In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Janet Sperling, PhD, President of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme) and an accomplished entomologist whose research focuses on the bacterial microbiome of ticks across Canada. Janet’s journey with Lyme disease began when her teenage son was bitten by a tick during a family trip to California. His symptoms, starting with sinusitis and progressing to more severe illness, led to a long and frustrating medical journey involving multiple doctors, misdiagnoses, and eventually a clinical Lyme diagnosis supported by IGeneX testing.

Janet shares her personal experience as a mother navigating the complexities of Lyme disease, as well as her professional expertise studying common tick species in Canada.

Her research investigates the bacterial communities within these ticks, the role of bird migration in tick population spread, and the limitations of current microbiome analysis techniques.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Janet’s son’s Lyme disease story and the challenges of getting a diagnosis
  • Differences in tick species and their bacterial microbiomes
  • How environmental factors like bird migration contribute to the spread of tick-borne diseases
  • The importance of prevention and early intervention in tick bite cases
  • Why understanding tick biology is essential for public health policy in Canada
  • How CanLyme is advancing Lyme disease research

Lyme Disease Prevention Tips from Janet Sperling:

  • Avoid tick bites by using protective clothing and repellents
  • Perform thorough tick checks after outdoor activities
  • Identify the tick species and feeding stage if bitten
  • Consider tick testing when appropriate

Whether you’re a Lyme patient, caregiver, or simply interested in the science behind ticks, this episode offers a unique blend of personal narrative and cutting-edge entomology research.

**Comment**

I confess I have not listened to the entire podcast but from the notes, I’m thankful this entomologist is also blaming bird migration for tick and disease proliferation and not the accepted narrative of ‘climate change,’ which is based upon corrupt data, and which has been proven by independent research to be a mute point on these issues.  Further, more and more experts are squashing the ‘climate change’ agenda.

Similarly with Lyme and COVIDscience tribalism has led to mass climate censorship and big business.

The CDC’s VAERS Data Manipulation Exposed — A Masterclass in Deception

The CDC just tried to gaslight the American people with a stunningly dishonest analysis of VAERS death reports post-COVID vaccination.

Source: RogerHodkinson

The CDC just tried to gaslight the American people with a stunningly dishonest analysis of VAERS death reports post-COVID vaccination. Here’s the truth they don’t want you to see:

  1. 19,417 DEATHS REPORTED (as of May 2025) — the largest death signal in VAERS history. For context, pre-COVID, VAERS averaged ~400 deaths/year for all vaccines combined.
  2. The CDC’s Sleight of Hand:

– They arbitrarily excluded 5,000+ reports (no records, non-mRNA vaccines, or “not real deaths”).

– Then compared the remaining 12,849 deaths to “background rates” during a pandemic with historic all-cause mortality spikes.

– Conclusion? “Nothing to see here!”

THE PROBLEM? This is scientific fraud.

VAERS is passive reporting—Harvard studies suggest <1% of adverse events are logged. If underreporting is even 10%, the real death toll could be 100,000+.

No control group. Real science compares vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. Instead, the CDC compared deaths after vaccination to deaths during a pandemic—a meaningless distortion.

Autopsies? Ignored. Most post-vax deaths had no forensic investigation. Where’s the data on spike protein-linked clots, myocarditis, or turbo-cancers?

THE BIGGER LIE:

The same officials who say “VAERS can’t prove causation” just used VAERS to “disprove” causation—without a control group. If the system is too flawed to signal risk, it’s too flawed to claim safety.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

– Thousands of families are grieving “sudden” deaths post-vax.

– Doctors were threatened for filing VAERS reports.

– No accountability. Just a corrupt bureaucracy scrubbing data to protect a narrative.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The CDC’s “analysis” is statistical malpractice. They took a tsunami of red flags and tried to paint it as normal. We deserve real science—not propaganda.  (See link for article and video)

Inform Yourself About Chikungunya

https://jamesroguski.substack.com/p/chikungunya?

Chikungunya

They are at it again! Be prepared. Inform yourself. Be smart. Don’t “bend over” and just take it this time. Please post a link to this article in response to government and media fear-mongering.

 

This article is meant to be a resource center for you to properly inform yourself BEFORE the government, the mainstream media and the alternative media whip up a frenzy of fear-mongering around CHIKV (CHIKungunya Virus).

Please take the time to learn and prepare yourself in advance and don’t fall for the bullshit propaganda this time.

 

According to “experts,” “Chikungunya disease” is marked by severe joint pain, often leading to a stooped or bent-over posture, which is why it’s sometimes referred to as the “bending over” disease. The name “chikungunya” itself comes from the Kimakonde language of Mozambique and means “that which contorts or bends up,” reflecting the characteristic posture of those suffering from the disease’s intense joint pain.

Don’t fall for these lies:

“There is no cure.”

“There is nothing you can do.”

“There is a safe and effective vaccine.”

“Don’t worry, those chemicals we are spraying are safe and effective.”

Don’t “bend over” and take it this time. FIGHT BACK!

THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE IS FOLLOWING THE EXACT SAME GAME PLAN — DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BULLSHIT AGAIN.
Demand to see an isolated Chikungunya virus!!!

REMOVE STANDING WATER:

Ensure regular cleaning of the standing water in the gutters, buckets, playsets, air conditioning pans or any other place where mosquitoes can breed. Change the water in birdbaths and pools on regular basis to eliminate possible habitats for mosquitoes.

