Biologists map the DNA of 47 strains of Lyme disease

By City University of New York

August 15, 2024

A team led by CUNY Graduate Center biologists has produced a genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria that may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the tick-borne ailment.

Weigang Qiu, a professor of biology at the CUNY Graduate Center and Hunter College, and an international team mapped the complete genetic makeup of 47 strains of Lyme disease-related bacteria from around the world. This created a powerful tool for identifying the bacterial strains that infect patients.

More accurate tests and treatments?

Researchers said this could enable more accurate diagnostic tests and treatments tailored to the bacteria causing each patient’s illness.

“By understanding how these bacteria evolve and exchange genetic material, we’re better equipped to monitor their spread and respond to their ability to cause disease in humans,” said Qiu, the corresponding author of the study.

The study was published in mBio, the flagship journal of the American Society for Microbiology.

Researchers said the genetic information uncovered in the study may help scientists develop more effective vaccines against Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in North America and Europe, affecting hundreds of thousands of people a year. The disease arises from bacteria belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group, which infect people through the bite of infected ticks. Symptoms can include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash. If left untreated, the infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system, causing more severe complications.

Case numbers are increasing steadily, with 476,000 new cases each year in the United States, and may grow faster with climate change, the authors of the study said.

The research team sequenced the complete genomes of Lyme disease bacteria representing all 23 known species in the group. Most hadn’t been sequenced before the effort. The National Institutes of Health-funded project included many bacteria strains most associated with human infections and species not known to cause disease in humans.

Evolutionary history of Lyme bacteria

By comparing these genomes, the researchers reconstructed the evolutionary history of Lyme disease bacteria, tracing the origins back millions of years. They discovered the bacteria likely originated before the breakup of the ancient supercontinent Pangea, explaining the current worldwide distribution.

The study also disclosed how these bacteria exchange genetic material in and between species. This process, known as recombination, allows the bacteria to rapidly evolve and adapt to new environments. The researchers identified specific hot spots in the bacterial genomes where this genetic exchange occurs most frequently, often involving genes that help the bacteria interact with their tick vectors and animal hosts.

To facilitate ongoing research, the team has developed web-based software tools (BorreliaBase.org) that allow scientists to compare Borrelia genomes and identify determinants of human pathogenicity.

Looking ahead, the researchers said they plan to expand their analysis to include more strains of Lyme disease bacteria, especially from understudied regions. They also aim to investigate the functions of genes unique to disease-causing strains, which could uncover new targets for therapeutic interventions.

As Lyme disease expands its geographic range because of climate change, the research provides valuable tools and insights for combating this rising public health threat.

The study is supported by grants from NIH and an award from the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation.

**Comment**

Predictably, the study throws in the globalist talking points of vaccines and climate change, despite there being major disagreements within the scientific community on both issues.

While mapping the strains of borrelia should be good news, nothing will come of this but more lucrative vaccines that will maim and kill many people.  No good tests and no effective treatments will be created.

How do I know?

University research has been hijacked.  NIH, HHS, CDC, and FDA are bought out agencies.  We will get nothing helpful from them.  COVID exposed to all with eyes to see and ears to hear that ‘public health’ isn’t about health at all but  is about power and money.

Patients mean absolutely nothing to these players.

Monkeypox the Election Variant Has Arrived & Take Action Against UN ‘Summit For the Future’ & Cybercrime Treaty NOW

Please go here to see identical side by side pictures of autoimmune blistering disease, caused by the COVID shot & listed on the Pfizer list of adverse events, vs Monkeypox.  Also, please go here to listen to Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg who has exposed numerous false ‘pandemics’ where he states the current monkeypox hype is nothing more than fearmongering by the corrupt globalist establishment trying to cover up the symptoms of the experimental COVID-19 gene therapy shots. He wonders why more doctors aren’t seeing through the deception.  He also states these blisters accompanied by severe pain are symptoms common for shingles, which should be considered in a differential diagnosis and is also a known side effect of the COVID shots.  Attorney Aaron Siri made sure that 390,000 reports from V-safe were made public.

That means 1 in 450 people reported shingles after the COVID shots.

