LYME DISEASE ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION MEETS WITH FDA


BOSTON, MA (October 25, 2021) — Nonprofit grassroots organization TruthCures met with Food & Drug Administration (FDA) officials last week to discuss issues related to notoriously inaccurate Lyme disease diagnostic tests. The group’s executive director, Laura Hovind, and associate Lahra Tillman were joined by Carl Tuttle, an appointee to New Hampshire Governor John Sununu’s Lyme Disease Study Commission, and their legal counsel, a former federal prosecutor. Kenneth Liegner, M.D., a longtime treating physician, published author and renowned Lyme disease expert participated remotely to demonstrate the deficiencies of the Lyme disease diagnostic method and the harm it does to patients.


At issue are 27 years worth of FDA-cleared Lyme disease diagnostic tests. Lyme disease is a bacterial illness caused by the bite of an infected tick. TruthCures claims the diagnostics are wholly inadequate because they are designed to detect only a small minority of cases predisposed to developing “Lyme arthritis,” a less-severe manifestation of the disease. They cited published literature and historical federal meeting documents that indicate the sicker Lyme disease cases are immunosuppressed and rarely test positive by the criteria that have been in place for nearly three decades.


“We are extremely pleased with the FDA’s response so far and are encouraged by how quickly they understood the problem and began thinking of solutions available to them within the regulatory framework,” said Tillman.


In a detailed presentation, the group explained how Lyme disease researchers’ financial interests in patents for the various bacterial components of diagnostic tests and vaccines have been prioritized over public health. They also shared results of an independent analysis by a diagnostics regulatory expert indicating there may have been irregularities with the process by which Lyme disease diagnostic tests were relabeled in the late 1990s. “We are very concerned that patients were left out of the equation when changes were made to the testing protocol,” said Hovind.


The group requested the FDA’s assistance in investigating the manipulated diagnostic protocol and its far-reaching effects, as well as coordinating with other agencies to evaluate related accepted standards they claim are inadequate. “As a public servant myself, I applaud the FDA investigators’ efforts to understand and act on information provided by concerned citizens,” noted Amy Kissinger, a member of TruthCures’ board of directors. “We are confident in their dedication to do the right thing in terms of the regulatory component of our claims.”

Added Hovind, “Our goal has always been to expose the truth and clear the way for accurate tests so the millions suffering this devastating disease can get the diagnosis and treatment they need. This development should give them hope that someone is striking at the root of the problem, and change is on the way.”

No Lyme Disease in California? That’s a Misplaced Impression

No Lyme disease in California? That’s a misplaced impression

Oct. 25, 2021

By Raeena Lari

Lyme disease is the most common and the fastest-growing vector-borne disease in the country, and constitutes a significant public health threat, with  476,000 new cases each year from 2010 to 2018.

This is a zoonotic bacterial infection transmitted to humans by the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks, found in 56 of 58—or 97%—of all counties in California.

Ticks are arachnids that attach to humans or animals to feed on blood. They are called vectors because when they feed on a Lyme-infected animal, they transmit it to the next human or animal they bite. The primary infective agent of Lyme is the spirochete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi.

There is a misplaced impression that Lyme disease does not exist in California. In reality, tick season is year-round in California; a recent study found disease-carrying ticks near beaches, in equal rates to woodland habitats, in parts of northwestern California.

A single bite can transmit many diseases, termed co-infections, which makes the illness severe and complicated. The bite, unlike that of a mosquito, does not cause immediate irritation. In addition, nymphal ticks are the size of poppy seeds that are hard to detect.

Symptoms can be immediate or gradual

Some people get immediate symptoms (such as bone-crushing fatigue, fever, sore throat, migratory musculoskeletal pain, cognitive problems and sleep disturbances), while others experience a gradual onset of the same symptoms and descent into ill health. The myriad symptoms mimic many different diseases, earning Lyme the moniker “The Great Imitator,” making it harder to diagnose.

Lyme diagnostic tests remain unreliable and the classic bull’s-eye rash only shows in a subset of patients. Even when present, it may appear in a part of the body not noticeable—like the back of the head—or not recognizable.

Early diagnosis and treatment is key for a quick recovery, and that is where awareness can be life-altering. If left untreated, Lyme disease can affect all organs of the body, including the brain, nervous system (causing meningitis and encephalitis) and heart (causing Lyme carditis and sometimes death).

To increase awareness, Santa Clara County has promoted National Lyme Disease Awareness Month and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s online Tick Lunch and Learn Series on its Facebook pages. In addition, the Board of Supervisors passed a commendation in August 2020 to recognize the prevalence of Lyme disease.

