Lyme Activists have accomplised a great deal over the years. In the
public mind, Lyme is no longer simply the "Classic" that the Allen has
trumpeted for 30 years. Countless cases of Lyme that would never have
been diagnosed on Steere's watch, thousands of lives that would have
been ruined, have been diagnosed and treated successfully. Not just
doctor's, but the entire layer of healthcare professionals beneath
them, and the general public, have had their eyes opened by the hard
and dedicated work of the activists.
Those of us whose lives have been ruined by Steere and his
rheumatogical evil spawn know who did it, if not why.
The problem of disseminated illness is not yet solved--Steere has yet
to admit it exists- but the early diagnosis and treatment of the
illness is far more common than if the patient activist leaders-mostly
all woman-had never acted.
As well, the existence of "Lyme-like" illness caused by other Borrellia
has be recognized on a nation wide basis.
Weisman and Dirtman really have nothing useful to contribute-
not in the laboratory or the courtroom, and certainly not here.
They can smartass and insult until their mouse dies-they accomplish
nothing, that is their fate in professional life.
The pathos of their efforts is numbing.
