Nothing stokes the passion of activists like rebuking the mercury-vaccine association, as well as the existence of chronic Lyme disease. The Angry Doctor gives it his best shot:

The attorney general of Connecticut has begun an unprecedented antitrust investigation of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, which issued treatment guidelines for Lyme disease that do not support open-ended antibiotic treatment regimens

An attorney general is actually pursuing legal action against an academic society because they disagree with his unscientific view of a bogus clinical entity that is disproved by science. Saying I am shocked and nauseated does not begin to describe my true feelings. . .

. . . science is now being dictated to by people who have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, and aren’t interested in real research.
