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.

 
James Roguski
Aug 09, 2025
 

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!!!

    • Tulsi (Holy Basil) Water: Tulsi leaves are known for their anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immune-boosting properties.

    • Turmeric Tea: Turmeric contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory compound that can help reduce joint pain and inflammation. Adding black pepper can enhance the absorption of curcumin.

    • Echinacea, elderberry, green tea, peppermint, and chamomile teas are known to boost the immune system.

  8. Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy-Guduchi): Giloy Juice is a known immune booster. Giloy is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-modulatory properties, which can help reduce fever and combat infection, according to Haridwarayurved.com. It can be consumed in the form of juice, powder, or capsules. Many herbal prescriptions for fever have Giloy as an active ingredient. Giloy is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-pyretic. Giloy can be taken as capsules, powder known as Giloy Satva, or in a juice form.

  9. Dietary Recommendations: A diet rich in fruits (berries, oranges, papaya, guava, kiwi), vegetables (spinach, kale, carrots, broccoli), and lean proteins (chicken, fish, lentils) can help reduce inflammation and boost the immune system.

  10. Avoid Certain Foods: Limit sugary foods, fried and processed foods, and spicy foods, as they can exacerbate inflammation and hinder recovery.

  11. Nutrient-Rich Diet: Include foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, chromium, and zinc to support the immune system.

  12. Epsom salt soak: This salt helps ease the pain. Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate crystals that reduces inflammation and pain. Epsom salt baths can relax muscles and ease joint stiffness and pain. In addition to this, warm water improves blood circulation in the body.

  13. Warm Water Therapy and Compresses: Soaking in a warm bath or applying warm compresses to affected joints can help soothe pain and stiffness.

  14. Topical Creams and Gels: Creams or gels containing ingredients like menthol or capsaicin can provide localized pain relief when rubbed on sore joints.

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

Tim Lynch
Jul 08, 2025

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 jailed.  How’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.

When Lyme Is Not Lyme: CDC and FDA Policies and Medical Practice Must Be Refined to Embrace Complexities For the Good of the Patient

When Lyme Is Not Lyme: CDC and FDA Policies and Medical Practice Must Be Refined to Embrace Complexities For the Good of the Patient

Here I propose a decision-tree based differential diagnosis of Lyme and Not Lyme. It’s a start.

James Lyons-Weiler, PhD
Aug 07, 2025

In the realm of infectious disease, simplicity is seductive. It promises clear diagnoses, standardized protocols, and neat narratives. But Lyme disease—a condition with protean manifestations, shifting microbial profiles, and diagnostic challenges at every stage—refuses to conform. It insists on complexity. And in response, our institutions—particularly the CDC and FDA—have built a regime of policies that actively deny it.

The result? A generation of patients misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed, or dismissed entirely—not because they lack illness, but because the illness they carry doesn’t fit the model. The model is wrong.

This article argues that regulatory science has reached a breaking point in Lyme disease policy. The failure to recognize nuanced diagnostic tools—especially direct detection technologies like PCR and sequencing—and the overreliance on antibody-based serologic paradigms are not only outdated, they are dangerous. The bucket-labeling of chronic illness under the guise of “post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome” or “functional somatic disorder” is not science. It is avoidance. It is bureaucracy masquerading as epidemiology.

We can—and must—do better.

The Tidy Algorithm That Misses the Patient

The CDC continues to recommend a two-tier serologic testing algorithm for Lyme disease diagnosis: an initial ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) or IFA (indirect fluorescent antibody), followed by a Western blot. But this cascade is built around the immune system’s delayed humoral response—one that may take weeks to develop and varies wildly across individuals.

Early localized Lyme disease—the phase where diagnosis and treatment are most crucial—often produces negative antibody tests despite active spirochetemia. The immune system hasn’t had time to respond, or responds atypically. Yet this window is precisely when patients present with acute symptoms—rash, fatigue, fever, malaise—and need confirmation.

Instead, they are sent home with instructions to “wait for antibodies to develop.” It is a ritual of deferred care masquerading as prudence.

Meanwhile, molecular techniques—such as PCR amplification of bacterial chromosomal DNA followed by Sanger sequencing—can detect Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes in the blood of these patients with precision, even at very low organismal loads. A 2024 study confirmed the utility of the flaB gene as a sensitive target for direct molecular detection. And yet, CDC officials such as Dr. Christina Nelson continue to state—without qualification—that PCR is “not useful” in the diagnosis of Lyme disease, a systemic infectious disease. This “policy statement” on Lyme diagnosis contradicts CDC’s own established protocols for infectious diseases. For example, the CDC’s diagnostic protocol for SARS-CoV-1 in 2003 recommended using three specific primers to perform heminested PCR to amplify a 348-bp genomic cDNA for sequencing “to verify the authenticity of the amplified product” The CDC scientists also used Sanger sequencing of the nested PCR products to help diagnose the first SARS-CoV-2 case in this country.

The CDC does not recommend the Widal (serologic) test for diagnosing typhoid fever, a classic bacterial systemic infectious disease, which is usually diagnosed by blood cultures.

