Notwithstanding the arrows being thrown around with regard to particular institutions, how would one conduct a test for Lyme disease if there were no antibodies? The witnesses have spent the past number of hours explaining that one will get a diagnosis if one is testing for the disease itself or the body's reaction to antibodies. How can somebody go to Timbuktu and get tested and receive a positive diagnosis without one of these two things?
