Lyme Disease: The Silent Pandemic

Updated: Jul 21, 2020

Lyme disease is the other pandemic that has been ignored. Tick season and an increase in Lyme disease cases in the next few months will be difficult to discern from COVID-19. Plus, many hospitals have reported running out of doxycycline during COVID-19, which is the number one medication that is used for lyme disease… All of this will skyrocket cases of lyme and make it even harder to treat and diagnose.

· Lyme Disease is a silent pandemic

· Estimates suggest that over 1 million people suffer from chronic Lyme disease

While the county races to find a cure for COVID-19 in record time, lyme disease treatment and testing lag behind in comparison.

We are living through what many would consider our first real pandemic in our lifetime. However, I would argue that we have been in the midst of a global epidemic of Lyme disease for over twenty years.

Lyme disease has been underreported and misunderstood since the first case was diagnosed in 1975 in Old Lyme, CT. While we watch the rapid scientific discoveries come to light regarding COVID-19, I become more aware of the paucity of new data for Lyme disease.

In a matter of months, we have seen a rapid response to the development of tests for COVID-19 PCR and antibodies (with room for improvement), but in the 39 years since the bacteria that causes Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) was identified, we are still incredibly behind in diagnostic testing, as well as treatment strategies and prevention.

While we are engaged in the battle with one infectious disease, we have the opportunity to reflect on other infectious diseases, specifically Lyme disease and co-infections, such as Babesia, Bartonella and other tick-borne infections. Tick-borne infections are on the rise and increasing exponentially with some research indicating that there are approximately 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease each year.

This increase in cases is due to a number of factors. The tick population, as a whole, has exploded as a result of global temperature increases, which in the last few years has led to shorter winters that allow adult ticks to continue to thrive. In addition, ticks have expanded their range as their hosts, the white-footed mouse and deer infiltrate into more heavily populated areas.

Every year, as the number of ticks increase, so do the number of diseases that each tick can carry. Research from July to October 2019 in upstate New York showed that 32% of the ticks carried at least one infection, primarily Lyme disease. This number was higher than expected. 3% of the ticks also carried multiple diseases or co-infections.

Each tick-borne infection carries their own risks. Some are deadly, like Powassan, some present acutely but are easily treated if found early, such as Ehrlichiosis, and others vary dramatically in their presentation and ease of treatment. The reality is that with Lyme disease, many patients that are infected are diagnosed and treated early, can make a full recovery.

However, about 10 to 20% of patients may have persistent symptoms that become chronic. There is very little data about chronic lyme disease and many believe that these patients have PTLDS (post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome), which implies that the patient’s symptoms are due to something other than continued infection. Similarly, COVID-19 seems to cause persistent or relapsing symptoms in some patients long after the initial infection.

Understanding our immune system’s response to one infection might, in fact, benefit our understanding of others.

People are justifiably fearful about getting infected with COVID-19. It’s a new virus. We don’t know that much about it, but it seems that every day we slowly gain insight into how this virus works. What is most astonishing is the tremendous variability in presentations that patients with COVID-19 have. No two patients are alike.

We are seeing some patients with mild respiratory symptoms and others with severe symptoms requiring intubation. We are seeing patients present with large blood clots, like pulmonary embolisms or strokes. We are seeing patients with other vascular symptoms, such as “COVID toes.” Some patients have gastrointestinal symptoms. Fever was initially thought to be a hallmark feature of the viral infection, but the data shows that less than 50% of patients with COVID-19 develop a fever at presentation.

The medical field is starting to understand the importance of keeping an open mind and that “no two patients are alike.” This approach sounds incredibly familiar to those of us who treat patients with Lyme disease, but unfortunately, it has not necessarily been embraced by the medical establishment until now.

Lyme disease is similarly inconsistent.

Lyme can present early with classic symptoms of a bull’s eye rash, fever, headache and muscle aches but less than 50% of patients present in this manner and even when there is a rash it often doesn’t resemble a bull’s eye. Many patients don’t even remember getting bitten by a tick, so Lyme disease can go undetected during the early stages until it infects major organs. It can damage the heart, the nervous system, joints, and many other parts of the body.

Lyme is a multisystemic disease with great variability that is not often recognized by doctors which, unfortunately, leaves many patients without an accurate diagnosis and without proper treatment. COVID-19 also causes multisystemic inflammation, but this phenomenon has been well accepted by medical professionals.

