Breaking: The license revocation of anti-vax "Lyme literate" predator (& former ILADS board member) Phillip DeMio, MD was affirmed again, this time by the Ohio Court of Appeals.
The medical board found DeMio mistreated 5 adults & 11 children. 6 of the kids were given chelation for autism symptoms.

All told, the bogus conspiracy theories about the origins of #Lyme disease distract from the rampant abuse of kids and adults occurring in the overlapping anti-vaccine and chronic Lyme movements.

So RFK Jr., Jay Bhattacharya, and Marty Makary have all promoted Kris Newby and false claims of #Lyme being man-made.
Newby produced the cult propaganda documentary Under Our Skin, which promotes "Lyme literate" child abusers Charles Ray Jones and Joseph Jemsek, who have many victims.
