https://www.change.org/petitions/the-u-s-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf
It’s all about the VACCINE
It has become blatantly obvious that the CDC will go to great lengths to insure that Lyme disease remains within its narrow definition in order to fit the vaccine model. Chronic Lyme does not fit any vaccine model.
The CDC has long known about the virulence and persistence of this spirochete focusing on a vaccine as the cure-all to this world wide epidemic. The late stage/chronic Lyme community has become collateral damage for a vaccine market in the course of a government sponsored initiative as Baxter’s phase III clinical trials are underway.
Please continue to forward this petition.
Thank you for your continued support.