You don’t see COVID-19 patients being stigmatized as Lyme patients often are. Lyme disease can cause debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, joint pain, and brain fog, and yet on the outside these patients can look completely normal. This leads those around them, including their doctors to doubt the severity of their illness. They may be labeled as “crazy.” We often refer to diseases like Lyme as invisible illnesses, because they are invisible on the outside but devastating to the patient on the inside.

This is the spring when the trees are blooming, the grass is growing, and the ticks are out in droves, raising the concern for the potential of a significant rise in Lyme disease cases. This year might, in fact, be worse than previous years due to the relatively warm winter, which allowed ticks to continue thriving. I believe SARS-COV-2 might play an even larger role in the potential increased incidence of Lyme disease. While we remain isolated at home and practice social distancing, the beautiful weather will send more people outdoors. Some will stay in their backyard and others will venture out onto hiking trails. Some have new puppies or dogs that need to be exercised outdoors and others will embrace growing their own food and gardening.

What precautions are people taking before going outside? I know many will don masks in case they run into other people. I think some people will remember to put on sunscreen or wear a hat to prevent a sunburn.

How many people will remember to protect themselves from insect and tick bites with insect repellant?

How many will remember to do tick checks when they come indoors?

I fear that our shift towards COVID-19 prevention may shift the focus away from Lyme disease prevention. This could lead to an escalation in tick bites and new infections.

There is real danger from getting bitten by a tick. There is, no doubt, real danger from getting infected with SARS-COV-2, too. Both pose serious risks and both present challenges to treatment. For months preceding the pandemic, we had been seeing an increasing number of drug shortages. Certainly, since the pandemic, this situation is worse. As soon as a drug is found to have activity against COVID-19, people begin to stock-pile and the supply dwindles quickly.

Unfortunately, some of these drugs that are in limited supply are used as first and second-line treatment against Lyme and co-infections, such as doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine. Lyme disease that is not adequately treated can leave long lasting, chronic sequelae that may be irreversible. This is not acceptable. Why? Because it is not acceptable to watch people suffer and potentially die from infections that are treatable just because the medications are not available due to manufacturing issues and stockpiling.

Lastly, as we start to see a rise in Lyme disease, not only will we have great difficulty with treatment, but I suspect diagnosis may be delayed due to the overlap in symptoms with COVID-19 in the early stages. I urge everyone to be on alert. Check yourself, your children and your pets for ticks. Use appropriate insect repellants but also use caution avoiding heavily wooded areas, areas with high grass and shrubs, leaf piles and wood piles, and other high-risk areas. Alert your doctor if you get a tick bite or develop fever, achiness, headache or other non-specific symptoms. Of course, it could be COVID-19, but it could also be something else.

THE SOLUTION:

We cannot ignore other potentially dangerous conditions and we must not assume that everything is COVID-19. I strongly urge doctors to keep Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections on their differential diagnosis list. While our country, our scientists and our medical professionals work towards control of the COVID-19 pandemic, let us not forget the silent pandemic of Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is found in every state in the U.S. and every continent in the world, except for Antarctica. The incidence and prevalence of the infection increases each year. Based on the assumption that at least 20% of patients experience treatment failure, we currently have over 1 million people in the U.S. with chronic Lyme disease and this does not include many who are undiagnosed, yet suffer the debilitating consequences.

Despite these growing numbers, naysayers still believe that Lyme is very easily treated and not a significant public health problem. That couldn’t be further from the truth. There are very loud voices championing Lyme disease research and education and yet their voices are muffled by those that don’t recognize that we are dealing with a global health issue that is expanding its reach every year.

Once we gain control over the immediate COVID-19 pandemic, I truly hope we use what we have learned and apply the same sense of medical urgency to Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections.

The destruction of Covid-19 is visible. The destruction and multisystemic effects of lyme disease is not. Just because you cannot see the destruction, does not mean it is not there. It is time we treat invisible illness with as much urgency as we treat visible illness in this country.

The economic impact of the effects of chronic lyme disease.

Lyme disease costs approximately $1.3 billion each year in direct medical costs in the United States, but this is likely a gross underestimate that doesn’t consider the full economic and societal costs. Some have proposed the cost to be closer to the $50- to $100-billion-dollar range. The numbers are even more staggering when we look at individual patients and what the cost is to them, not just financially but also in quality of life.

