Dr. Steere,

I would like to call attention to your quote below found on Mayo Clinic’s “Tomorrow’s Cure” podcast page:

“Lyme disease is challenging to detect given its ability to mimic other illnesses or appear asymptomatic altogether. “There may not be specific symptoms when the patient comes in that would tell them this is a vector-borne disease,” said Dr. Steere. “There may be symptoms that we commonly see with infection, or they may also be absent.”  Given this challenge, the development of better diagnostic tools is critical.”

As you know, serology cannot be used to gauge treatment failure or success which makes it the ideal tool for concealing a chronic infection. It sounds to me like serology was the perfect product to support the mantra, “chronic Lyme does not exist.”

It has been 50 years since you discovered Lyme disease in those cluster of children in Lyme, Connecticut and now you are finally admitting we need better tests??

Quote regarding CULTURE for Lyme disease @16:23 into the podcast…

“What we would really like is to have something that is truly associated with the infection itself and of course the best thing is to be able to identify the organism or at least some component of the organism by testing for this particular protein or the organism itself by culturing it which of course is the best way but very difficult to do in Lyme disease once late in the infection.” -Allen Steere

As previously reported, the CDC produced a positive culture in Lyme patient Viki Logan and from the 2018 Middelveen et al study Borrelia burgdorferi were cultured from the blood of seven subjects, from the genital secretions of ten subjects, and from a skin lesion of one subject. The cultures were subjected to corroborative microscopic, histopathological and molecular testing for Borrelia organisms in four independent laboratories in a blinded manner. Cultures from control subjects without Lyme disease were negative for Borrelia using these methods.

These examples are proof of chronic Lyme disease as culture is the gold standard for definitive diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infections worldwide but when it threatens the existing paradigm suddenly it becomes “not particularly useful.”

My Claim: A chronic relapsing seronegative disease does not fit the vaccine model so evidence of persistent infection (following the one-size-fits-all IDSA mandated treatment protocol) must be concealed/ignored at all costs.

Why is this proof of chronic Lyme disease despite extensive antibiotic treatment ignored Dr Steere?  Is the deliberate suppression of this evidence a crime?

A response to this inquiry is requested.

J&J Lead Scientist Confesses: COVID Shot ‘Not Safe and Effective.’ Reveals ‘Lack of Research’

https://okeefemediagroup.com/johnson-johnson-lead-scientist/

BREAKING: Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist Confesses J&J COVID-19 Vaccine Was ‘Not Safe and Effective,’ Reveals “Lack of Research” From Rushing to Release Vaccine: “People Wanted It, We Gave It to Them”

We didn’t do the typical tests,” said Joshua Rys, a Lead Scientist in Regulatory Affairs for Johnson & Johnson (J&J), revealed on hidden camera that the typical clinical process was abandoned for the COVID-19 vaccine, knowingly bypassing standard testing protocols under pressure from the U.S. government and public demand. He added, “This was just, ‘let’s test it on some lab models… and just throw it to the wind and see what happens.’”

He acknowledged that the public wasn’t informed about the shortcuts, asking, “Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?” Rys claimed, “People wanted it, we gave it to them.”

While public officials claimed the vaccines were “safe and effective,” Rys pushed back. “There’s no proof. None of that stuff was safe and effective,” he said, adding that the industry relies on a benefit-risk tradeoff to justify product launches.

Rys also pointed to government pressure through Operation Warp Speed. “The government is like, ‘We need help… You’re solving this problem,’” he said. “People panic, so they try to solve it in whatever way they think is good.”

According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson, “Even during a public health emergency, pharmaceutical companies are still required to follow strict protocols for clinical testing. For emergency use, companies must show that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use. That includes real-world safety tracking, independent advisory committees, and required reporting of any adverse events. These steps are in place to make sure public health decisions are based on solid science and strong safeguards — especially in emergencies.”  (See link for video and article)

None of this is new news other than the fact an undercover reporter got it straight out of the horse’s mouth.

It’s become beyond clear that these shots are not effective, do not stop transmission, are highly contaminated, should be declared ‘kill shots, and taken off the market.

Bill Filed to Repeal PREP Act & Strip Big Pharma of Legal Immunity

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-rep-massie-files-bill-to?

