It is HARD to get autopsies done, even when Lyme patients bequeath their bodies to the effort. It's extremely rare these days in the U.S. Dr. MacDonald was a pathologist who also was very active in the early efforts to map the reach of Borrelia. He looked at Alzheimer brains. If I recall correctly, seven of ten autopsied brains showed evidence of Lyme. He also, I believe, looked at embryo cases. He is still active, although I think he retired from pathology.