On average, Lyme patients might see 10-30 or more doctors before being properly diagnosed. Some of the costs might initially be covered by their insurance but as time goes on and their condition worsens, patients often need to do more extensive testing and see doctors outside their insurance plan, who have a specific interest and passion in treating complex, chronically ill patients. Lyme disease is a complex, multisystemic illness that is difficult to detect due to the lack of sensitive test and the way it evades the immune system, wreaking havoc before it’s discovered. The current medical model does not allow doctors to spend enough time with patients, which leads to misdiagnoses and even false labeling, that is not easily reversed.

Because the symptoms are so diverse and involve so many different parts of the body, including the nervous system and the brain, doctors have a hard time piecing the symptoms together.

Unfortunately, these patients are at risk for being labeled with a functional psychiatric disorder like anxiety, depression or OCD, and are often sent for psychiatric evaluation, which further delays them from receiving proper treatment for Lyme disease. We know that Lyme can cause neuropsychiatric illnesses, but this needs to be recognized as a consequence of the Lyme and treated as such.

This article was written before the good news of successful COVID treatments.  HCQ, zinc, azithromycin, and Ivermectin have all shown fantastic results, along with numerous natural treatments.  Doctors have been writing about their clinical success using these treatments for months and months but now have clinical studies supporting their success.

The ‘powers that be’ continue to malign, deny, and censor this important information.
The reason for this censorship is quite simple.  Vaccines are not needed if treatments exist.

Yes, Your Employer Can Require You To Be Vaccinated

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/business/covid-vaccine-employer-rules.html?

Companies can require workers entering the workplace to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to recent U.S. government guidance.

By Jenny Gross

As many Americans prepare to head back to the office, companies are hammering out policies on the extent to which they will require, or strongly encourage, employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The bottom line is that companies are legally permitted to make employees get vaccinated, according to recent guidance from the federal agency that enforces workplace discrimination laws, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  (See link for article)

_____________________

**Comment**

  • Employers can require employers to get vaccinated and offer incentives to do so.
  • Federal laws do not prevent companies from requiring employees to provide documentation or other confirmation of vaccination, though they must keep that information confidential. 
  • If an employee will not get vaccinated because of a disability or a sincerely held religious belief, the agency said, he or she may be entitled to an accommodation that does not pose an “undue hardship” on the business. 
  • The guidelines recommend employers to keep in mind that some individuals or demographic groups may face more barriers to receiving a vaccine than others.
  • Private companies, government entities such as school boards and the Army can require vaccinations for entry, service and travel, a practice that follows a 1905 Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts that allowed states to require people to be vaccinated against smallpox. That decision paved the way for public schools to require proof of vaccinations from students.
  • The reason this isn’t a HIPAA violation is because it covers what your health care provider can share with others, rather than employers and what they can ask for. 
  • In South Carolina, state agencies can encourage employees to get vaccinated, but they cannot require them to be. They also cannot require proof of vaccination status as a condition for receiving government services or gaining access to any government buildings, following an executive order.
  • Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas signed a law prohibiting businesses or government entities in the state from requiring digital proof of vaccination, joining states such as Arkansas and Florida.

Education: COVID-19 Vaccines

Explore key questions and answers about the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

Physicians for Informed Consent Updates Its Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Risk Statement for Healthcare Providers and Families

Educational document highlights Pfizer clinical trial finding that 1 in 9 vaccinated adolescents suffered a severe adverse event

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. – June 8, 2021

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, recently published an update of its Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Risk Statement, which includes key questions and answers about the clinical trial data. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is the first COVID-19 vaccine to receive expanded emergency use authorization (EUA) for adolescents; however, the vaccine is still not FDA-approved.

The PIC Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS) answers important questions such as:

• How effective is the vaccine in children, adults, and the elderly?
• Is the vaccine effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths?
• Is the vaccine effective and safer than the COVID-19 virus?
• Does the vaccine prevent the spread of the virus?

The updated document indicates that for children 12 to 15 years of age, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial found the

  • overall incidence of severe adverse events during the two-month observation period to be 10.7% or 1 in 9 in the vaccinated group
  • the incidence of COVID-19 in the unvaccinated group was 1.6%; therefore, there were almost seven times more severe adverse events observed in the vaccinated group than there were COVID-19 cases in the unvaccinated group

Furthermore, since only about 1,100 vaccinated children 12 to 15 years of age were observed in the clinical trial, there were not enough children included in the trial to be able to prove the vaccine is safer than the disease in children 12 to 15 years of age.

