This is the starting point for a criminal investigation (1979)… see email below to Jacob Lemieux, M.D., Ph.D. who successfully completed genome sequencing  of the spirochete responsible for Lyme disease.

A chronic relapsing SERONEGATIVE disease does not fit the vaccine model. You cannot prove vaccine efficacy with a disease where we don’t know who has or does not have the infection so narrowly define the disease to fit the vaccine model, (fabricated two-tier case definition) deny the chronically infected and your patent royalties continue to reap benefits.

Deciphering Lyme Disease

Excerpt:

“It turned out that the genetic diversity of Lyme disease is orders of magnitude harder to handle than any other pathogen.” And that complexity is associated with the wide range of Lyme disease symptoms—from severe arthritis in children to fatigue and potentially debilitating joint, neurological, and cardiovascular symptoms in adults—that persist in some patients for months or even years after treatment.
 
Some of the genes encode lipoproteins [composed of fats and proteins] on the bacterial surface, which appear to armor the bacteria against immune assault in the bloodstream.”

Dear Dr. Lemieux,

Thank you for investing the time into whole genome sequencing of the spirochete responsible for Lyme disease and recognizing the pathogen’s diversity as “harder to handle than any other pathogen.”

Allen Steere documented the severity of Lyme disease in 1979 in his article titled Neurologic abnormalities of Lyme disease with 18 case studies describing meningitis, encephalitis, chorea, cerebellar ataxia, cranial neuritis, bilateral facial palsy, motor and sensory reticuloceratids, mononeuritis multiplex, and myelitis. Eight patients continued to have residual disability with some unable to walk.

These are the same experiences exposed in the documentaries; Under our Skin and The Quiet Epidemic  as well as fourteen-year-old Lyme patient Evan White who testified in a 1993 hearing in Washington while in a wheelchair.

Additional reference:

Study detects tick-borne illness in teens hospitalized for depression
https://www.lymedisease.org/hospitalized-teens-lyme-depression/

-Ten patients were diagnosed with DSM-5 Major Depressive Disorder, seven were additionally diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and three had made serious suicide attempts.

-Ten adolescents picked at random with mental illness severe enough that they required institutionalization—nine of them had evidence of tick-borne infections and nine had evidence of autoimmune encephalitis.

So why was this disabling infection transformed into a low-risk and non-urgent health issue as reported in the 2001 New York Times article “Lyme Disease Is Hard to Catch And Easy to Halt” effectively eliminating Social Security Disability compensation for the hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions worldwide) who end up disabled from the disease?

Your study Dr. Lemieux should be the foundation for a Manhattan Project to find a cure for chronic Lyme disease as a mountain of evidence has been growing and ignored by the IDSA/CDC and NIH that we have been dealing with an antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug.

Instead of finding a cure, all the eggs were put into the vaccine basket. (LYMErix)

Let us hope your findings move the research forward to find a cure and not used by our public health officials with a vaccine agenda to scare the public into submission.

Respectfully submitted,
Carl Tuttle