A report by Kannan et al indicates that the US declared Monkeypox public health emergency which expired in 2023 was almost certainly because of a gain-of-function mutation in one or more genes within the Monkeypox virus. The authors do not speculate on whether this happened in a laboratory or in nature.  Monkeypox has been the subject of NIAID’s gain of function research for many years and for nearly nine years, Anthony Fauci’s institute had been planning to engineer a highly pathogenic pox virus with a potential fatality rate of up to 15 percent.

Further, the data regarding Monkeypox is vague, incomplete, and contradictory and conflicts with many statements made by ‘public health’ agencies.  Some data refers to ‘confirmed’ cases, some to ‘probable’ cases, and some to ‘reported’ or ‘suspected’ cases.  We are right back to techniques used during COVID to conflate and frighten.

Monkeypox, now known as ‘mpox,’ declared a ‘global emergency,’ replacing Bird Flu as 2024 Election Variant

WHO has declared a state of emergency.

The Election Variant has arrived!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has convened its emergency mpox (yes, they no longer call it Monkeypox) committee, citing a circulating “deadlier strain” of the supposed disease, announcing that it is time to declare a “global health emergency.”

“The detection and rapid spread of a new clade of mpox in eastern DRC, its detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported mpox, and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,” said WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, during a press briefing Wednesday evening.

[“Dr” Tedros, a stooge for Bill Gates and the government of China, is a totally discredited political hack, as is the entirety of the WHO].

The CDC got in on the Chicken Little routine, blasting out a “health advisory” memo on the supposed Monkeypox (yeah, I’m going to keep calling it Monkeypox) breakout.  (See link for article)

Mpox Vaccine Maker’s Stock Price Soars After WHO Declares Global Public Health Emergency

Bavarian Nordic share prices jumped 17% in early trading today in Copenhagen, Forbes reported, after climbing 12% Wednesday when the WHO declared mpox a global health emergency following outbreaks in nearly a dozen African countries. Sweden today announced the first case outside Africa.

August 15, 2024
Article Excerpts:

This is the second time in two years the WHO has declared mpox a “public health emergency of international concern” PHEIC — pronounced “fake” — which is its highest form of an alert.

The announcement follows a declaration Tuesday by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention that mpox is a continent-wide public health emergency.

Last week, the WHO triggered the process to grant Emergency Use Listing to two mpox vaccines, although it didn’t name which ones it would list. The agency also invited manufacturers of mpox vaccines to submit an “expression of interest” for Emergency Use Listing.

The DRC, where the outbreak is concentrated and most severe, has approved two vaccines — Japan’s LC16 and Bavarian Nordic’s Jynneos, which is also marketed as Imvamune and Imvanex(See link for article)

**Comment**

  • A report published in November 2021 called, “Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats,” states that in March 2021, the Munich Security Conference partnered with the ‘Nuclear Threat Initiative’ (NTI) to run an exercise scenario involving a, “deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus that emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months…the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide.”  The scenario had the monkeypox outbreak emerging as a result of an act of bioterrorism in May 2022. The report’s recommendations:  “aggressive measures to slow virus transmission by shutting down mass gatherings, imposing social-distancing measures, and implementing mask mandates.”  Sound familiar?   I recommend reading this.

The 3 monkeypox vaccines as of August, 2024:

  1. MVA-BN – Jynneos in the US a live, non-replicating vaccine derived from the Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) strain of vaccinia virus and
  2. ACAM2000 a live, replicating vaccinia virus vaccine, can cause myocarditis, pericarditis and other serious side effects at high rates including death and fetal death, as the labels for both drugs indicate. The FDA’s medication guide also warns that people who receive the vaccine may spread it to unvaccinated people, who also risk developing vaccine side effects, including death.  Across all studies, a causal relationship to JYNNEOS could not be excluded for 4 Serious Adverse Events, all non-fatal, which included Crohn’s disease, sarcoidosisextraocular muscle paresis and throat tightness. Source
  3. The Japanese LC16m8 vaccine is an attenuated live vaccinia virus vaccine derived from the Lister vaccinia strain and lacks the B5R envelope protein gene to reduce neurotoxicity and has been linked to encephalitis.
  • The declaration is a huge money maker and grants the WHO authority to issue travel warnings or restrictions among many other powers.
  • This is the 8th ‘public emergency’ the WHO has declared since 2007.
  • Monkeypox, usually mild illness, causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled lesions.  It can be serious in those with weak immune systems.
  • In 2022 overall, 98% of infected people were gay or bisexual men, 75% were white, and 41% had HIV; the median age was 38 years. Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the people infected. Source
  • Officials are likely using PCR tests, which create false positive resultsWhile the strain responsible for the current outbreak, clade 1b, is more severe, only a fraction of cases (10%) have been lab-confirmed so far.  Go here to sign FDA petition for mandatory negative controls in Mpox and H5N11 PCR test kits.
  • The WHO states, it “appears to be spreading mainly through sexual networks,” and it has been detected in neighboring countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, with 100 “laboratory-confirmed cases of clade 1b” in total.
  • This important transmission detail is being omitted due to woke politics. Proponents state the name is racist so changed it to Mpox. Also, stating the reality that the original version of the virus only impacted gay men got you canceled and hurt Big Pharma’s bottom line so now MSM is presenting this as broader in its reach in the effort of being diverse and equitable.  So now, out of nowhere it’s an equal opportunity disease.

