Why don’t we get rid of this alphabet program, end subsidies for scientific/medical research, and then quickly find preventions and cures for things like this?

I call for more research into the intelligence of New York State voters.

[Old Yeller]

I’d rather see research done on the mental disorder called liberalism.

Until 1995 there was only one tick borne disease recognized by physicians here in the US. Veterinarians were dealing with six we knew of and many that we suspected that were not identified. Doxycycline cured most of them early in the disease so many were treated empirically. In 1995 the medical community discovered that acute respiratory failure syndrome and thrombocytopenia was caused by a tick borne organism similar to Ehrlichia in canines. Since then there have been dozens identified and newer ones found almost monthly with different species ticks as the primary vector.

If there’s one thing the senate knows, it’s blood sucking parasites.

[jespasinthru]

They have been doing heavy research on tick, flea and bedbug-borne diseases for more than a generation now. How much more tax money do they need for their multi-billion dollar government-funded research grants? And don’t get me started on the cancer research grants. A lot of that money gets looted out and goes right down the rabbit hole.

How bout we start with getting rid of the blood sucking ticks in Congress?

Nothing but a bunch of parasties anyways.

[freeangel]

Speaking as one who has first hand knowledge of Lyme, it is now more prevalent than AIDS but we hear very little about it because it doesn’t fit into the pc crap agenda that is being publicized for libs gratification.

Charles Schumer is an embedded tick on the skin of America.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***As a result, Sen. Charles Schumer has urged the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study new and potentially fatal tick-borne illnesses.***

Probably trying to find new ways to suck the blood of the American Tax payer. Why else is it called poly-ticks, many bloodsuckers.

Kill the deer.

[hosepipe]

Schumer will rue the day he brought up the subject of TICKS...
If ever there was a TICK.... (well you know)

[Gritty]

I have a better idea.

Let's do some research on blood suckers. Schumer could be our first in-depth study.

[fr_freak]

...Lyme disease, if you see a tick on you and pull it off within 24 hours you won’t get it,” Schumer said...

Schumer doesn't have the slightest damn clue what he is talking about (as usual).
