It is difficult to diagnose because the CDC and IDSA, both government agencies, do not have the diagnostic and treatment regimens in place for this disease.
If you look up Lyme on CDC.gov you will see completely different statistics than the doctors who are finding it outside their guidelines.
If a doctor suspects it, he completes the steps provided by CDC and IDSA. By doing this, it will be missed. Dr Richard Horowitz and others are pushing for change.
Have you listened to what Dr. Burgdoferi, the founder of Borriella burgdoferi, has to say about this disease? You tube it.
It has spread by many reasons such as through animal migration, blood transfusions, and by placenta.
Again, your opinion is your own, but I invite anyone to live with this illness for 1 week. Let it completely change your life, go to IV clinics, shoot your thighs with injections every day, live with side effects of meds,
Live this, talk to people with it,
Then and only then will I listen to your opinion.
I guess what I am saying is that I don't blame the CDC for misdiagnosing because they don't know. However I would blame them for not knowing, because that is their job. It may seem a trite distinction but it is a big one for me.
and part of the reason i pull up short at blaming the government for the disease, or how far it has spread, is because I don't know how far up the ladder it goes. If this was just one guy working for the government on insect transmitted disease and lyme got out because of him, i would blame him, not the government. Now if a government agency okayed the plan to release on locals I would blame that agency, not the government/elected officials. If some elected official, government over-site group okayed it, or it was part of an 'official' policy I would blame the government. Without knowing all the pieces I find it difficult to assign blame to anyone.