Important quote:

“Why would we start mass vaccination with a new product for which we know nothing about the safety profile when common sense mitigation measures can work?” she asked. “If it is sexually transmitted, use a condom or abstain from sex. If it can be transmitted through secretions, wash your hands and don’t touch people with clinical presentation.” ~ Dr. Kat Lindley, senior fellow at FLCCC Family Medicine and president of the Global Health Project

Well, because that would simply be too logical.

It would also deflate the globalist agenda that connects all the dots.
The WHO needs to go.

– Who funds them?
– Who runs them?
– Who elects them?
– Who supports them?
– Who holds them accountable?
– Who instituted them?
– Who is under their control?

“We Need Stronger Surveillance”

The WHO has declared Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove stressed the need for stronger surveillance!

Article Excerpts:

TEN questions that everyone should be asking:

  1. In previous outbreaks the vast majority of those infected were “men who have sex with men.” Why are the more recent outbreaks occurring in children?
  2. What is the evidence to support Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove’s claim that that “We do see new zoonotic transmission.”
  3. Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove clearly stated that there are many unknowns that must be researched. What is being done to clarify these unknown details regarding transmission and diagnosis?
  4. Has the Mpox virus every been properly isolated?
  5. Has the Mpox orthopox virus been proven to be the cause of the symptoms associated with the disease that is also called Mpox?
  6. Is it possible that the skin lesions seen in affected people could be due to other causes, such as previous vaccinations, exposure to toxins, compromised immune systems or liver disfunction?
  7. What are the details required to arrive at a differential diagnosis to ensure that the true cause of “Mpox” is actually a virus?
  8. What are the details (specificity, sensitivity and primers used) of the PCR “test” that is being used to determine confirmed “cases”? Are these protocols as flawed as those used for COVID-19?
  9. Have the available “vaccines” and drugs been properly tested to determine that they are “safe and effective?”
  10. What are the WHO’s official “temporary recommendations?”  (See link for article and video)

**Comment**

Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, is part and parcel of the problem.  She states there’s complacency at both the individual and government level.  She wants us to live in fear – continually and is ‘determined to really keep this marathon up.’  She hits the usual globalist talking points: lack of access to tests, drugs, and vaccines, the need for masks, social distancing, and vaccination, and that supposedly mis and disinformation is hampering efforts to mount an effective response, and the usual clap-trap.

Of course she doesn’t mention the banning of safe, effective, cheap drugs that work.
She also doesn’t mention the medical warfare used to persecute doctors who have saved lives using these banned drugs.

Of course she wouldn’t.  She’s a player.

Globalists outline world govt pathway: 75% population reduction, global truth commission, earth system currency, revised UN Charter

By Tim Hinchliffe August 5, 2024

Article Excerpts:

Unelected globalists want to rewrite the UN Charter to ‘articulate the rules of a World Parliment’ for ‘world citizens’ with binding legislative & enforcement powers.

On August 1, 2024 the Club of Rome and the Council for the Human Future published a report on a Roundtable discussion they co-hosted in July.

The report, “Roundtable on the Human Future: A World Call to Action on the Multiple Crises Now Enfolding Humanity,” says that “all human life could be extinguished” in the mid-to-latter half of the 21st Century due to climate change, overpopulation, new pandemics, misinformation, nuclear proliferation, and other perceived threats.

One solution proposed by Global Governance Forum executive director Augusto Lopez-Claros was “to boost the UN´s democratic legitimacy” by rewriting the UN Charter in order to give the unelected globalist body more power, authority, and jurisdiction over sovereign nations.

