Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Lyme Disease: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. John Lambert:
The view should support the science not the opinion. I would like to review the report. People often cherry-pick findings to suit themselves. I have done my homework and carried out a comprehensive review. There is a lot more than meets the eye when one considers these documents.
There has to be greater transparency, better science and some dialogue with the groups involved to come up with a fair and scientific consensus that actually represents the new understanding of the disease, something we did not have a couple of years ago. I am not sure if the documents actually contain that knowledge.
