They
don't know what Lyme disease is, but
they know how to treat this new
We-Don't-Know disease, and, according to
the ID Society, if you don't recover
from the IDSA treatment of We-Don't-Know
disease, you never had
We-Don't-Know. (We know
we don't have We-Don't-Know, we know
what we have: Lyme borreliosis.
We don't know what We-Don't-Know
is, thanks to Mark
Klempner and Allen Steere.)
However, there are
2 things we do know- there was a
vaccine for We-Don't-Know, and there was
also a 1989 ID Society Supplement
published specifically for these
later-known-as We-Don't-Know diseases,
which was meant to be comprehensive
coverage of the spirochetal soon-to-be
We-Don't-Know illnesses, and this was
even supported by CDC staff.
