2 Million USA Lyme cases per year (CDC reports only 20,000) World wide epidemic...but not in Australia???

When Brian Fallon did a study at Columbia University, which was just done. I forget the exact number, but it was something like he screened through 3700 people to get 37 positive (CDC positive) IGG. Now the number that you see from the CDC is a 10 times difference, like 20 000 is really 200,000. That’s not true according to Brian’s study, it’s 100 times.

IT'S ACTUALLY 2 MILLION PEOPLE PER YEAR THAT ARE GETTING THIS DISEASE."