This document will be released in New York in September of 2024. Among the ingredients included:

  • To build on the concept of a UN of states embedded in the 1945 Charter to move to a UN of states and peoples through the creation of a Parliamentary Assembly, as a complement to the General Assembly and to boost the UN´s democratic legitimacy.
  • To create an Earth System Council, giving the UN system the capacity to pass binding legislation to protect our planetary environmental system and the common goods it provides, with necessary enforcement mechanisms.
  • To empower the UN to meaningfully advance disarmament globally and help create a conducive environment or sustained progress on nuclear disarmament and reduction of proliferation in other weapons systems.
  • To bring about a new system to fund the UN, that provides a reliable, depoliticized, independent revenue stream, not unlike that in place already for several decades in the European Union.
  • To reform the Security Council to make it more representative and to do away with the veto, which exempts its permanent members from the obligations of the Charter and is thus a practice deeply at odds with sound principles of good governance.  (See link for article & videos)

The UN Takes Step Forward to Create a ONE WORLD Government

by Martin Armstrong

August 15, 2024

Article Excerpts:

The power-hungry United Nations approved its first International Cybercrime Treaty despite significant objections from all the tech companies and human rights groups. This Treaty is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and will tear the world apart and further suppress human rights, which is the objective of the United Nations, just as we are witnessing with all of these hate speech crimes and imprisonment for merely criticizing a government as in Britain and Ireland.

This treaty they just proposed is called the Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes, pretending this is about cybercrime. Still, it is not – it is about censorship. The UN claims this is the only way to create peace by putting them in charge of the world – unelected, of course.

This Treaty will authorize electronic surveillance worldwide in the name of criminal investigations. It abandons every fundamental principle of global human rights, including freedom of speech and expression. It seeks to establish the most expansive jurisdiction for a crime, just as Britain is seeking to extradite an American for criticizing the new Labour Government in Britain.

It is most ironic that China and Russia are the two countries that will refuse to honor this tyrannical decree. What does that say for Western culture and values?

This treaty will now go to the General Assembly’s 193 member states. If this UNELECTED body of anti-democratic people accepts it by a mere majority, then it will move to the ratification process, in which individual country governments must sign on.

This Treaty is truly intended to provide a global legal framework to remove territorial jurisdiction for anything done on a computer.
Just read the text of this Treaty. There are ZERO such safeguards for a free Internet.

‘Medical Warfare’: Doctors Who Questioned COVID Shots, Promoted Ivermectin Lose Certification & Canadian Detective Suspended After Investigating Possible COVID Shot Link to SIDS

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/drs-pierre-kory-paul-marik-covid-shots-promoted-ivermectin-lose-certification/

‘Medical Warfare’: Doctors Who Questioned COVID Shots, Promoted Ivermectin Lose Certification

The American Board of Internal Medicine last week revoked the certifications of Drs. Pierre Kory and Paul Marik, following a two-year investigation into their promotion of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as treatments for COVID-19 and their statements questioning the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.

paul marik and pierre kory

Two doctors who spoke out about vaccines and alternative treatments for COVID-19 received notice that their medical certifications were revoked, while another doctor said her certification was revoked without her knowledge.

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) last week revoked the certifications of Drs. Pierre Kory and Paul Marik, following a two-year investigation into their promotion of ivermectin  and hydroxychloroquine as treatments for COVID-19 and their statements questioning the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

According to The Washington Post, the two physicians continued “to promote ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication, as a treatment for COVID long after the medical community found it to be ineffective.”

Kory and Marik are co-founders of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), which promotes alternative treatments for COVID-19.

Citing unnamed experts, the Post claimed the FLCCC “spread misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.”

MedPageToday quoted an ABIM spokesperson, who said the organization “does not comment publicly on the reasons for the revocation of certification.”

However, in a summary of the ABIM’s decision reviewed by The Defender, the organization stated that the doctors’ “conduct poses serious concerns for patient safety and undermines the trust that the public and the medical profession place in the meaning of ABIM board certification.”

In a press release, the FLCCC Alliance said it “categorically disagrees” with ABIM’s decision.

“We believe this decision represents a dangerous shift away from the foundational principles of medical discourse and scientific debate that have historically been the bedrock of medical education associations,” the press release states.

