Mr. McSweegan,
Lyme disease is not always readily treatable; Borrelia had several
mechanisms of persistence, and can persist despite antibiotic therapy.

| Quote: | The activists are already using Internet discussion groups to warn
against a new vaccine. One of them recently wrote "I would encourage
all Lyme patients to consider writing letters, emphasizing the lack
of demand for the last vaccine, and also the fact that any future
vaccines can expect a lack of cooperation, protests, legal quagmires,
etc."

Mr. McSweegan,
The person who wrote that, is NOT an activist, you should know that. The
writings of this individual are not representative either. |
