In this episode, you will learn about groundbreaking work being done to move the needle in understanding the impact of Borreliosis.
About My Guest:
My guest for this episode is Dr. Alan MacDonald. Alan B. MacDonald, MD is a hospital pathologist by trade, and his world is microscopic images. He diagnoses disease daily based on the images from surgically removed tissues, blood smears, and microbiology specimens. In his private research, which he does at night or on weekends, he interprets images from diseased tissues. In hospital pathology, there are many texts which illustrate the image profiles of tumors and other medical diseases. Some of the reference materials do not provide a “perfect” image match to an individual patient situation.
New lessons, which come from patients which do not “match” the published image archive, are the subject of “case reports” which enrich and expand the knowledge contained in medical textbooks. Many of the images of “spirochetes” in textbooks demonstrate only the “perfect corkscrew” profile which leads a reader to “doubt” the legitimacy of other Borrelial forms such as the cystic or granular forms. Dr. MacDonald’s website is an effort to educate about the “forgotten” spirochetal forms which are really Borrelia and which exist in diseased tissue.

Cardiologist calls for an end to mNRA booster shots – as teen, 18, tells how her reaction to the jab saw her miss her Year 12 exams: ‘I’ve had 60 to 70 in my practice who’ve had similar reactions’
Sydney teen diagnosed with heart condition after first Covid jab
Monica Eskandar, required to get the jab to take her tests, missed her HSC exams after being diagnosed with pericarditis after getting the shot
Now top Sydney cardiologist Dr Ross Walker has called for a ban on mRNA jabs
He’s seen a rise in heart conditions over past 12 months relating to Covid jabs
He believes other Covid vaccines are ‘just as good’ as Pfizer and Moderna
A teenage schoolgirl has revealed how she had to miss her HSC exams after a mandatory Covid jab left her with an agonising heart condition for months.
Now a Sydney cardiologist has called for an end to the use of mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna, after seeing a rise in jab-related heart conditions.
Monica Eskandar, 18, was rushed to hospital with terrifying chest pains just hours after her first Covid vaccination in September last year.
Doctors later diagnosed her with pericarditis, a condition linked with mRNA Covid jabs like Pfizer and Moderna, which causes painful inflammation of the heart lining. (See link for article)
Unfortunately, fraudulent studies continue to be used to peddle the injections.
This study from Hong Kong comparing myocarditis post “vaccine” vs viral myocarditis is already being weaponized to exonerate the shots, and uses statistical obfuscation to downplay the fact the COVID shots are damaging previously healthy hearts.
THE MOST DEADLY PRODUCT IN MEDICINAL HISTORY — Dr. Peter McCullough
Dec. 17, 2022
Dr. McCullough, a cardiologist, as been an outspoken critic of the COVID mRNA experimental gene therapy injections and has testified three times in the U.S. Senate as well as in multiple state Senates on adverse reactions being seen. He states there is “no role for social media to censor scientific information.”
McCullough discusses the suppression of treatments, and the pushing of toxic remdesivir in hospitals, which the WHO advised against due to side effects (kidney and liver damage).
Yet despite the monkeys tumbling out of the barrel, dumb, dishonest arguments continue to be made pushing the clot shots.
A stunning pre-print study by the Cleveland Clinic published Monday at medRxiv shows that the gene therapy shots raise the risk of contracting COVID-19, with each successive booster increasing this risk. The unvaccinated now have the lowest risk of contracting COVID-19. While the increased risk was relatively minimal, the result is the opposite of how the vaccines have been sold and mandated by government authorities. The highest risk was for those who received more than three vaccines.
Important excerpt:
“The association of increased risk of COVID-19 with higher numbers of prior vaccine doses in our study, was unexpected.”
So they don’t lose their minds, censored and persecuted pro-freedom doctors have joined together to sing “The 12 Lies of COVID” in a Christmas carol remix.
Cases of myocarditis, diagnosed clinically by laboratory tests and imaging have been described in the context of mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Autopsy-based description of detailed histological features of vaccine-induced myocarditis is lacking. We describe the autopsy findings and common characteristics of myocarditis in untreated persons who received anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Standardized autopsies were performed on 25 persons who had died unexpectedly and within 20 days after anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
In four patients who received a mRNA vaccination, we identified acute (epi-)myocarditis without detection of another significant disease or health constellation that may have caused an unexpected death. Histology showed patchy interstitial myocardial T-lymphocytic infiltration, predominantly of the CD4 positive subset, associated with mild myocyte damage.
Overall, autopsy findings indicated death due to acute arrhythmogenic cardiac failure. Thus, myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Our findings may aid in adequately diagnosing unclear cases after vaccination and in establishing a timely diagnosis in vivo, thus, providing the framework for adequate monitoring and early treatment of severe clinical cases.
Heidelberg University Hospital Autopsy Examination Reveals 5 of 25 Deceased Likely Linked to Vaxxed
German researchers from the esteemed Heidelberg University Hospital Institute of Pathology led by corresponding authors Thomas Longerich Deputy Director University Hospital Heidelberg and Peter Schirmacher, acting chairman of the German Society of Pathology, director of the Institute of Pathology also at Heidelberg University Hospital, and president of the German Association for the Study of the Liver, recently had their investigation published in the journal Clinical Research in Cardiology titled“Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination.” The real-world analysis examined 25 individuals who died unexpectedly AND within 20 days of the COVID-19 vaccination.
Monitoring safety outcomes following COVID-19 vaccination is critical for understanding vaccine safety especially when used in key populations such as elderly persons age 65 years and older who can benefit greatly from vaccination. We present new findings from a nationally representative early warning system that may expand the safety knowledge base to further public trust and inform decision making on vaccine safety by government agencies, healthcare providers, interested stakeholders, and the public.
Methods
We evaluated 14 outcomes of interest following COVID-19 vaccination using the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data covering 30,712,101 elderly persons. The CMS data from December 11, 2020 through Jan 15, 2022 included 17,411,342 COVID-19 vaccinees who received a total of 34,639,937 doses. We conducted weekly sequential testing and generated rate ratios (RR) of observed outcome rates compared to historical (or expected) rates prior to COVID-19 vaccination.
Findings
Four outcomes met the threshold for a statistical signal following BNT162b2 vaccination including pulmonary embolism (PE; RR = 1.54), acute myocardial infarction (AMI; RR = 1.42), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC; RR = 1.91), and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP; RR = 1.44). After further evaluation, only the RR for PE still met the statistical threshold for a signal; however, the RRs for AMI, DIC, and ITP no longer did. No statistical signals were identified following vaccination with either the mRNA-1273 or Ad26 COV2.S vaccines.
Interpretation
This early warning system is the first to identify temporal associations for PE, AMI, DIC, and ITP following BNT162b2 vaccination in the elderly. Because an early warning system does not prove that the vaccines cause these outcomes, more robust epidemiologic studies with adjustment for confounding, including age and nursing home residency, are underway to further evaluate these signals. FDA strongly believes the potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the potential risks of COVID-19 infection.
Important excerpt:
Per FDA communication of these findings, FDA is currently not taking any regulatory actions based on these signal detection activities because these signals are still under investigation and require more robust study.
Conflict of Interest Statement
Co-authors from U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Acumen LLC, and 4 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services declared no conflicts of interests.