Marik told The Defender:

“The bottom line is we’re disappointed because we stand up for the truth. To censor science is to censor progress. Science is based on dialogue and people can have different points of view. That is the principle of science: it’s people having different points of view.

“We’ve never been in a situation before where physicians who have opposing points of view are silenced … It sets a really bad precedent that you can’t really challenge the status quo, and as we know, in medicine, there have been very dramatic changes based on changing understandings of science.”

In the FLCCC Alliance press release, Kory said, “This fight is about more than just our right to speak — it’s about protecting the future of healthcare. When doctors are silenced for questioning the prevailing narrative, we all lose.”

Kory and Marik participated in an ABIM hearing in May, but internist Dr. Meryl Nass, founder of Door to Freedom, told The Defender that ABIM revoked her certification without her knowledge.

Nass said she was blindsided by ABIM’s decision to revoke her license, which she said she found out about only when she searched for herself in the organization’s database of certified physicians.

Nass told The Defender:

“After the Maine Medical Board suspended my license illegally — even though none of my alleged transgressions met the statutory requirement for an immediate suspension — the board later found me guilty of things I had not done and continued the suspension … All of this with never a single patient complaint.

“Now I learn, by chance, that the ABIM has suspended me without ever informing me I was even under an investigation, which is illegal according to the ABIM’s process.”

Dr. Peter McCullough also faced similar difficulties with the ABIM over his positions on COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. According to MedPageToday, ABIM revoked his certifications in 2022 — although, as of today, ABIM lists him as certified.

McCullough told The Defender, “The ABIM is violating principles of equal protection, due process, rules of evidence and has gone ex post facto to find reasons to attack qualified ABIM-certified doctors who innovated and saved lives early in the pandemic.”

Science based on ‘different points of view’

Kory and Marik held ABIM certifications in internal and critical care medicine, while Kory was also certified in pulmonary disease, according to MedPageToday.

They were initially notified about the risk of losing their certification in May 2022. Last year, ABIM’s Credentials and Certification Committee recommended the revocation of their certification for disseminating “false or inaccurate medical information.” A hearing followed in May.

According to the FLCCC Alliance’s press release, Kory and Marik “tirelessly defended their positions.” However, despite “presenting over 170 references in a detailed 60-page response submitted in January 2023, the ABIM has chosen to dismiss these robust scientific contributions in favor of a narrow, ‘consensus-driven’ narrative.”

According to the summary of ABIM’s decision, Kory and Marik’s “statements about the safety and efficacy of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine” as treatments for COVID-19 “are false and inaccurate because they are unsupported by factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus-driven medical information.”

The ABIM also addressed the doctors’ positions on the COVID-19 vaccines:

“[The doctors’] statements about the purported ineffectiveness and dangers of COVID-19 vaccines are false and inaccurate because they are unsupported by factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus-driven medical information. …

“There is extensive factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus-driven medical information demonstrating that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and lead to better health outcomes.”

Marik questioned the board’s assertions regarding ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and the vaccines.

“What they do is, they cherry-pick articles which support their point of view and then they go on to say the vaccine is safe and effective. We know that’s completely not true. There’s overwhelming data to question both the safety and efficacy of the vaccine,” Marik added.

McCullough said:

ABIM never updated its members on important risks such as fatal vaccine adverse events, including myocarditis, nor failing theoretical efficacy necessitating boosters that skipped human testing altogether.

“Setting a new dark milestone, ABIM is decertifying highly qualified physicians for nonclinical reasons and ignoring the evidence for early therapeutics and COVID-19 vaccine safety.”

ABIM engaging in ‘medical lawfare’

According to the Post, Kory maintains a license to practice medicine in California, New York and Wisconsin, where “there are no disciplinary actions listed against him.” Marik has retired and his medical license expired in 2022.

Revocation of their ABIM certification “effectively prevents them from practicing at large hospitals and academic institutions,” the Post reported.

Marik and Nass outlined the difficulties of practicing medicine without certification.

“It doesn’t affect us directly, but it affects us indirectly because we’re being accused of committing offenses that are just not true,” Marik said. “The indirect impact to our reputation … it’s a slap in the face, basically, for all the hard work we’ve done.”

Accusing the ABIM of being part of the “medical-industrial complex,” Marik said, “They seem more interested in making money than in protecting physicians. There have been a number of lawsuits against ABIM, so they don’t have the best of reputations. But unfortunately, they are the main certifying organization in the U.S., so they have enormous power and leverage.”

