I mostly tweet about civil liberties and the chronic Lyme scam, which my mom has been taken in by. Pretty boring stuff.

    To expand: When I looked into Chronic Lyme more by reading the CL support groups my mom joined, I saw the years-long evolution of arguments about CL and I don't believe it happened organically but through encouragement by those profiting from CLhttps://twitter.com/DesolationOfMan/status/1145487766521667584 …

    It's been a strange journey. Before all this, I didn't pay any attention to pseudoscience. I had no idea all this was going on and I had no idea how much it was like a cult, with people like my mom recruited as foot soldiers to financially and emotionally support the rich leaders

        It went from "sure, most people are cured but WE, the unlucky few, are not" to "sure, SOME people are cured, but we, the unlucky majority, are not" to "NO ONE is ever cured" and this comes from profit-driven Lyme literate practitioners looking to grow their customer/victim base

        They achieve that by encouraging current patients to 1) recruit new people and 2) be emotionally invested in their practitioners and to fight the "evil people" who don't want them to get well (while simultaneously convincing them they will never be 100% well)

        And I discovered there is a separate health care system that has been created around Chronic Lyme! Lyme literate labs, LL doctors, LL therapists, LL vets for your pets, etc. So no one has to leave the bubble, which makes it so hard to have discussions with relatives trapped in it

        All the lobbying I see about Chronic Lyme is about giving free rein to Lyme literate and alternative medicine practitioners, who obviously stand to profit from it, and nothing about protecting people from medical predators and the dangerous scams they promote

        We always hear about the money "Big Pharma" pulls in, but I have yet to see any journalists dig deep into who is and how much they're profiting from promoting Chronic Lyme/alternative medicine treatments. There's a great expose waiting to happen, @propublica