BREAKING: Rep. Massie Files Bill to REPEAL the PREP Act and Strip Big Pharma of Legal Immunity

The PREP Repeal Act (H.R. 4388) would END liability protections for experimental pandemic countermeasures like mRNA injections — and restore the right to sue for injury.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced the PREP Repeal Act (H.R. 4388), a landmark piece of legislation that would fully repeal the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act — the federal law that grants sweeping legal immunity to pharmaceutical companies for injuries caused by emergency medical countermeasures, including mRNA injections.

“The PREP Act is medical malpractice martial law,” said Rep. Massie.

“The 2005 PREP Act prevents people from holding corporations accountable for the pain and suffering they cause during Presidentially declared emergencies. Americans deserve the right to seek justice when injured by government-mandated products. The PREP Repeal Act will restore that right.”


What the PREP Repeal Act Would Do:

  • Fully repeals Sections 319F–3 and 319F–4 of the Public Health Service Act — ending liability protections for pandemic countermeasures.
  • Restores the right to sue under federal and state law for injuries caused by drugs, biologics, or PREP Act–covered products.
  • Applies retroactively to pending lawsuits and appeals.
  • Rescinds unused federal funds from the PREP Act injury compensation fund.
  • Includes a severability clause to ensure the bill survives court challenges.

The PREP Repeal Act could be the single most important health freedom bill in Congress. It would dismantle a key pillar of the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, end blanket immunity for vaccine manufacturers, and bring long-overdue accountability for harm.

Supporting this bill is essential to restoring integrity and accountability in public health.

EPA To Appeal Fluoride Lawsuit Despite Study Showing it Lowers IQ

UPDATE: Go here to take action:   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/community/tell-ag-bondi-and-epa-administrator-zeldin-to-drop-epas-appeal-in-the-decision-against-fluoride/

Your tax dollars at work……

https://fluoridealert.org/content/epa-to-appeal-fluoride-lawsuit-on-july-18/

When the US district court ruled in our favor last September, it deemed fluoridated water an “unreasonable risk” to human health due to its neurotoxicity. The judge pointed out the scope of the potential harm:

“The size of the affected population is vast. Approximately 200 million Americans have fluoride intentionally added to their drinking water at a concentration of 0.7 mg/L…. Approximately two million pregnant women, and over 300,000 exclusively formula-fed babies are exposed to fluoridated water.” [p. 76]

Ever since the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) petitioned the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prohibit the use of fluoridation chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in 2016, our goal has been to protect the public as quickly as possible. We understand that every day, hundreds of thousands of children are experiencing unnecessary life-long and potentially life-altering brain impairment due to artificial fluoridation schemes. Countless others are experiencing side-effects to their liver, kidneys, endocrine system, bones, and much more.

Unfortunately, the EPA has spent the last 9-years working against our efforts, battling FAN in court and choosing to delay the legal process at every opportunity. Since filing a Notice of Intent to Appeal just days before the January 2025 deadline to do so, the EPA requested, and was granted, four deadline extensions to submit a brief with their arguments, delaying the process an additional 3-months. They stated that the previous and current Solicitor Generals had not approved or authorized an appeal.

According to FAN attorney Michael Connett, the EPA has now received approval from Solicitor General John Sauer and plans to file their appeal on July 18, 2025. Michael Connett wrote:

“After several extensions, the Trump Administration has decided to appeal the federal court decision ordering EPA to address the risk posed by water fluoridation. EPA will be filing its appeal next Friday, July 18.

Rather than use the court’s decision as an opportunity to finally end water fluoridation (as most of Europe has already done), the EPA will spend its time legally challenging the court’s order. And it won’t be alone. The American Chemistry Council (a trade organization that represents the chemical industry) has just filed a motion asking for permission to file a brief. And so has the American Fluoridation Society, one of the most noxious lobbyist groups pushing fluoridation across the US.

The decision to appeal the court’s order was not made by the HHS or Secretary Kennedy. It was made by the Solicitor General of the Department of Justice, who reports to Pam Bondi and the White House. For his part, Secretary Kennedy has been clear that states should end their water fluoridation programs (as Florida and Utah have recently done), and that CDC will be revising its anachronistic recommendations, which would be a major development. The HHS does not, however, have the authority to ban fluoridation.