The chance of a child 0-17 years of age contracting SARS-CoV-2 & dying from COVID-19 is

1 in 290,000.

Anyone considering the COVID-19 vaccine must be informed of known and potential benefits and risks, and the extent to which benefits and risks are unknown. For example, the clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to measure the vaccine’s ability to prevent hospitalizations and deaths, and did not assess if the vaccine prevents asymptomatic infection or spread (transmission) of the virus.

“PIC is committed to making the available data more accessible to everyone researching COVID-19 vaccines,” said Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president. “Our concise, reader-friendly document assists healthcare providers and parents in making informed decisions for the children in their care.”

Physicians for Informed Consent’s body of physicians, scientists, statisticians and healthcare workers is trusted by both patients and practitioners for providing scientific data on infectious diseases and vaccines. To download your copy of the VRS “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine: Short-Term Efficacy & Safety Data,” visit physiciansforinformedconsent.org/covid-19-vaccines.

PIC’s educational documents were developed with data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial, Moderna COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial, and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial.

**UPDATE**

Martin Makary MD, MPH,Editor-in-Chief, MedPage Today states:

Think Twice Before Giving the COVID Vax to Healthy Kids

— Based on the data to date, there’s no compelling case for it right now

For more:

The CDC reported that through June 4, 2021, there were 5,165 deaths (0.0017%) and 294,801 adverse events reported to VAERS following injections of the three experimental, non-FDA approved, COVID-19 injections.  Recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen injection and a serious adverse event – blood clots with low platelets– which has caused deaths, but the CDC says the benefits outweigh the risks.

By comparison, during the same time period VAERS received reports of 83 deaths following flu vaccines.

Please remember that only 1% of vaccine reactions get reported, so the numbers being maimed and killed from these injections is much, much higher.

Also, important to know: vaccine makers are destroying long-term safety studies by unblinding their trials and giving the control groups the active vaccine, claiming it is “unethical” to withhold an effective vaccine. By doing this they make it virtually impossible to assess long-term safety and effectiveness as well as benefit vs cost.  Ironically vaccine mandates are being justified on the premise that the benefit to the public is more important than an individual’s risk of harm.

VAERS is under attack,  not for the severe under-reporting, but due to the thousands of adverse events recently reported on the COVID-19 injections. This information just doesn’t fit the accepted narrative that “vaccines are safe and effective.”  Now, Politifact, while brushing off the reports of reactions and deaths, accuse “anti-vaccine groups & activists” of filling up the system with “unverified, incomplete numbers to advance far-reaching claims.”  It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see where this is headed.

Fauci in Hot Seat as Emails Reveal His Lies

Fauci in the Hot Seat as Emails Reveal His Lies

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked

June 09, 2021

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Dr. Anthony Fauci — whose expertise has been held as indisputable by mainstream media since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic — is now facing mounting scrutiny and critique as correspondence obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request reveals he’s lied both to the public and the U.S. Senate on a number of issues
  • Emails show Fauci supported the kind of dangerous research that likely created the COVID-19 pandemic, and that he helped cover up the lab origin theory
  • Fauci, until very recently, exclusively promoted the natural origin theory. We now find he assisted in the creation of a paper in Nature Medicine that came to underpin the entire natural origin theory, all while being informed of the fact that there were indications the virus had engineered features
  • The FOIA documents also show Fauci has lied about masks being an effective form of protection
  • Fauci has also failed to acknowledge that natural immunity is acquired when you recover from COVID-19, which makes vaccination completely unnecessary, and has yet to oppose recommendations to vaccinate recovered COVID-19 patients even though they’re immune and appear to be more prone to vaccine damage

Saint Anthony’s halo is tarnishing and hanging more crooked by the day. Dr. Anthony Fauci — whose medical expertise has been held as indisputable by mainstream media since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic — is now facing mounting scrutiny and critique as correspondence obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Buzzfeed reveals he’s lied both to the public and the U.S. Senate on a number of issues.

The emails were released to the public in the early-morning hours of June 2, 2021. All 3,234 pages of emails can be found on Document Cloud.1 News media pounced on the release, with each reporter offering their own spin on what the fallout of the emails might be.

“The Next Revolution” by Steve Hilton
In the video above,2 “The Next Revolution” host Steve Hilton details how Fauci and National Institute of Health director Dr. Francis Collins have both repeatedly lied about the origins of SARS-CoV-2.

