I’ve never seen any evidence of federal involvement in tick borne disease prevention, control, or research on eastern Long Island, or any place else for that matter.

The public is unlikely to “see” what goes on in research laboratories: mostly microscopic and molecular genetics. Results published in the scientific literature and not in Newsday!

for instance here are studies funded in 2015: https://report.nih.gov/categorical_spending_project_listing.aspx?FY=2015&ARRA=N&DCat=Lyme%20Disease
If you click on the project number you will get a detailed description.

They have the most competent scientists. Remember these are peer reviewed studies. So a committee of experts chooses what gets funded and what doesn’t. Zeldin does not choose what gets funded. He along with the rest of Congress just determine the over all funding level for NIH, CDC etc.