“If I get my license back — a big if, without board certification, I would have great difficulty getting hospital privileges and collecting insurance reimbursements. In other words, I would be unemployable, though I could potentially work on my own if patients paid me directly,” Nass said.

In 2021, ABIM and the Federation of State Medical Boards collaborated to draft the statement used to discipline Nass.

Nass said organizations like ABIM are engaging in “medical lawfare.” She said they are:

Creating crimes that do not exist, using procedures that do not exist, to try and silence people like me. What did I do wrong? I read the literature and told the truth about what it said, publicly. The COVID vaccines are very dangerous. They don’t prevent COVID. Drugs can effectively treat COVID. And I prescribed those drugs and helped hundreds of Maine citizens. That was my crime.”

Canadian Detective Suspended After Investigating Possible COVID Shot Link to SIDS

baby's hand

A police detective in Ottawa, Canada is facing a disciplinary hearing for allegedly investigating a potential link between mothers who had received COVID-19 shots and their babies dying of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the Ottawa area.1

Detective Helen Grus was part of Ottawa Police Service’s Sexual Assault and Child Abuse (SACA) unit but was suspended on Feb. 4, 2022 for not complying with the police department’s COVID shot mandate.2 The detective’s responsibility included investigating criminal cases involving children, including newborns and infants, who die in sudden circumstances.3

After Grus was suspended by her employer in February 2022 for declining to get a COVID shot, she was then charged with “discreditable conduct” on July 26, 2022 for attempting to uncover a potential connection between nine SIDS cases and the COVID shot status of the infants’ mothers.4

According to reports, between June 2020 and January 2022, Grus allegedly accessed information about nine child/infant death cases to which she was not officially assigned. On Jan. 30, 2022, Grus also allegedly investigated an infant death case by contacting the child’s father to inquire about the mother’s COVID vaccination status without the lead investigator’s knowledge. After a complaint was filed against the detective, the Ottawa Police Services Board settled the case with the family, whose baby had died in June 2021.5

Detective Maintains That Investigating SIDS Cases Shots Was Appropriate Police Work

Grus maintains that she was acting on legitimate police business when she pursued a hunch that an unusual spike in local SIDS cases could be related to the COVID shots. She testified that in the days before being put on unpaid leave for declining a COVID shot, she told a colleague that the spike in SIDS “should be flagged and monitored.”6

The Ottawa Police Service’s case against Grus is that she violated the code of conduct by using police resources for an “unsanctioned special project” based on her personal beliefs.7 The detective denies that she violated police policy. It is known that Grus had voiced her concerns on the ineffectiveness of facemasks and the safety concerns of the COVID shots at her workplace.8

As a detective in the SACA unit, investigating deaths of infants and children five years old-and-under was part of her job but when immediate superiors forbade her from talking about COVID disease or COVID shots in early 2022, just weeks before the police vaccine mandate deadline, Grus reported her concerns to top ranking officials.9

Grus stated:

My bringing up the increased baby deaths is because babies lost their lives, families lost their babies—innocent families, loving parents, lost their babies. That’s why I brought up the concerning rise in (SIDS) investigations. What I stated is that we need to keep track of what’s going on.

With respect to Ottawa Police Service’s COVID shot mandate, Grus also testified about several officers who suffered adverse events after getting COVID shots and that high-ranking officers were aware of this prior to the mandate deadline. Additionally, she wrote an e-mail in September 2021 asking whether the police force would be liable for any negative health outcomes related to the COVID shots.

Grus said:

We were forced to take the vaccine to keep our jobs. So is it personal? Yes, because I’m losing my livelihood. But in the context of policing, I was an able-bodied police officer ready and willing to work. But I wanted informed consent. I had a right to that. And so I collected this information.10

Political Agendas May Be Affecting Police Investigations in Canada

Prior to the disciplinary hearings, Grus presented the file of her investigation on the SIDS cases to Professional Standards investigator Sergeant Jason Arbuthnot on May 12, 2022. She explained…

These two cases struck a bell suddenly that day because both those babies were sent home healthy. Both those mothers picked them up to feed them, and both of those babies collapsed and went limp in the mother’s arms. I don’t want more babies to die. Whether it’s vaccine-related or not, I want to try to find out why these little babies died. I’m not okay with babies dying and not getting any answers.11

