Letter From a Lyme Advocate

https://www.lymedisease.org/shirley-strong/

To my fellow Lyme fighters, I’m with you. Your pain is my pain.

By Shirley Strong

Dear Lyme Disease Doctors and Everyone Who Cares:

I’m reaching out to share something really important and close to my heart. This isn’t just about me. It’s about all of us who are fighting Lyme disease, and it’s about the friends I’ve lost along the way.

Yes, I’ve lost friends to this disease, and it hurts like nothing else. I’ve been fighting Lyme for over 13 years now, and it’s been tough. Not just the disease itself, but trying to get the help I need and seeing others struggle too.

The biggest problem we’re facing isn’t just the sickness. It’s how hard it is to get the right care without breaking the bank. I’ve been there, trying to make ends meet while knowing I need treatment I just can’t afford. It feels like if you don’t have the money, you don’t get the help. That’s not right. I’ve worked hard all my life, and when you need help the most, it should be there for you.

Not just about money

But here’s the thing – it’s not just about the money. It’s about losing people. Friends I’ve laughed with, cried with, and hoped with. They’re not just numbers; they were real people who had their lives cut short by Lyme disease. And every time we lose someone, it hits me hard because I know I could be next. That fear never goes away.

So, what am I asking for? I want us to do better. For doctors to really listen and help us. For everyone to understand that Lyme disease can destroy lives and families. And for some compassion from a system that seems to forget we’re human beings just trying to survive.

To my fellow Lyme fighters, I’m with you. Your pain is my pain. We’ve got to keep pushing for change, for better treatment, and for hope. We owe it to those we’ve lost to not give up. Let’s make sure our voices are heard. Let’s fight for a future where Lyme disease isn’t a death sentence or a financial ruin. We deserve better, and it’s time we get it.

It is my educated opinion that this moving forward will NEVER happen via government-funded research.  I think 40 years has shown this statement to be true and not simply opinion.  This means that advocacy groups still working with the CDC/NIH/NIAD, etc. are barking up the wrong tree and simply wasting time and money.

This may sound harsh, especially if you are uneducated about the sordid back-story and biased research, and trust me when I say I wish this wasn’t so, but alas it simply is what it is.

The only forward progress we’ve made is by independent researchers, often infected themselves, who look harder because their very lives depend upon it.

Greatest Medical Scandal in UK

Andrew Bridgen speaks to an empty, bought-out Parliament about excess deaths

4/18/24

“We are witnesses to the greatest medical scandal in this country in living memory, and possibly ever: the excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. Its causes are complex, but the novel and untested medical treatment described as a covid vaccine is a large part of the problem. I have been called an anti-vaxxer, as if I have rejected those vaccines based on some ideology. I want to state clearly and unequivocally that I have not: in fact, I am double vaccinated and vaccine-harmed. Intelligent people must be able to tell when people are neither pro-vax nor anti-vax, but are against a product that does not work and causes enormous harm to a percentage of the people who take it. I am proud to be one of the few Members of Parliament with a science degree. It is a great shame that there are not more Members with a science background in this place; maybe if there were, there would be less reliance on Whips Office briefings and more independent research, and perhaps less group-think. I say to the House in all seriousness that this debate and others like it are going to be pored over by future generations, who will be genuinely agog that the evidence has been ignored for so long, that genuine concerns were disregarded, and that those raising them were gaslit, smeared and vilified.

One does not need any science training at all to be horrified by officials deliberately hiding key data in this scandal, which is exactly what is going on. The Office for National Statistics used to release weekly data on deaths per 100,000 in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations—it no longer does so, and no one will explain why. The public have a right to that data. There have been calls from serious experts, whose requests I have amplified repeatedly in this House, for what is called record-level data to be anonymized and disclosed for analysis. That would allow meaningful analysis of deaths after vaccination, and settle once and for all the issue of whether those experimental treatments are responsible for the increase in excess deaths.

