Ok so we know the CDC admits lyme cases may be 10 times higher than those reported
but it seems that text is no where to be found on their site anymore
does anyone have a link to this data that I could share.
or an official source making this statement?
thanks
Paul

I was looking for it, too, Paul. I can't find it either, but went ahead and put it in one of my articles. They've probably been threatened or pressured by Big Brother to put a lid on it.....you know the deal.

Bumping this up;
I, too, have searched for this statement on CDC website. It is not there anymore. They have been put under pressure because of those of us who are activists in this. You know that's what it has to be. It's very blatant and obvious. The powers that be want to do every thing in their power to stifle us, to stop the real truth from being known.
It's the truth....they want us to shut up about it. More the reason to make us think they have something to hide.

"As with a majority of diseases reported through a passive surveillance system, Lyme disease is underreported. Studies in Connecticut and Maryland estimated 7--12 unreported cases for each reported case. Additionally, the case definition has limitations of sensitivity and specificity. Although the case definition was written to be highly sensitive, some unknown proportion of persons with Lyme disease will not meet the case definition, e.g., a person with an erythema migrans <5 cm in diameter. Conversely, misdiagnosis of Lyme disease is known to occur, yet some of these cases are undoubtedly reported as Lyme disease and meet the case definition. Despite these problems, Lyme disease surveillance provides a useful measure of trends in incidence and geographic distribution of Lyme disease."

Thanks for finding the link.
The above information is a rather weak reference to the original statement that was on the website originally. This is specifically speaking about 2 highly endemic states, Connecticut and Maryland.
But it is still something for us to fall back on.