CLOTHING:

Keep yourself covered and minimize skin exposure. Avoid getting bitten which can be done by wearing long sleeves, socks and long pants. Wrap all the gaps in your clothing from where mosquitoes can even get to your skin. Trying staying indoors if and when possible.

White clothing can help repel mosquitoes, or at least make you less attractive to them, according to a study. Mosquitoes are more attracted to certain colors, particularly red, orange, black, and cyan (a blue-green color). Conversely, they tend to ignore colors like white, green, blue, and purple, according to Hawx Pest Control.

MOSQUITO NETTING:

There are an endless number of readily available options.

NATURAL MOSQUITO REPELLANTS:

Make use of NATURAL mosquito repellents both in your environment and applied topically to the skin.

Essential oils like lemon eucalyptus, citronella, and lavender, clove, tea tree, as well as other options like castor oil, cinnamon, and garlic can be used to make sprays or applied directly to the skin.

PLANTS THAT REPEL MOSQUITOES:

Grow plants such as citronella, marigold and lemon grass that contain essential oils and act as natural mosquito repellents. Place them near the windows and doors and see how they will actually shoo away the mosquitoes.

THE PREP ACT DECLARATION:

The PREP Act declaration regarding Nerve Agents and Insecticides:

The declaration states in section I the Secretary’s determination that there is a credible risk that the release of nerve agents or organophosphorus insecticides and the resulting organophosphorus poisoning or the release of carbamate insecticides and the resulting carbamate poisoning may, in the future, constitute a public health emergency.

The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to issue a declaration to provide liability immunity to certain individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims that meet the PREP Act’s definition of willful misconduct.

Using this authority, the Secretary is issuing this declaration for medical countermeasures against nerve agents and organophosphorus insecticides that result in organophosphorus poisoning and carbamate insecticides that result in carbamate poisoning.

The first amendment to the PREP Act declaration regarding Nerve Agents and Insecticides:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/12/23/2022-28013/notice-of-amendment


SUMMARY:

If you are harmed by any covered countermeasures employed against nerve agents and organophosphorus insecticides that result in organophosphorus poisoning, or carbamate insecticides that result in carbamate poisoning that was administered by a “covered person” under the PREP Act declaration, you will NOT be able to file a civil lawsuit seeking damages for any “loss” that you may have suffered due to the use of such “covered countermeasures.”

Mosquito fogging is a method of mosquito control where an insecticide is dispersed as a fine aerosol, or “fog,” to kill adult mosquitoes. This fogging is often done using truck-mounted or handheld machines that release the insecticide in a way that allows it to drift and reach mosquitoes in various locations. The insecticide used in fogging is often pyrethrin or a synthetic pyrethroid, which are designed to target the mosquito’s nervous system.

Organophosphate (OP) insecticides are a class of pesticides used primarily in agriculture and other settings to control insects by disrupting their nervous system.

The Climate Alarmism Grift is Dying

The Climate Alarmism Grift is Dying

Last week, the BBC reminded us that we have just three years left to drastically reduce all CO2 emissions, or we risk crossing the dreaded 1.5°C warming limit set by the Paris Agreement. A persistent feature of the degreed managerial class is their arrogant refusal to learn from their past flawed predictions. Dire warnings of climate catastrophe have shaped global policy, media narratives, and public perception, resulting in the waste of hundreds of billions of dollars on technology that does not work. Predictions by climate ‘experts’ of submerged cities, the end of snow, vanishing ice caps, and dead coral formations never materialize.

Thinking that highly credentialed Ivy League professors would use science and math to destroy the man-made climate change narrative was not plausible a year ago. Yet, in this new cultural zeitgeist created after the implosion of the Democratic Party, the impossible is now possible.

In a shocking display of academic integrity, two eminent professors published a masterfully complex paper that undermines the foundation of climate alarmism. MIT’s Richard Lindzen, Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Emeritus, and Princeton’s William Happer, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, published a paper titled PHYSICS DEMONSTRATES THAT INCREASING GREENHOUSE GASES CANNOT CAUSE DANGEROUS WARMING, EXTREME WEATHER OR ANY HARM.

Their message is simple: CO2-driven warming poses no danger to the planet, while the net-zero policies designed to reduce CO2 do more harm than good. It takes a paper of serious complexity to validate such a simple message.  (See link for article & unbelievable dire forecasts)

**Comment**

The authors state CO2 is enhancing life by supercharging plant growth and delivering bountiful harvests at unprecedented rates.

Well, we can’t have that.

We must dim the sun to extinguish all life on planet earth!

Climate activists reacted to the paper as expected: they want the authors arrested and jailedHow’s that for free speech?

I highly recommend John Stossel’s excellent video destroying climate change myths, as well as the longer documentary – Climate: The Movie.

‘Science’ wrong about ‘global warming’ for over 50 years but refuses to admit fault or reform.

Lastly, researchers are by trade myopic. They rarely look at the big picture and reality is far different than a test-tube.  Sadly, climate research is rife with this myopia.

For instance, a groundbreaking study from the University of Nebraska  reveals that cows are actually carbon negative and that they produce MORE oxygen than the methane and carbon they emit.  The pastures where they graze can capture more emissions than what the cattle produce & also offset methane.]  You have to look at all the pertinent variables, not just a singular entity.

Similarly to the deadly mRNA clot shots, it doesn’t appear to matter how many scientific papers come out or how many experts speak out – the narrative continues on unabated.
