Four years, three months and 10 days! That’s how long filmmakers have been waiting for the CDC to fill a document request for CVs and financial disclosures of 3 CDC employees, along with select emails between them and authors of Infectious Disease Society of America Lyme guidelines. The filmmakers say those authors have commercial interests in Lyme disease-related test kits, vaccines, and patents. This delay is too long. See the timeline (Link takes you to Word document).
