"My personal commitment to combating Lyme disease is longstanding, going back 20 years..."

"If only we had done the same with Lyme disease legislation in the late 1990s; there has been a missed decade on Lyme."

"if there is not confidence in the process and the transparency, it does erode a belief that this a completely on-the-up process"

"I have been dismayed and, frankly, angered by the unwillingness of some to take a fresh, comprehensive look at this insidious disease."