Far more extensive and detailed data has already been released to the pharma companies from publicly funded bodies. Jenny Harries, head of the UK Health Security Agency, said that this anonymized, aggregate death by vaccination status data is “commercially sensitive” and should not be published. The public are being denied that data, which is unacceptable; yet again, data is hidden with impunity, just like in the Post Office scandal…..”  Go you Youtube link for entire transcript.

Things are just as bad in New Zealand.

Journalist, Liz Gunn and leader of the NZ Loyal Party has been targeted by the New Zealand Employee Relations Authority and received a letter from a lawyer to take down whistleblower Barry Young‘s content about the COVID injuries and deaths or go to jail for months, face a 40K fine, and face a police raid where they will confiscate her equipment.  Scroll to the 5 Min mark to hear about Young’s details including the fact he will be in the Wellington District Court on April 23.   

She warns that she is the ‘canary in the coal-mine,’ and represents what is going to happen to everyone in New Zealand.  I would add – for the rest of the world if we don’t stand up & refuse.

Gunn also states she’s had an internal saboteur, those who mercilessly troll her work, and attacks even from within the freedom movement. The government itself has shut down the NZ Loyal Party’s bank account that she is a part of, and has required extensive amounts of paperwork stretching the already small voluntary staff.

Gunn has already been raided arrested (as has Barry Young) but both were released.

Daszak’s Emails & New Documentary on COVID Response

http://  Approx. 15 Min

New Lab Leak Details Surface

May 2, 2024

Emily Kopp, reporter for U.S. Right to Know gives an update about virologist Peter Daszak’s private emails which were exposed during a recent congressional hearing.  The emails show he worried about ‘gain of function’ coronavirus research being done in a BSL2 lab which doesn’t have adequate protections for air-borne viruses.

The COVID Lab leak/release, animal origin ping pong match continues.

If you remember, anyone who dared to bring up a lab-leak or lab-release theory was branded as a crazed conspiracy nut.  Further, the Vanity Fair report revealed how Anthony Fauci and former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins strongly pushed back against scientists who raised legitimate questions about the origins of the virus — questions that could implicate the NIH’s financial support for the non-governmental group EcoHealth Alliance and risky bat virus research in China.  Go here for details on why the lab leak/release theory had to be quashed.

Fauci and Collins have conspired together before to silence dissenters.

All of the virologists working on this were aware of and probably shared Daszak’s concern but complicitly remained silent about it and only pushed an accepted narrative that COVID was derived from the wet market and was of natural origin to remove themselves from any blame. Further, EcoHealth concealed COVID research data and more private emails exposed from a FOIA request detail how U.S. scientists defended Chinese colleagues publicly while privately expressing frustration due to lack of oversight.  

It’s important to remember scientists rely heavily upon government grants which were doled out since the 80’s by Fauci who determines who gets research money from NIAID’s annual $5 billion budget.
There’s a lot of money in research – particularly in ‘vaccine’ development and in dangerous ‘gain of function’ research.

An accepted COVID narrative was touted by ‘scientists,’ a bought-out mainstream media, mainstream medicine, professional groups, and medical journals, as well as global governments, and unelected ‘leaders’ all in lockstep.  In fact, Mark Zuckerberg recently came out and admitted the White House put pressure on Facebook to censor a lab leak theory.

The congressional hearing with EcoHealth Alliance’s Peter Daszak exposes both the fraud of Fauci’s funded illegal gain-of-function research, but also the fraud of Congress in yet another worthless hearing to keep you quiet. There is a mountain of evidence yet there is no justice.

Epidemic of Fraud: The Documentary Exposes the COVID-19 Response

Epidemic of Fraud concisely breaks down the scam that was pulled upon the world

A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR
MAY 02, 2024

By all metrics, COVID-19 was one of, if not the biggest medical disaster in history. Yet, unlike every other past debacle, there has never been a professionally done documentary of why this happened—instead, each production has simply focused on how many people were killed by COVID-19 (e.g., by interviewing doctors at the hardest hit hospitals in America).

