If antibiotic resistance was acknowledged early on by our Public Health Officials as it was by Dr. Allen Steere in 1977 the focus would have been on developing new antimicrobials (or different combinations) as seen in the treatment of Brucellosis but the potential money grab from a Lyme vaccine was far too lucrative to pass up. Everything about Lyme from that point forward had to support vaccine development. A chronic relapsing SERONEGATIVE disease did not fit the vaccine model. The money orgy produced by vaccines could not be more obvious through recent Covid events. The rest of the world now has a bird’s eye view of what our Public Health Officials are capable of when a false narrative has been dictated. The disabled Lyme community has been shouting from the rooftops for decades and everyone reading this knows of someone severely affected from Lyme disease; shame on you for not speaking up!

The following letter to Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of Siri & Glimstad breaks down the timeline and deception. Attorney Siri recently exposed the truth/facts about childhood vaccines through the depositions of Stanley Plotkin world’s leading authority on vaccines and Dr. Kathryn Edwards world’s leading vaccinologist.

Aaron Siri, Managing Partner

Dear Attorney Siri,

When and who ruled out sexually transmitted Lyme disease?

Hold that thought for one moment please….

Weren’t we told by IDSA/Eugene Shapiro that there has never been one case of congenital Lyme? WRONG! WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the New York Times that Lyme is “hard to catch and easy to halt”? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by Wormser that persistent symptoms are nothing more than the aches and pains of daily living? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by Mainstream media that LYMErix was taken off the market due to poor sales? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA that the bulls-eye rash appears 80% of the time?  WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA Paul Auwaerter that the two-tier Lyme test is a good test?  WRONG! WRONG!

Weren’t we told by Wormser that single dose Doxycycline as a prophylaxis after tick bite is sufficient in stopping the disease? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA that there’s no Lyme disease in the south?  WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA that it takes 48hrs of tick attachment before the disease can be transmitted. WRONG! WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the (CDC/IDSA/ALDF) that there is no toxin involved in Lyme disease? WRONG! Again.

So what else have they gotten wrong??

Getting back to my original question: “sexually transmitted Lyme disease” ...

The 2014 study below found culture positive evidence of Borrelia spirochetes in the genital secretions of these patients:

Culture and identification of Borrelia spirochetes in human vaginal and seminal secretions
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5482345/

Conclusions:  The culture of viable Borrelia spirochetes in genital secretions suggests that Lyme disease could be transmitted by intimate contact from person to person. Further studies are needed to evaluate this hypothesis.

Here is the CDC’s stance on sexually transmitted Lyme disease:

About other modes of transmission
https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/causes/index.html

There is no credible scientific evidence that Lyme disease is spread through touching, kissing, or sexual contact. Published studies in animals do not support sexual transmission (Moody 1991; Woodrum 1999), and the biology of the Lyme disease spirochete is not compatible this route of exposure (Porcella 2001).

Carl Tuttle’s comment: ONE SINGLE PUBLICATION 23 YEARS AGO! This is not an actual study proving or ruling out sexual transmission; this is one man’s perspective using the words “suggest/suggests/suggesting.”

Don’t look!  That assures you won’t find!

Isn’t that exactly what you just exposed Attorney Siri in the depositions of Stanley Plotkin and Dr. Kathryn Edwards regarding the vaccine and autism debate? There have been no autism studies for the childhood vaccine schedule to challenge the mantra “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism because we say so.”

There have been no studies to rule out sexually transmitted Lyme disease so how much sexually transmitted Lyme has been circulating in the public for the past three decades or more?

In 2003 Texas physicians Harvey and Salvato tested their chronically ill patients for Lyme disease via CDC Western blot criteria finding all patients positive for the infection in a state where the prevalence of Lyme infected ticks is only about 1-2%. “No history of bull’s-eye rash or illness following tick bite was reported by these patients.” The CDC defines “Lyme disease” exclusively as a zoonotic illness. Congenital and gestational transfer cases have been disregarded for reasons not evident to us.”

Here is an example of how other infections have been managed:

Chronic Brucellosis and Persistence of Brucella melitensis DNA
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Chronic+Brucellosis+and+Persistence+of+Brucella+melitensis+DNA

After acute brucellosis infection, symptoms persist in a minority of patients for more than 1 year. Such patients are defined as having chronic brucellosis. Since no objective laboratory methods exist to confirm the presence of chronic disease, these patients suffer delays in both diagnosis and treatment.

Why haven’t we done this with Borrelia burgdorferi infection…..

1. Administration of a triple versus a standard double antimicrobial regimen for human brucellosis more efficiently eliminates bacterial DNA load.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25246401

The doxycycline-streptomycin-rifampin regimen eliminates Brucella DNA more efficiently than doxycycline-streptomycin, which may result in superior long-term clearance of Brucella.

2. Different Clinical Presentations of Brucellosis.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27284398

It was once believed that rifampin was curative in treating Brucellosis but when symptoms returned doxycycline was added to the mix and when that too failed a third antibiotic, streptomycin was added to the current treatment regimen.

In contrast, oral amoxicillin or doxycycline remains the treatment of choice for treating Lyme disease for over thirty years regardless if debilitating symptoms return. Dr. Allen Steere knew that these antibiotics were not effective for all patients (see 1977 reference) but there has been no change in treatment or research to find more effective ways to eradicate the infection in all stages of disease.

Lyme arthritis: an epidemic of oligoarticular arthritis in children and adults in three connecticut communities. (1977)  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/836338/

Steere AC, Malawista SE, Snydman DR, Shope RE, Andiman WA, Ross MR, Steele FM.

Excerpt:

“The best treatment for this illness is not clear. Some physicians have reported that penicillin or tetracycline results in disappearance of the skin lesion (41,42), but others find antibiotics ineffective. Four of the patients with expanding skin lesions received penicillin but still developed arthritis.”

In contrast, the only action item we have in the pipeline after FORTY years for Lyme disease is a vaccine fast-tracked by the FDA in 2017. Since all the eggs have been put into the vaccine basket it would appear that our Health Agencies are in the shot business with annual revenue of $4.3 billion from the sales and patent royalties.

A chronic relapsing seronegative disease DOES NOT fit the vaccine model because you cannot prove vaccine efficacy in a disease where we don’t know who has or does not have the infection! So, deny the chronically infected by suppressing all evidence of antibiotic resistance, claim that the infection is easily treated because newer curative treatment for all stages of disease would give the public an excuse not to take the vaccine, reject all direct-detection methods that prove chronic infection and voila! move forward with patent royalties, vaccine development and pharmaceutical profits. The federal watchdog is no more. People suffering and dying and for what? Lyme for Profit.

The CDC has propagated this false Lyme disease narrative for decades and to this day refuses to recognize the disabling stage of the disease exposed in the documentaries Under our Skin and The Quiet Epidemic.

Suppressing evidence of antibiotic resistance for the sake of a vaccine is a crime Attorney Siri!

This is a criminal case that must be exposed as you have done with the childhood vaccine mantra; “Vaccines do not cause autism because we say so.”

Chronic Lyme does not exist because we say so! DO NOT QUESTION OUR PUBLIC HEALTH NARRATIVE, PERIOD!!! Or else…

We need your help Attorney Siri! We need your help!

Tuttle’s comment:

This is the same old garbage (junk science) regurgitated by the CDC/IDSA year after year, decade after decade while avoiding the elephant in the room.

Conclusion: “Fortunately, safe and effective vaccines for Lyme disease may be on the horizon which could both reduce LB incidence on a population scale while averting long-term patient suffering”  Voila and there you have it folks!!!!
