SPRINGFIELD — A class action lawsuit alleging that an at-home Lyme disease test is faulty was voluntarily dismissed last week in U.S. District Court in Springfield after a settlement.

Moira Kerans, a Dalton woman, and TruthCures, a Kansas-based nonprofit group, filed a lawsuit in June against LetsGetChecked, arguing the company’s home Lyme disease tests are deceptive and inaccurate.

On Dec. 28, the plaintiffs filed to voluntarily dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it can’t be brought again.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

The class action lawsuit alleges that the LetsGetChecked test is not accurate.

Sadly, this can be said about ALL testing for Lyme, particularly the FDA “cleared” 2-tier CDC testing, which was rigged for vaccine purposes by leaving out two highly specific bands.

As with most settlement cases, the terms are confidential so we will never know what went on behind closed doors.  The only thing that was brought to light was that the company will never again sell these tests directly to consumers.

The complaint asked for $5 million in damages and a jury trial. In the end, each side paid its own costs and attorneys fees, according to the voluntary dismissal paperwork.  Evidently the amount of money in the agreement was “minimal.”
