An honorable intention, to be sure!
But here on Free Republic, at this time in history, the conversation is focussing on the possible connection between the Wuhan Flu and a host of adverse reactions. That's undoubtedly what the overwhelming majority of FReepers want to hear more about.
If they want to learn about Lyme Disease, there is a good article about it on Wikipedia. Free Republic is one of the last places where people can have honest discussions about controversial topics that are being actively suppressed in the mainstream media.
I'm not the Moderator here, but I thought that I'd just remark that expanding the scope of the discussion in that fashion was counterproductive / distracting.
Regards,
Many/most FR threads go off topic and down a rabbit hole. Nobody cares. Often people learn things they might not have known otherwise; I know I have.
