The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has announced on its website that Yale pediatrician Dr. Eugene Shapiro has been named to the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group. So far, there has been no confirmation of this from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
If true, this development will likely spark outrage in the Lyme community, where Shapiro is widely viewed as working against the interests of patients.

Here are some of the reasons Shapiro is viewed as anti-patient:

He has testified in court against Lyme-treating doctors, including Connecticut pediatrician Charles Ray Jones, seeking to get their medical licenses revoked. He has helped insurance companies deny disability benefits to Lyme patients. He has financial conflicts of interest related to vaccines.

Shapiro dismisses out of hand the concept of “chronic Lyme disease,” casting aspersions on Lyme patients, their treating physicians, and any supporting research they point to. (“Fake research,” he calls it in onderxtaande article.)
