Big Basket of Baffoons
40 years later they say we need a new
Lyme test with $$$ for them in the deal!
FORTY YEARS AFTER THE FACT... They finally admit we need new Lyme tests since the ones we have been using, that they've been swearing by, recommending, promoting and have patents on, aren't really good. Good timing too because most of these article authors (if not all) have been sucking down research money to develop a better test and get their patents filed.
QUOTE On Current Tests- "These serologic tests cannot distinguish active infection, past infection, or reinfection. Reliable direct-detection methods for active B. burgdorferiinfection have been lacking in the past but are needed and appear achievable."
Better Known of The Long Time Offenders- Schutzer, Dattwyler, Fikrig, Gerald, Marques, Mead, Steere and more baffoons. CDC, Mass General, Yale, NY Medical College, Univ. of Maryland, Rutgers, FDA, NIH, George Mason Univ, NY State DOH, and more buffoons. Full lists below.
Published in the Infectious Diseases Society of America's Journal- Clinical Infectious Diseases. One of the editors of the journal is Gary WORMSER. Another is Stanley PLOTKIN- the infamous vaccine pirateer.
To Sum It Up...
QUOTE- "This article was developed after a September 2016 meeting at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Banbury Center and subsequent discussions to assess current and potentially new laboratory tests for the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
The participants were from industry, academia, and government, with extensive experience in clinical and laboratory aspects of Lyme disease and other infectious diseases, as well as participants with regulatory experience in the clearance of diagnostic tests.
The emphasis of the meeting was on diagnostic testing platforms for early Lyme disease, since current serologic tests are insensitive during the first several weeks of infection.
There was no intent to take a vote, advocate for one test product over another, or reach a consensus during the meeting; rather, there was discussion of research findings that support or challenge particular diagnostic concepts.
What emerged was a recognition that improved approaches to serologic testing were now available [4] and that the technology for direct detection of bacterial proteins or DNA has advanced to the point that it is evaluable in Lyme disease. If the technology meets scientific rigor, these tests could become future diagnostic assays."