I applaud Supervisor Dave Cortese (now State Senator) and the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors’ actions. I am confident that they will continue to bring attention to this important issue.

My family was exposed at a Santa Clara County park. The debilitating illness took us to 26 different doctors and specialists over an entire year, before a diagnosis was eventually made because of the widespread and mistaken notion that Lyme does not exist in California.

Let’s make this statewide

This needs to be extended throughout our state. Nonprofit organizations like LymeDisease.org and the Bay Area Lyme Foundation are working to raise awareness and support medical research. Their websites, as well as that of the California Department of Public Health, provide invaluable information including simple prevention strategies.

COVID and Lyme disease have many overlapping symptoms and similarities, creating the potential for misdiagnosis. In a subset of Lyme patients, symptoms can persist even after treatment, reminiscent of long-haul COVID. Long-haul COVID and chronic Lyme also have overlapping longer term symptoms such as extreme fatigue, pain and cognitive dysfunction.

We must recognize the struggle of millions suffering because long-haul COVID and chronic Lyme have become persistent infections for them. Our medical system needs resources and support to treat, cure and eradicate the diseases, otherwise the number of chronically ill and disabled people will continue to grow exponentially, triggering economic and social ramifications that will impact us all.

58% of Infant Deaths Reported to VAERS Occurred Within 3 Days of Vaccination, Research Shows & ‘This is Really a Giant Experiment’

58% of Infant Deaths Reported to VAERS Occurred Within 3 Days of Vaccination, Research Shows

In a new research paper published in the journal Toxicology Reports, author Neil Z. Miller found that out of a total of 2,605 infant deaths reported to VAERS between 1990 and 2019, 58% occurred within three days of vaccination, and 78% occurred within seven days of vaccination.

In a new research paper published in the journal Toxicology Reports, author Neil Z. Miller reports on the relationship between sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) death and the timing of vaccination, based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database.

SIDS is defined as the sudden and unexpected death of an infant that remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. Although there are no specific symptoms associated with SIDS, an autopsy often reveals congestion and edema of the lungs and inflammatory changes in the respiratory system, according to the National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics of the United States 1988, Volume II, Mortality, Part A, Public Health Service, 1991.

Prior to contemporary vaccination programs, SIDS — sometimes referred to as “crib death” — was so infrequent it was not mentioned in infant mortality statistics.

After the national immunization campaigns were initiated in the U.S. in the 1960s, for the first time in history, most U.S. infants were required to receive several doses of DPT, polio, measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.

Shortly after, in 1969, medical certifiers presented a new medical term — sudden infant death syndrome.

In 1973, the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics added a new cause-of-death category — SIDS — to the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

By 1980, SIDS had become the leading cause of postneonatal mortality (deaths of infants from 28 days to one year old) in the U.S.

As Miller points out in his article, the ICD category for vaccine-related death, or cause of death as “prophylactic inoculation and vaccination,” was eliminated when the ICD was revised in 1979 — despite the fact that this information would be useful in trying to understand the relationship between vaccination and death.

But Miller, a medical research journalist and the director of the Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute, provides an alternative route for establishing such a correlation — by observing the temporal relationship between vaccines and reported infant deaths, including SIDS deaths, in the CDC’s VAERS database.

Miller found that out of a total of 2,605 infant deaths reported to VAERS from 1990 through 2019, the majority “clustered” in close temporal proximity to vaccination — 58% occurred within three days of vaccination, and 78% occurred within seven days of vaccination.

Miller found the excess deaths within these ranges were statistically significant (p<0.00001), meaning the chance that this result is random is less than 0.001%.

The same type of clustering was present in the 1,048 reports of infant deaths (out of the total 2,605) reported to VAERS specifically as SIDS.

According to Miller, if there were no correlation between vaccination and infant deaths, one would expect to see an even spacing of deaths within the time range reported prior to vaccination —- not a clustering of deaths as Miller found.

Miller included a comprehensive literature review in his paper refuting the “official” claim that the SIDS epidemic was curtailed by having infants sleep on their backs — as recommended by the “Back to Sleep” campaign, initiated in 1992 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The subsequent rate of SIDS dropped by an annual average of 8.6% between 1992 and 2001. However, the neonatal mortality rate due to “suffocation in bed” increased during that same time at an average annual rate of 11.2%.

Other similar causes of infant death also increased significantly during this period, as reported by Miller. Further, from 1999 through 2015, the U.S. SIDS rate declined 35.8%. while infant deaths due to accidental suffocation increased 183.8 %.