**Comment**
This well written article asks WHY it has taken so long for the FDA to print their findings. An in an October investigation for The BMJ, the FDA first disclosed findings in July 2021, noting the detection of four types of potential serious adverse events following receipt of Pfizer’s vaccine in the elderly (65s & over):
acute myocardial infarction
disseminated intravascular coagulation
immune thrombocytopenia
pulmonary embolism
But these findings were only posted on the agency’s website, with no corresponding press release, preprint, or journal publication. The article also points out a concern that the FDA’s analysis is already out of date due to the cut-off date of Jan. 15, 2022 (four months after the study was submitted to Vaccine), which means there’s now a year’s worth of additional data that has not been reported on by the FDA.
The webpage stated that the FDA “will further investigate these findings” and “share further updates and information with the public as they become available.”
But over one year later, crickets…..
The FDA finally just came out with the information, which claims it shows the system is working.
“How can the FDA seriously assert it’s supporting decision-making when, in the 20 months that they have been aware of the signal, there has not been a single press release or Dear Health Care Provider letter about the FDA’s studies on safety signals, and the label has yet to be updated?” ~ Peter Doshi, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and senior editor at The BMJ
These studies confirm what concerned doctors, researchers, and injured patients have been shouting about for two years. The FDA finally came out of its coma to notice, but per usual is doing nothing about it.
Dr. Peter McCullough, chief medical adviser for the Truth for Health Foundation, told the Epoch Times via email that the new paper:
“corroborates the concerns of doctors that the large uptick in blood clots, progression of atherosclerotic heart disease, and blood disorders is independently associated with COVID-19 vaccination.”
What’s truly disheartening is that this information should available BEFORE the shots were rolled out to an unsuspecting and trusting public who now must simply deal with the hideous aftermath. Please also note that the push for these shots initially was on the vulnerable, elderly population despite the fact it is common knowledge that “vaccines” are less effective in the elderlydue to a declining immune system.
Some of the worst medical and civil rights tyranny is occurring in health care settings like senior residential facilities. A common lunacy heard around the world is, “take the jab or lose your job.” Health care workers, the military, pilots, many schools, workers in companies with more than 100 employees, and many more were mandated to get the jab. This was also true for many senior homes and other institutions. People felt they had no choice. Many quit their jobs due to this. Further, Whistleblowers claim elderly patients were chemically constrained and physically forced to get the injections. Allegedly, caretakers lied to residents about the shot, and forged signatures multiple times. These claims have been corroborated by multiple care directors.
Now, the FDA finally admits that these very people who were often forced to get the jab have a statistical signal for blood clotting due to the very thing they were forced to get.
Lyme disease is the most reported tick-borne illness in North America. Lyme carditis (LC) is an early-disseminated manifestation of Lyme disease, most commonly presenting as symptomatic high-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) which resolves with appropriate antibiotic therapy. However, long-term outcomes of treated LC have not previously been described. We present a series of 7 patients (median 28 years, 6 male) with serologically confirmed LC treated with a standard protocol developed at our center including antibiotics and pre-discharge stress test to assess AV node stability.At a mean follow-up of 20.8 months, all patients were asymptomatic, had resumed normal activities, and were free of conduction abnormalities. None required permanent pacing. Our study supports avoidance of permanent pacing for LC if conduction is stable at discharge.

These patients were followed for a minimum of 12 months after hospital discharge and had no heart symptoms. The researchers state there is no protocol for ongoing monitoring of these discharged patients that that long-term follow-up should be further explored. I couldn’t agree more.
