Just in case you would like to add your comments to the article, "MPT airing deeply flawed film about Lyme disease" by Dan Rodricks, I have included a link to the full article below. Here is the introductory paragraph:

Maryland Public Television is set to air a polemical film about Lyme disease that is built on fear-provoking speculations and assertions while advancing a central message that has been discredited by experts in infectious diseases. Despite being apprised of the film's serious flaws, MPT has "Under Our Skin: A Health Care Nightmare" on its afternoon schedule for June 26.

He is in dire need of some education. Let's give him some!

This has already been tried, and it failed.

See the other thread on this subject for a better way of reacting to this.....comment line for the station, to encourage them. Other stations have cancelled in the face of pressure.

Or if anyone is qualified and a good writer for a short direct letter to the editor that might get published. This Op ed should not go unchallenged.

I believe many people read comments at the end of articles to get a feeling for other people's opinions and a wider viewpoint, so I disagree with your comment of "a better way of reacting to this." Perhaps "more ways to reacting" would be better stated.

Well doing something is better than doing nothing! So, do whatever you are best suited to do.
