Twin Towers post

[Guest guest]

On the Twin Towers post -

I find this post very troubling. I don't dispute the very real (and

prolonged) suffering of Lyme patients, and the seriousness of untreated

Lyme. I have a hard time equating the positive efforts of two doctors

with skyscrapers full of thousands of innocent people. Not treating Lyme

of course affects many innocent people. But the tone of this post and

the facile comparison to a scarring national tragedy that many are still

grieving from doesn't seem to me to be helpful to the Lyme cause. It is

meant to be a disturbing comparison, I know, but it does not inspire me

to action. I don't share the sense that this is appropriate or helpful.

I am a Lymie who worries about treatment. I am grieved for the

person who felt compelled to make this comparison. I do suggest it is

perhaps not helpful; the force of what comes across as enormous

insensitivity to those grieving may alienate those otherwise eager to

support the Lyme cause.