Donald Best, a retired Toronto investigator said the case is an important one to show the world whether Canada is influenced by corrupt regimes whose political agendas are now affecting police investigations. He said:

This case is so important, and nobody gets that critical factor. She shouldn’t have been charged. I think they’re embarrassed that she is charged. But they’re doubling down because they must win. The whole institution circled around itself to protect itself against one person who has integrity.12

Prescription Drugs The Leading Cause of Death & Psychiatric Drugs the Third Leading Cause of Death

Prescription Drugs Are the Leading Cause of Death

And psychiatric drugs are the third leading cause of death

Overtreatment with drugs kills many people, and the death rate is increasing. It is therefore strange that we have allowed this long-lasting drug pandemic to continue, and even more so because most of the drug deaths are easily preventable.

In 2013, I estimated that our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer,1 and in 2015, that psychiatric drugs alone are also the third leading cause of death.2 However, in USA, it is commonly stated that our drugs are “only” the fourth leading cause of death.3,4 This estimate was derived from a 1998 meta-analysis of 39 US studies where monitors recorded all adverse drug reactions that occurred while the patients were in hospital, or which were the reason for hospital admission.5

This methodology clearly underestimates drug deaths. Most people who are killed by their drugs die outside hospitals, and the time people spent in hospitals was only 11 days on average in the meta-analysis.5 Moreover, the meta-analysis only included patients who died from drugs that were properly prescribed, not those who died as a result of errors in drug administration, noncompliance, overdose, or drug abuse, and not deaths where the adverse drug reaction was only possible.5

Many people die because of errors, e.g. simultaneous use of contraindicated drugs, and many possible drug deaths are real. Moreover, most of the included studies are very old, the median publication year being 1973, and drug deaths have increased dramatically the last 50 years. As an example, 37,309 drug deaths were reported to the FDA in 2006 and 123,927 ten years later, which is 3.3 times as many.6

In hospital records and coroners’ reports, deaths linked to prescription drugs are often considered to be from natural or unknown causes. This misconception is particularly common for deaths caused by psychiatric drugs.2,7 Even when young patients with schizophrenia suddenly drop dead, it is called a natural death. But it is not natural to die young and it is well known that neuroleptics can cause lethal heart arrythmias.

Many people die from the drugs they take without raising any suspicion that it could be an adverse drug effect. Depression drugs kill many people, mainly among the elderly, because they can cause orthostatic hypotension, sedation, confusion, and dizziness. The drugs double the risk of falls and hip fractures in a dose-dependent manner,8,9 and within one year after a hip fracture, about one-fifth of the patients will have died. As elderly people often fall anyway, it is not possible to know if such deaths are drug deaths.  (See link for article & references)

Antibiotics vs Herbs: One Doc’s Experience

https://www.treatlyme.net/guide/recovery-crystal-ball-of-odds-and-timelines

In my free Lyme Q&A Webinar called Conversations with Marty Ross MD, people ask me questions related to recovery. Here are some of those questions.

  • Do herbal antibiotics work?
  • Do prescription antibiotics work better than herbal antibiotics?
  • How long will it take me to recover from Bartonella, or Babesia, or Borrelia?
  • Can I recover from chronic Bartonella, Babesia or Borrelia?

Video Article

In the video in the top link, I answer these questions based on my extensive twenty year clinical experience treating persistent tick-borne infections like Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia using the best herbal and prescription antibiotic approaches. What I discuss is based on my experience. Unfortunately the research answering these questions is very limited or even non-existent.  (See link for article and video)

**Comment**

Please remember, this is simply ONE practitioner’s experience.

Dr. Horowitz recommends treating Babesia for 9 months to a year.  I agree with this and it was our experience.

Regarding Lyme disease, I believe it has more to do with how long you have had it as well as how many other coinfections and comorbidities you have.  The more coinfections and comorbidites – the longer it’s probably going to take – particularly the older you are.  Mold, MCAS, allergies, etc. all play a large role in this a – and are as important as the infection(s).  

For reference, it took FIVE years of treatment followed by 3-4 relapses necessitating treatment before we reached ‘remission.’  Maintaining  the immune system is imperative and that means balancing hormones as well as minerals, vitamins, etc.  I guarantee you WILL NOT get better if you live in a moldy environment or do not deal with these other factors.