‘Utter Fraudulence’

In a no-holds-barred monologue Wednesday, June 2, 2021, Fox News host Tucker Carlson (above) called for a criminal investigation of Fauci in the aftermath of the release of thousands of emails, exchanged in the early days of the pandemic between Fauci and numerous individuals, including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and billionaire Bill Gates.

Carlson blasted Fauci for what he said was “utter fraudulence” that should put Fauci under criminal investigation. After previously hosting him on many Fox newscasts, including Carlson’s own, the emails show Fauci is “just another sleazy federal bureaucrat — deeply political and often dishonest,” Carlson said.

What’s worse, the emails implicate Fauci “in the very pandemic he’d been charged with fighting.” While Fauci has denied funding gain-of-function research, emails now reveal he did indeed support “the grotesque and dangerous experiments that appeared to have made COVID possible,” Carlson said, adding that the emails are so damning that “in retrospect it looks a lot like perjury.”

Sen. Rand Paul apparently agrees. In a recent Fox News interview (below), Paul said the released emails reveal a “disturbing picture” that “should preclude [Fauci] from the position that he’s in.”

Fauci Lied About Not Funding Gain-of-Function Research

Some of the emails show Fauci, early in 2020, was concerned that Americans might think the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. Why would he be concerned about that? As noted by Carlson, this makes perfect sense if he knew he had funded the very research that now looked like the source of the pandemic.

January 31, 2020, Kristian Andersen, a virologist at the Scripps Research Institute in California, emailed Fauci stating that “The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered.”

He later wrote that he and his team “all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory.” Interestingly, some six weeks later, Andersen published a paper in which he and his team insisted the virus could not have been created in a lab. I’ll have more to say on this later, as the email cache also reveals Fauci had a hand in the creation of that paper. On a side note, four days after the release of the emails, Andersen deleted his entire Twitter account.3

The next day, Fauci sent an urgent email to Dr. Hugh Auchincloss, the principal deputy director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), titled “IMPORTANT.” “It is essential that we speak this AM,” Fauci wrote. “Keep your cell phone on … Read this paper as well as the e-mail that I will forward to you now. You will have tasks today that must be done.”

Attached to the email was a file titled “Baric, Shi et al – Nature medicine – SARS Gain of function.pdf.” This paper was written by Ralph Baric, Ph.D., a virologist in the U.S., and Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the WIV who specializes in bat coronaviruses.

May 11, 2021, Fauci testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.4 During an exchange with Sen. Rand Paul, Fauci insisted that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” He also insisted that Baric does not engage in gain-of-function research. This is the same Baric whose paper Fauci sent to Auchincloss, clearly marked as “SARS gain-of-function.”

As reviewed in “The Biggest Flip-Flop Ever — Who’s Going to Jail?” the kind of research Fauci funded has long been referred to as gain-of-function, yet now he’s trying to redefine what’s covered by that term.

As noted by Carlson in his June 2, 2021, report, social media platforms aggressively censored and deplatformed people for the “crime” of talking about the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 being a lab creation that got loose, and they did so largely based on the word of Fauci himself. Fauci said it wasn’t so, and that became the gospel repeated by fact checkers everywhere.

Now all of a sudden, there appears to have been a coordinated U-turn. The question is, why did they lie to us for so long? In the video report above, Carlson reveals part of the answer: Scientists were afraid to lose their funding, funding which, by the way, comes from the American taxpayers.

Fauci Lied About the Origin of the Virus

In an April 17, 2020, White House press briefing, Fauci lied again, when he said the science was “totally consistent with a jump from an animal to a human.” Yet “what he asserted as conclusively known could not have been known,” Carlson points out.

Two days after this press briefing, EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak, Ph.D., wrote to Fauci thanking him for his help in deflecting the lab origin theory. The email reads:

“As the PI of the R01 grant publicly targeted by Fox News reporters at the Presidential press briefing last night, I just wanted to say a personal thankyou on behalf of our staff and collaborators, for publicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID-19 from a bat-to-human spillover, not a lab release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Who is Daszak? He’s none other than the middle-man between Fauci’s NIAID/NIH and the WIV. EcoHealth Alliance received several NIH grants for millions of dollars involving gain-of-function research on coronaviruses, which were then farmed out to Zhengli and others at the WIV. So, Daszak certainly had cause to want to deflect attention from the lab leak theory.