Miller also affirms his main results from the paper (i.e., the temporal clustering of SIDS deaths with vaccination) through the discussion of seven additional peer-reviewed studies and two confidential reports.

On average, these authors found that substantial proportions of infant deaths occurred within one day (mean = 25%), three days (mean = 49%) and seven days (mean = 71%) post-vaccination, matching the results of the present study.

Mechanistically, vaccine injury has been tied to SIDS multiple times. Matturri et al. (2014) examined 13 SIDS deaths occurring within seven days of a hexavalent vaccine.  Analysis of the brainstem and cerebellum of the deceased infants showed brain edema and congestion in all victims.

The authors hypothesized that “several compounds and immuno-potentiation adjuvants of the hexavalent vaccine might easily go beyond the blood-brain barrier, which in the first year of life is still immature and quite permeable, inducing neuronal molecular alterations in DNA, RNA and proteins of brainstem neurons regulating vital functions, with consequent fatal disorganization of respiratory control in particularly predisposed infants.”

Specifically, these authors implicated aluminum-based adjuvants in the dysregulation of respiratory control.

Scheibner and Karlsson (1991) monitored infant breathing during sleep before and after the DPT vaccination, revealing an increase in episodes where breathing nearly ceased or stopped completely. These episodes, which continued for several weeks post-vaccination, were not seen prior to vaccination.

Despite the official insistence that SIDS deaths are not caused by vaccination, as Miller points out, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation (NVICP) is set up to compensate families of individuals who are injured and/or die from vaccine administration.

Death from vaccination is compensated with $250,000 for “pain and suffering” to family members of the deceased victim. Conditions typically leading to death that are considered “table injuries” to be compensated under the NVICP include anaphylaxis and encephalopathy or encephalitis.

‘Healthy babies just don’t die for no apparent reason’

Kari Bundy, who lost her son after his four-month vaccinations, said she’s always been “flabbergasted” at the denial of the medical community of the link between SIDS and vaccines. “For me, it was too obvious to even attempt to ignore,” Bundy said.

Bundy lost her third-born child, Mason, in 2011.

“A few days after his routine four-month vaccinations, my husband and I discovered his dead body in the middle of the night, laying on his side, his body still warm,” Bundy said

Mason’s autopsy came back “unremarkable,” aside from some thymic petechiae, which is the most common gross finding in SIDS cases at autopsy.

“I was assured time and time again that he had not suffocated,” Bundy said.

When Mason died, Bundy learned if you can’t pay for a funeral, you can’t have one. So a few months after Mason’s death, she founded a nonprofit called Mason’s Cause, to provide grants to cover funeral costs for families who had experienced the loss of a child under the age of 1.

“I never wanted any parent to experience this devastating loss and not be able to bury their child,” Bundy said. She continued running the charity for just under 2 years, during which time she worked with 94 different families who experienced the death of a child under age 1.

Of those 94 infant deaths, 87 died from SIDS, or from causes “unknown.” Of the SIDS cases, 81 — or 93% — died within seven days of routine vaccinations.

“When I realized SIDS seemed to be undeniably related to vaccines, I realized I could no longer dedicate my life to running a charity that would help bury babies,” Bundy said. “That’s when I realized I wanted to save babies by speaking out about the real risks of vaccination.”

Bundy, who works for Children’s Health Defense as translations coordinator, said she’s grateful for research like Miller’s because it shows what she and all SIDS parents already knew — healthy babies don’t just die for no apparent reason.

Dr. Ben Carson blasts COVID vaccinations for children: ‘This is really a giant experiment’

Excerpt from article:
“Plus, we don’t know what the long-term impact of these vaccines is, so this is really sort of a giant experiment,” Carson explained. “Do we want to put our children at risk, when we know that the risk of the disease to them is relatively small, but we don’t know what the future risks are? Why would we do a thing like that? It makes no sense whatsoever.” Dr. Ben Carson

FDA Rubber Stamps Pfizer’s Plan to Inject 28 Million Kids With COVID Jab: Committee Member States the Only Way to Know it’s Safe is After They Just ‘Start Giving it’

FDA Committee Rubber Stamps Pfizer’s Plan to Inject 28 Million Children 5 to 11-Years-Old

Oct. 26, 2021

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

I was going to have the headline to this article state that the FDA rubber stamped the Biden Administration’s plans to vaccinate 28 million children with the Pfizer COVID shot, but let’s stop pretending and state what is obvious to everyone: Pfizer is calling the shots in the White House regarding COVID-19 vaccine policy.

Unsurprisingly, the FDA Advisory Committee today voted 17-0 to approve the experimental Pfizer COVID-19 injection for children ages 5 to 11.

