We need to talk about The Discredited Beliefs Section

Purely WP:PROFRINGE rambling. Hemiauchenia (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I encourage anyone in here making edits to please watch the documentary film ‘The Quiet Epidemic’. More sources also actually proving such co-infections are fairly common. This section of the page is invalidating and is suggestive that these comorbidities simply don’t exist. A lot of the articles cited throughout this entire wiki are dated and basically completely irrelevant now. After the collusion with the IDSA, CDC, and insurance companies and congressional hearings… if anything THAT should be mentioned on WHY there are so many “discredited “ (unsoundly discredited) beliefs. Watch the film and research. This whole page needs to be cited and re-done.

this is a disaster and it’s harming people with outdated rhetoric, false information, propaganda and biases 2601:644:9181:ED10:F556:FA00:5A8A:68B6 (talk) 03:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Chronic Lyme disease" is a fake diagnosis, but the symptoms that patients suffer are very real [1] Wikipedia should present scientific facts as they are. Hemiauchenia (talk) 06:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a fake diagnosis and is widely now disproven. It is real with persistent evidence of a chronic infection. The article is not presenting scientific facts and is currently false and incorrect at this time. 2601:644:9181:ED10:981F:3EE2:49DF:E299 (talk) 11:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
