In the mid-1970s, a cluster of unexplained illnesses appeared in a small town in Connecticut. It would later be called Lyme disease. But how was the investigation handled? What questions were closed? And what records still remain unseen? This 32-minute investigative documentary examines the early history of Lyme disease, the institutional response, and the broader issue of transparency in public health decision-making.

This is not about assigning blame. This is not about promoting a predetermined theory.

It is about one principle: If federal records exist regarding Lyme’s early history, the public deserves to see them. The MAHA movement has emphasized a simple idea: transparency strengthens trust. That applies here. If you believe transparency matters — watch the full investigation, share it, and use #ReleaseTheLymeFiles

Conspiracies don’t begin with imagination. They begin when transparency ends.