He was also well aware of how risky this research was. In 2015, he spoke at a National Academies of Science seminar on reducing risk from emerging infectious diseases, warning of the danger of experimenting on “humanized mice,”5 meaning lab mice that have been genetically altered to carry human genes, cells or tissues.

That same year, Daszak also published a paper in which he warned a global pandemic might occur from a laboratory incident and that “the risks were greater with the sort of virus manipulation research being carried out in Wuhan.”6

January 2, 2020, he sent out a tweet announcing he’d successfully isolated SARS coronaviruses “that bind to human cells in the lab,” and that the work of other scientists show some of these viruses have pandemic potential as they can infect humanized mice.7

Yet, from the get-go, Daszak did everything he could to dispel discussion about SARS-CoV-2 being anything but all-natural. He went on record dismissing the lab-origin theory as “pure baloney.”8,9

He was also the mastermind behind the publication of a scientific statement published in The Lancet10 condemning such inquiries as “conspiracy theory,”11,12 which was then relied on by the media to “debunk” theories and evidence showing the pandemic virus most likely originated from a laboratory.

To further ensure the lab-leak theory would die out, Daszak was chosen to be on two separate commissions charged with investigating the origin of SARS-CoV-2, one by the World Health Organization13 — which, of course, dismissed the lab theory out of hand — and one by The Lancet.14

‘Hidden Hand’ Behind Natural Origin Theory Revealed

Now, finally, all these efforts to obfuscate the truth are falling apart. Fauci’s role in the obfuscation is also becoming much clearer. In the documentary “Plandemic — Indoctornation,” Dr. Meryl Nass stated there had to have been “a hidden hand behind the Nature Medicine paper”15 that became the basis for the natural, zoonotic origin theory.

This paper is not to be confused with the other Nature Medicine paper cited earlier, published by Baric and Shi. The paper Nass is referring to was created by Scripps researcher Kristian Andersen who, in January 2020, told Fauci that some of the features of the genomic sequence “(potentially) look engineered.”

Andersen’s paper “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2”16 — published March 17, 2020, and co-written by Andrew Rambaut, Ian Lipkin, Edward Holmes and Robert Garry — became the preeminent “proof” that SARS-CoV-2 had a natural origin and couldn’t possibly come from a lab.

“Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” the paper states.17 The email cache now identifies who comprised the “hidden hand” behind this paper. They were none other than Fauci himself, NIH director Collins and Jeremy Farrar, head of the Wellcome Trust.

In the email on page 2,401, dated March 6, 2020, Andersen thanks Fauci, Collins and Farrar for their “advice and leadership” on the paper. His four co-authors are cc’d, along with the Salk Institute’s communications director, Chris Emery.

Fauci, Collins and Farrar — A Tag-Team of Coverup Artists

This is huge. “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2”18 was the scientific underpinning of the natural origin claim, and now we find out Fauci himself was involved in its creation. Farrar and Collins are also neck-deep in this cover-up.

Farrar cosigned the scientific statement in The Lancet,19 which turned out to have been orchestrated by Daszak, as mentioned earlier. Farrar was also involved in the WHO Solidarity Trial,20 which poisoned patients with toxic doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). In this trial, which was clearly designed to prove HCQ was “dangerous,” they used a cumulative dose of 8,800 mg over 10 days.

Meanwhile, doctors across the world who reported success with the drug were using standard doses around 200 mg per day for just a few days. Farrar, having spent 18 years leading a clinical research unit in Vietnam,21 would have (or should have) been aware that such high doses of HCQ — a widely used anti-malaria medication — would be toxic.

As for Collins, he promoted the cover-up by publishing a March 26, 2020, blog post22 in which he said Andersen’s Nature Medicine paper proved a natural origin, and to ignore rumors to the contrary. What’s more, after Fauci unconvincingly tried to claim that the NIAID/NIH has never funded any gain-of-function research, Collins came to his rescue with a public NIH statement23in which he backed Fauci’s claim.

Bombshell Emails on What Fauci Knew

In a June 3, 2021, report, Carlson reviewed Fauci’s “surreal” media appearances following the release of the emails. As just one example, he simply laughed off the question of why so much of a particular email between him and Collins was redacted.

In the unredacted part, Collins warns Fauci that a “conspiracy theory” about the virus’ origin is gaining speed. Why, exactly, was this email redacted? What did the remainder of the email say? Fauci claims ignorance on the matter, and the mainstream media are letting him off the hook.