This again is reflective of how much of what happened during the pandemic was ultimately a product of widespread censorship that was conducted to protect a powerful industry which places profits over human lives. However, while those tactics worked then, they are no longer cutting it because more and more of the public is waking up to exactly what was done to them as almost everyone knows they were lied to about the vaccines.

In turn, while propaganda is immensely powerful (e.g., if you repeat “safe and effective” enough times people will eventually believe it), because most people who were vaccinated kept on getting COVID regardless of how many boosters they received and many others developed severe injuries, no amount of propaganda can cover that up forever. For illustrate, numerous polls (listed here) have shown that:

  • Half of Americans believe the COVID vaccines are not safe.
  • Half believe the vaccines are causing a significant number of “unexplained” deaths.
  • A quarter believe someone they knew personally died from the vaccine.
  • 34% do not believe the vaccines are effective.
  • Around 7% experienced a severe side effect from the vaccine, and 34% experienced a minor side effect.  (See link for article)

Epidemic of Fraud

April, 2024

Award Winning Film Epidemic of Fraud explores the bizarre media, medical, and partisan political attacks levied against a class of ancient medications, told from the perspective of a former CNN journalist and Hollywood industry veteran. Why were the people who allowed the opiate disaster to go unchecked so eager to discredit a drug that is safer than tonic water?

Director John Davidson takes you into an audio/visual time machine back to 2020 to reveal the forbidden knowledge that our medical, academic, and political officials are desperate to hide from you.

Personally I respect experts on both sides of this issue and since I’m not a microbiologist or virologist, I simply present both sides for the reader to ponder.  Go here for more.

One thing I do know: Mistakes were not made – don’t let them get away with it.

Post-COVID reactivation of latent Bartonella henselae infection: a case report and literature review

Abstract

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is caused by Bartonella henselae (B. henselae) and presents as lymphadenopathy following close contact with cats. However, in context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, clinical manifestations of CSD may vary, posing new challenges for healthcare professionals. Here we describe a case of a 54-year-old male with painful left upper arm mass, which gradually resolved until he was infected with COVID-19. The mass then rapidly progressed before admission. Meanwhile, pulmonary symptoms including pleural effusion emerged simultaneously. The cause was undetermined with routine blood culture and pathological test until the next generation sequencing (NGS) confirmed the presence of B. henselae. We believe this case is the first to report localized aggravation of CSD after COVID-19 infection and hopefully, offers treatment experience for clinicians worldwide.

**Comment**

On a personal note: both my husband and I required Bartonella treatment for a relapse after COVID.  What the abstract does not mention is if this patient received the mRNA gene therapy shot which would complicate matters even more. Since his presentation was in January of 2023, he very well could have had multiple shots.

While the case report was about a severe Bartonella manifestation, please know Bartonella can present a million different ways.  Please read:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/04/24/human-bartonellosis-an-underappreciated-public-health-problem/

Still No Answers: Follow-up to Advocate Vaccine Meeting Hosted by CDC

Vaccine SyringeOn March 7, 2024 a meeting was hosted by the CDC that consisted of a small group of expert-advocates to develop the CDC’s understanding of the lived experience of Lyme disease. The goal of this meeting was to compile a list of individual questions to understand more about a future Lyme disease vaccine, and the VLA15 vaccine in particular, given it was the only vaccine candidate being evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials as of the date of this meeting. Pat Smith reported on this meeting in the President’s Blog – In-depth Synopsis of Advocate Vaccine Meeting Hosted by CDC. The following is a list of all the questions contributed by the participants of the meeting. These questions were shared with a Pfizer representative by the CDC on March 8, 2024. As of April 30, 2024, there has been no response by Pfizer. (See link for article)

Sadly, this is all too predictable for anyone who understands corrupt government public health agencies.

I mean, do you really expect the CDC to be transparent and answer probing questions?

If you are one of those who believes the CDC will come clean, please educate yourself:

I could literally go onto infinity with this.

To state I’m not a fan of the CDC would be the understatement of the year!
