FDA Chief Says Lyme Disease Came from U.S. Military Lab 257, Suggests HIV Came from African Lab (Video)
“It came from Lab 257 on Plum Island.”
In a stunning exchange on the PBD Podcast (Episode 690), U.S. Commissioner of Food and Drugs (FDA) Dr. Marty Makary, a Johns Hopkins surgeon, dropped two bombshell admissions about pathogen origins—one about HIV, the other about Lyme disease.
Dr. Makary openly entertained the possibility that HIV “may very well have come from a lab in Africa,” saying the film Thank You, Dr. Fauci “explore[s] a non-traditional narrative, which has not gotten the attention it deserves.”
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is said to be a retrovirus that targets and destroys CD4 T cells in the immune system, weakening the body’s ability to fight infections and potentially leading to AIDS if untreated.
When asked where Lyme disease originated, Makary answered directly: “I can tell you with a high degree of probability. It came from Lab 257 on Plum Island.”
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through bites from infected blacklegged ticks, often marked by an expanding “bull’s-eye” rash, fever, fatigue, and joint pain.
The head of the FDA has admitted that two major diseases originated not in nature, but in government laboratories, raising questions about other disease origins. (See link for article)

Here’s the brief 5 minute portion of the interview pertaining to HIV and Lyme. Scroll to 2:44 hear the bit on Lyme disease. Go here for entire interview.
For years, Lyme advocates have been gaslit for stating the exact same words Makary said.
In fact, after waiting an entire year for Representative Chris Smith‘s (R-NJ) proposed amendment passed by the House of Representatives directing the government’s ‘watchdog’ agency to investigate the DOD’s possible weaponization of ticks and other insects with Lyme disease, the inspector general at the Pentagon didn’t have the bandwidth to launch an investigation. (Translation – I don’t have any balls and I’m passing the football to someone else), so then it headed to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Ultimately, the Senate rejected the amendment for the GAO to investigate whether Lyme came from a Pentagon research laboratory
And despite an investigation into five NJ school districts revealing devastating effects of Lyme disease on the children there, cries have fallen on deaf ears. The CDC refused to publish the school study despite telling the advocate that they would.
So while Makary affirms what we all know, the following problems remain:
- The CDC’s monopolized testing remains abysmal, missing a majority of cases
- Any testing other than CDC testing is maligned and denied by most doctors
- treatment guidelines are based on antiquated and faulty research using a monotherapy when most patients are coinfected
- treatment guidelines only allow a few weeks of treatment or suppressing the immune system when research has shown again and again these treatments fail
- research and mainstream medicine deny chronic, persistent infection
- patients with continuing symptoms are gaslit by medicine, media, and research
- doctors are trained to rely on faulty testing, deny chronic infection, and follow outdated and faulty guidelines
- doctors admit they are too afraid to treat patients and they would rather diagnose a patient with anything but Lyme/MSIDS
- doctors trained by ILADS are considered ‘quacks’ by mainstream medicine and public health ‘authorities’
- doctors who dare to treat Lyme/MSIDS patients are targeted and persecuted by mainstream medicine and professional groups
- research continues to ignore the large subset of patients with continuing symptoms and insists it’s either ‘all in your head,’ or simply an immune dysfunction
- entrance into research studies is based upon testing positive on an abysmal test and getting an EM rash, which isn’t present for many patients
- a continued push for a ‘vaccine’ when Lyme is pleomorphic and patients are often coinfected making any vaccine ineffective from the get-go and leading many to believe that the push for a vaccine is behind the chronic Lyme denial