Now, when a document is redacted, a classification is assigned, explaining why parts must remain secret, and in this case, those classifications are interesting indeed. Redacted emails between Fauci and nongovernment individuals such as Zuckerberg and Daszak bear codes such as:24,25

  • (b)(4), which refers to information that would impair the application of state-of-the-art technology within a U.S. weapon system
  • (b)(6), which refers to information, including foreign government information, that would cause serious harm to relations between the U.S. and a foreign government, or to ongoing diplomatic activities of the U.S.
  • (b)(7), which refers to information that would impair the current ability of U.S. government officials to protect the president, vice president and other protectees for whom protection services, in the interest of national security, are authorized

Fauci Lied About Masks

The email cache also shows Fauci lied about other things, including masks and vaccines. In one email, Fauci explained that surgical masks don’t work against viruses because the viruses slip right through the material, which is the truth. But when it comes to his public statements about masks, Fauci has been a serial liar.

He started off saying Americans shouldn’t wear them because they offer little to no protection — which is true — and the benefits are mostly psychological, as it might make you feel safer. Then he changed his mind, urging everyone to wear a mask all the time. When confronted about this U-turn, he said he lied about masks not being effective because he wanted to make sure there would be enough for frontline workers.

Well, in reality, he lied about lying, because he told the truth that first time. Everything since then, however, has been one fib after another. One mask wasn’t even sufficient. Fauci started recommending two. Then he insisted people had to keep wearing them even after they get vaccinated. There’s no scientific rationale for this at all, and Fauci knows it.

Fauci Still Has Not Told the Truth About Natural Immunity

Fauci has also been dishonest about the need for COVID-19 vaccination. In early March 2020, a former Obama official emailed Fauci asking if people who recover from COVID-19 can expect to be immune thereafter. Fauci replied, “No evidence in this regard, but you would assume that their [sic] would be substantial immunity post infection.”

Here, it’s fairly safe to make assumptions because it’s a well-established medical fact that when you recover from a viral infection, you are immune, and that immunity can be lifelong in many cases. It would be quite unusual if immunity were not incurred after recovering from a viral infection. As noted by Carlson, that robust immunity occurs post-COVID-19 has also been confirmed in studies over the past year.

Now, if you have natural immunity against an illness, you do not need to be vaccinated. Period. Yet to this day, Fauci has never admitted this publicly, and he has not publicly opposed recommendations to vaccinate those who have recovered from COVID-19, even though there’s evidence to suggest such individuals are at higher risk of vaccine injury. Not even those who can prove they have antibodies are excluded from the vaccine push.

Fauci Tried to Derail Florida

Other emails from March 2020, discussed in The Beltway Report,26 show Fauci also promised to put pressure on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to close down gyms, bars and beaches.

The recipient of this email exchange was a Florida HIV specialist named Doug Brust, who wrote, “I’m the HIV doc here. I’m it … I am putting my life on the line so folks can go pump iron, drink beer, have a burger, and get a tan.” In response, Fauci wrote, in part:27

“Regarding the bars and beaches, I have been screaming on TV 2 to 5 times per night to tell the younger generation to start taking this seriously … I am very surprised that Gov. DeSantis has not completely closed the bars, even if they serve food. Take out only. I will bring this up at the Task Force meeting tomorrow.”

Fauci’s Book Release Scrubbed Amid Backlash

fauci book

In light of Fauci’s rapidly waning star power, his book, “Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward,” slated for release in November 2021, has now been scrubbed from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. We found an archived copy of the original Amazon listing, but even the cached version disappeared within a week. If you search for the book on either of these book vendors now, you won’t find it. As reported by Just the News June 2, 2021:28

“The scrubbing of the book comes after backlash from critics who accused Fauci of profiting off of the deadly pandemic the U.S. response to which he has overseen.

Among those criticizing Fauci is Fox News Channel contributor Joe Concha, who compared him to New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signing a seven-figure book deal about his efforts during the pandemic, which resulted in a high number of death among assisted-living residents.

‘If you look at the numbers again, you had Cuomo profiting off a pandemic, a government official,’ said Concha, also a media reporter for The Hill newspaper. ‘Now we have Fauci doing it as well. I think this is appalling.’

Daily Caller writer Greg Price slammed Fauci for ‘publishing a book and [becoming] the highest paid federal government employee while you lost your business and had your kids out of school for a year.'”