Only the EPA has this power, and it has decided, for now, to forego its historic opportunity (as provided by the court’s decision) to exercise it.

Our lawsuit against the EPA will thus continue, and will now be before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I had hoped this would not be necessary, but we are ready and prepared to stand up to EPA’s challenge.”

The appeal will be decided by a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal process generally takes 6-12 months to resolve, although there is no guarantee of that short of a time frame. While some cases are decided based exclusively on written documents, some cases are selected for short oral arguments before a court panel. With most cases, the court of appeals decision is the final ruling unless the parties ask the US Supreme Court to review it or the case is sent back to the trial court for additional proceedings.

FAN will share the EPA’s written arguments and our response when they’re filed.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced in April that the EPA will be using the Safe Drinking Water Act’s six-year-review process to “expeditiously review new scientific information on potential health risks of fluoride in drinking water,” adding that “When this is completed, we will have an updated foundational scientific evaluation that will inform the agency’s future steps,” which will likely include a new maximum contaminant level (MCL) and maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG), which limit the levels of potentially harmful contaminants–such as fluoride–that water treatment operators can have in public water supplies.

Only time will tell if the EPA’s upcoming review will have any bearing whatsoever on the EPA’s appeal over the coming months.

To: Cathy Wurzer,

Here are additional facts you are probably not aware of…

It is believed that Lyme disease was pigeonholed into its current status by the two principal investigators of the previous Lyme disease vaccines as these investigators conceptualized a disease that would enable vaccine development.

A preventive vaccine for Lyme disease would not satisfy the FDA if a chronic persistent infection and seronegative disease exist. Dr. Gary Wormser, lead author of the one-size-fits-all IDSA Lyme treatment guideline (which matches the conceptualized disease) was the principal investigator of Connaught’s Lyme vaccine which never made it to market. This is a flagrant conflict of interest. Have we been dealing with an antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug purposely concealed to promote vaccine development?

Wormser received Grant# R01CK00015201 from the CDC totaling 1.5 million to produce the following junk science: (It is no secret that the CDC is in the shot business)
 
Subjective symptoms after treatment of EARLY Lyme disease.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20102996

Gary Wormser, New York Medical College

(Financed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control)

RESULTS: 

“At 12 months after enrollment, only 5 (2.2%) of 230 evaluable patients reported new or increased symptoms, and in none of the patients were these symptoms of sufficient severity to be functionally disabling”

_____________________________

Summary of Wormser’s study: Anyone experiencing symptoms after the one-size-fits-all treatment approach is just experiencing nothing more than the “aches and pains of daily living.

Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) after early treatment and untreated Lyme of months, years or decades are two entirely different disease states; the latter being ignored for three decades. Patients who have had a prolonged exposure to the pathogen are almost always incapacitated. So basically, Wormser’s results are then assumed to apply to the entire patient population; in other words, Lyme is no big deal which has wrongly influenced our nation’s response to this serious life-altering health threat. The research into how Lyme disables should have been completed by now but the misclassification of Lyme as a simple nuisance disease (hard to catch and easily treated) has paralyzed the response to this runaway plague. Purposely avoiding the advanced stage of disease hides the horribly disabled and anyone unable to see this is somewhat naïve.

When Wormser was appointed to the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group 12,393 angry individuals signed the petition to have him removed.

Stalking Dr. Steere

https://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/17/magazine/stalking-dr-steere.html

By David Grann   June 17, 2001

Last year, Dr. Allen Steere, one of the world’s most renowned medical researchers and rheumatologists, began to fear patients. It was not so much the ones he had treated, though he occasionally had to worry about them too, but the ones who had started to call his office, threatening him, claiming he was responsible for their suffering. They insisted that he was denying them treatment for an acute form of chronic Lyme disease, a strand of the ordinarily more modest infection that they believed slipped into the bloodstream undetected and remained there for years, causing joint pain, chronic fatigue, suicidal depression, paralysis and even death. Affirming their diagnoses were a growing number of patient advocacy groups, practitioners and psychiatrists who argued that the disease had become a full-scale epidemic, a modern-day plague crippling thousands of Americans.

Continued…

What I have shared here is just a fraction of the deliberate mismanagement uncovered in the fifteen years that I have studied the mishandling of Lyme disease.

None of this of course is mentioned in your Tomorrow’s Cure article.