The panel was made up of industry insiders, including the infamous pediatrician, Paul Offit, who has stated that he believes an infant can easily be injected with 10,000 vaccines at one time.

He is the pharma-controlled corporate media’s go-to “doctor” spokesperson when it comes to childhood vaccines.

In a time when the corporate media still covered both sides of the vaccine debate, CBS actually allowed a report by then reporter Sharyl Attkisson expose the massive conflicts of interest that Offit has with childhood vaccines.

We have used this video many times over the years, and I think you might still be able to find it on YouTube, but we have uploaded a copy to our Bitchute and Rumble channels. This is at least 15 years old, maybe even older.

Another doctor on the committee that was considering whether these shots were safe enough to give to young children stated:

“We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it, and that’s just the way it goes.”

The FDA collected comments from the public regarding whether or not the Pfizer shots should be recommended to be given to children age 5 through 11, and according to Steve Kirsch, the Executive Director of the Covid-19 Early Treatment Fund, they counted over 139,470 comments posted AGAINST giving authorization to the shots, and could only find ONE comment in favor of the shots.

The link where the comments were collected is now offline. https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FDA-2021-N-1088-0001 (Update: we did find a link where you can view the comments submitted here.)

Steve Kirsch was also present at the meeting as a non-voting member of the public, and shared 30 slides with the FDA Advisory Committee asking 30 questions that needed to be answered prior to giving approval. Here are the first 10 slides he shared which are now a matter of public record, and he also has over 100 more slides in a .pdf found here

REGARDING CHILDREN

Injecting children with this experimental gene therapy, who rarely get COVID or transmit it, and have more than a 99.9% chance of surviving is the height of insanity. A team of Johns Hopkins researchers recently reported that when studying a group of about 48,000 children, they found zero COVID deaths among healthy kids, but the Centers for Disease Control just doesn’t care.  

A recent report by Public Health Ontario showed heart inflammation following these shots is significantly more prevalent in young people, with over 100 needing hospitalization for “vaccine”-related heart problems.  And a preprint study, showed healthy boys between ages 12-15 were 4-6 times more likely to be diagnosed with myocarditis from the COVID injections than they were to be hospitalized with COVID.

  A respected geneticist has issued a warning for young people stating,
“THE RISK IS HIGHER TO BE VACCINATED BY ASTRA-ZENECA THAN NOT TO BE VACCINATED. THAT’S IT. IT’S AS CLEAR AS THAT.”

Large U.K. study, the most comprehensive on the topic to date, backs up clinical reports that show children and teens are less likely to be hospitalized or face severe effects from the virus.

Finally, the WHO has seen the light and now states, “Children should not be vaccinated for the moment.” The WHO truly meant “for the moment” because 48 hours later it did an about face.  Seems our public health authorities flip flop more than a waffle maker.

COVID SHOTS ARE BIOWEAPONS

Numerous experts including Dr. Fleming, a  Cardiologist, Nuclear Cardiologist Certified in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with a Juris Prudence Doctor of Law, who is a Researcher, Inventor, and Author states in his book, Is COVID-19 a Bioweapon? A Scientific and and Forensic Investigation states that these injections are nothing more than the genetic code of the COVID-19 bioweapon. This book traces the publication and money trail of COVID-19; showing who is ultimately criminally responsible for the design and development of this weapon, which violates the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) Treaty, exposing those who have committed crimes against humanity. He also states that a “good” bioweapon doesn’t kill people but slowly demoralizes and harms them by causing “slow malicious diseases.”

Fleming isn’t alone.

  • Nobel Prize Winner Dr Luc Montagnier with numerous other scientists, states COVID has been manipulated and that components of HIV have been inserted into the viral sequence, perhaps in pursuit of an AIDS vaccine.
  • Dr. Lee Merrit, past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and member of America’s Frontline Doctors, states that COVID is the perfect binary weapon.
  • Dr. Mikovitz and Dr. Martin both discuss COVID as a bioweapon. The COVID-19 “vaccine” does not meet the legal definition of a “vaccine,” but it meets the legal definition of a “bioweapon.”  Further, Dr. Mikovitz states at least 50 million Americans over the next few years will die due to COVID injections.  That’s 15% of the population.
  • Karen Kingston (Pfizer whistleblower) confirms the COVID injections ARE BIOWEAPONS.
  • 5 doctors state the injections are bioweapons. The injections cause YOU to manufacture spike proteins – perhaps indefinitely – the very thing causing illness. Those getting the shots are now transmitting this spike protein to the unvaccinated.