Truth may be slow to surface, but eventually, the truth usually breaks through. And that certainly appears to be the case here. The truth about the lab leak theory — that it’s actually the most plausible and not a wild goose-chase — is now emerging just about everywhere. I’m sure many of you remember we have been exposing this information since early last year.

Even Vanity Fair29 has an in-depth article detailing the drama. The theory that mere weeks ago was derided as debunked hogwash conspiracy theory, if acknowledged at all, is now suddenly getting the level-headed attention it should have, and probably would have, received all along, had it not been for Fauci and his co-conspirators. This case ought to establish one thing, and that is that “conspiracy theories” are not automatically untrue.

**UPDATE**

GreatGameIndia just reported that Fauci’s emails reveal he threatened Indian scientists who discovered the COVID jabs are engineered with AIDS like insertions, which Nobel Prize winner Dr. Montagnier also asserts.

There is also evidence from another email showing that Fauci was told last March precisely how the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “was created.” Research partner Adam Gaertner gave Fauci a play-by-play and still Fauci stood before the world and lied about everything for an entire year.

Fauci was also told by leading infectious disease expert Kristian Andersen that the Indian studies exposing the AIDS-like features of the Chinese Flu did, in fact, make a strong case about its bioengineered nature. Fauci proceeded to ignore both of these men while peddling the fake narrative that the virus came from bats at a wet market.

The following YouTube video (Approx 6 min) reveals another horror from Fauci’s emails.

HHS Request for Information

JUN 7, 2021 — 

Please see below my submission to HHS Request for Information: (Deadline June 11th)

Developing the National Public Health Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Vector-Borne Diseases in Humans

It was once believed that rifampin was curative in treating Brucellosis but when symptoms returned doxycycline was added to the mix and when that too failed a third antibiotic, streptomycin was added to the current treatment regimen. [1] [2]

In 1985 the worldwide incidence of leprosy was 6,000,000. In 2018, it was 208,619. The only thing that changed was the addition of rifampin to dapsone in the treatment of the disease. Rifampin was added to dapsone because the M leprae were becoming resistant and it was a new antibiotic at that time.

Treatments for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis have been introduced (bedaquiline and delamanid) with more in the pipeline. [3]

A new treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile was recently studied (bezlotoxumab) for reducing the risk of a repeat infection. [4]

In contrast, oral amoxicillin or doxycycline remains the treatment of choice for treating Lyme disease for over thirty years regardless if debilitating symptoms return. Since 1977 Dr. Allen Steere knew that these antibiotics were not effective for all patients [5] but there has been no change in treatment or research to find more effective ways to eradicate the infection in all stages of disease.

To my knowledge, a “Federal Working Group” was never established for brucellosis, leprosy, tuberculosis or C. difficile but then again there was no rush to create a vaccine as there was with Lyme disease. It would appear that a chronic relapsing seronegative disease did not fit the vaccine model.

All patients in the 2018 Middelveen et al pilot study were culture positive for infection (genital secretions, skin and blood) even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics. [6]

Here’s what researchers at Johns Hopkins and Northeastern are saying: [7]

“Under experimental stress conditions such as starvation or antibiotic exposure, Borrelia burgdorferi can develop round body forms, which are a type of persister bacteria that appear resistant in vitro to customary first-line antibiotics for Lyme disease.”

Dr. Brian Fallon of Columbia University recently published his findings of autopsy specimens from a patient previously treated for Lyme disease. Persistent infection with the Lyme disease spirochete was identified in the brain of the Lyme patient who died with a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia. [8]

Any published evidence identifying persistent infection after extensive antibiotic treatment has been completely ignored. Please see my letter to the editor of the BMJ published June 2020 for examples. [9] The research to find a cure for this antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug has been denied for decades as the co-chair of the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group, Dr David Walker calls persistent infection after extensive antibiotic treatment a “religious belief” [10] This partnership to deny chronic Lyme disease has left hundreds of thousands if not millions around the globe in a debilitated state.

For three decades now patient testimony all across America (and around the globe) has been describing a disease that is destroying lives, ending careers while leaving its victim in financial ruin.

Priority # 1 for Lyme disease:

Establish a Manhattan Project to Find a Cure for this antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug and elevate Lyme to Highest Alert at the CDC while recognizing the disabling stage of Lyme disease.
