You never know though.

There's another thread on this.

He actually was rushed to the ER yesterday. Must be bad. I'm guessing coinfections.

George Bush had lyme and is not advocating for us. He actually was treated with advice from a lyme doc, and this was never allowed to get into the news. In fact, nothing about his treatment was ever released to the public, meanwhile we heard everything about his colonoscopy.

So, lyme advocates come from people who want to help others. Not everyone does. Very much doubt we would get any help from Wilson.

Wilson's fever sounds like babesia. What are the chances his doctor looked for that too? Of course, it is surprising he was even diagnosed with lyme.

If he was bold enough to yell out "you lie", maybe he will be bold enough to advocate for us. He might as long as it doesn't effect his career.
