T.L Kittle, an activist of sorts, has this long commentary posted here about Ohio Wesleyan's commencement address earlier this month.

His point can be summarized:

"The main problem with this speech and his argument about Lyme Disease,
is that he's basing the entire argument on whether or not someone who is
ill with Lyme symptoms should be treated with antibiotic therapy and for
how long on diagnostic testing -- presenting diagnostic testing as if these
tests were 100% reliable, which is false information -- horrifying by
someone who is supposed to be honoring the science.
"Diagnostic tests based on scientific studies fail to show evidence of
Lyme disease in most of these patients," stated Allen Steere."

I don't get Kittle's argument. Can someone help? Are the false negative and false positive rates for these diagnostic tests so high to cause so much uncertainty and impression of the cost effectiveness analysis? My quick search said no, so that means that guy (T.L. Kittle) doesn't know what he is talking about...
