What You Need to Know to Stay Safe From Ticks and Lyme Disease This Summer

PBS NewsHour

According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 476,000 people in the U.S. contract Lyme disease every year. Climate change and human encroachment into wilderness areas means ticks and the disease-causing bacteria they carry are becoming more common. Dr. Linden Hu, an immunology professor and co-director of the Lyme Disease Initiative at Tufts University, joins John Yang to discuss.

**Comment**

Same old myths regurgitated due to either Hu’s ignorance (hard to believe), and/or conflicts of interest because he needs to obtain research grants from the government which continues to push a 40-year old false narrative.

  • Most never see the tick or have a rash.
  • Antibiotics are NOT effective for most as relapses have occurred in virtually every study done.
  • The percentages Hu states goes onto suffer with chronic Lyme are flat-out wrong and only include those diagnosed and treated early.  A far greater percentage are not included in this tally as they are diagnosed and treated late.  When combined together, a whopping 60% or more develop chronic symptoms.
  • Independent research has shown “climate change” is a nothing-burger regarding tick and disease proliferation.
  • While I agree that animals help propagate Lyme/MSIDS, let us never forget our own government experimented on ticks by infecting them with numerous pathogens and then dumped them out of airplanes.
  • Hu predictably pushes a Lyme “vaccine” in both humans and mice.  This is the big cash-cow for research institutions and the government which gives a huge financial return on investment.  Meanwhile, patients continue to suffer without answers or relief.
  • The only time our government is concerned about the increasing numbers of Lyme/MSIDS is when they are pushing a “vaccine.”  Nothing is ever done about the fact we still don’t have an accurate test.