This is not simply a matter of differing interpretations. It is institutional self-contradiction, plain and harmful. On one hand, CDC acknowledges the superiority of molecular methods in select studies. On the other, its public guidance to clinicians categorically dismisses them. The result is diagnostic nihilism, not progress.

The Adjudicated Endpoint Mirage

This failure to adopt precise diagnostics bleeds into vaccine trials—most recently, those for Pfizer and Valneva’s VLA15, a candidate Lyme vaccine. The protocol allows for adjudication committees—not direct evidence—to determine whether a patient “truly” had Lyme disease based on serologic conversion.

In other words, the gold standard is not evidence of infection, but whether enough bureaucrats agree that a positive Western blot means what they want it to mean. This is a scientific sleight-of-hand: dressing bias in the costume of consensus.

We don’t adjudicate cancer diagnoses this way. We don’t require panels to decide if a culture grows MRSA. Why do we treat Lyme disease differently?

Because the system was designed around patented serologic tools, and because acknowledging more sensitive direct tests would expose three decades of flawed public health doctrine. The regulatory apparatus has become self-protective. It resists admitting new knowledge, even when it emerges from the very labs it funds.

The Individual’s Diagnostic Pathway: A Vanishing Art

Modern medicine must reclaim a lost art: tracing the pathway of illness in the individual patient. Lyme disease—and other stealth infections—do not conform to static models. They unfold dynamically, in stages, with overlapping presentations. Co-infections with Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, or Rickettsia are common and further blur the clinical picture. Immune exhaustion, biofilm states, immune complex sequestration—none of these phenomena are accounted for in the serologic testing regime.

And yet the CDC’s official diagnostic flowchart is oblivious to all of it.

This is not a technical problem. It is a philosophical one. To see illness clearly, one must be willing to dwell in ambiguity. To build robust diagnostics, one must test them against reality—not against regulatory convenience.

When a patient walks into a clinic with chronic fatigue, joint pain, or neurological complaints, physicians now reflexively reach for either a psychiatric label or a “fibromyalgia” diagnosis if the serology is negative. This is not differential diagnosis. It is abdication. And it is rooted in federal guidance that refuses to update.

A Better Framework: Evidence, Not Adjudication

It is not difficult to build a better system. We start by acknowledging that direct detection methods—when confirmed via sequencing—constitute definitive evidence of infection. A PCR test that amplifies Borrelia DNA and confirms identity through Sanger sequencing is objective, reproducible, and not susceptible to interpretive bias. Unlike a Western blot, there is no subjectivity in band intensity or background noise.

CDC must formally revise the case definition of Lyme disease to admit these tools. It must publish updated MMWRs and notify CLIA-certified labs that sequence-confirmed molecular diagnostics are not just permitted—they are necessary. And FDA, for its part, must refuse to approve any vaccine for Lyme disease that does not use culture-positive or sequencing-positive endpoints in its efficacy trials.

The adjudication committee must go the way of the phlogiston theory. It is an epistemic relic.

The Stakes: Chronic Illness Mismanagement on a National Scale

When Lyme is misdiagnosed, the result is not just diagnostic error. It is years of compounded harm—neurological decline, systemic inflammation, misprescribed psychiatric drugs, and social marginalization. And when regulators misdefine illness, insurance companies follow suit, refusing reimbursement for testing or treatment that strays from the flawed algorithm.

Thus, a person with real infection is told they are imagining it, or “have something else.” They are sent to psychiatrists, subjected to medications they don’t need, and denied the very antibiotic or herbal therapies that could help them.

This is not merely negligence. It is institutionalized medical error.

And the cost is not just individual. It is civilizational. When truth is buried beneath layers of bureaucratic adherence, science becomes theater.

Complexity Is Not the Enemy

To fix Lyme disease policy, we must abandon the false comfort of simplicity. Illness is not simple. Infection is not static. Patients are not algorithms.

The CDC and FDA must evolve to meet the complexity of this pathogen. And physicians must be permitted—indeed encouraged—to follow the diagnostic trail wherever it leads, even if that means sequencing a pathogen the government pretends not to see or looking for autoimmunity due to pathogenic priming from aluminum-containing vaccines that mimics Lyme.

In the end, it is not Borrelia burgdorferi that threatens public health the most. It is the system that refuses to learn from its past, revise its models, or admit that sometimes… Lyme is not just Lyme.  (See link for article)

Study Finds CDC Test Misses Most Cases of Early Lyme

https://www.lymedisease.org/lyme-biobank-study/

Lyme Biobank study finds CDC test misses most cases of early Lyme

BALF Lyme Biobank

July 11, 2025

A newly published study in Frontiers in Medicine reveals serious gaps in Lyme disease testing and post-treatment care, based on a decade of patient data collected by the Lyme Disease Biobank.

The research, supported by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, followed 253 participants in Lyme-endemic areas of Long Island, New York, and Central Wisconsin between 2014 and 2023.

All presented signs of early Lyme disease, yet only 23% tested positive using the CDC’s recommended two-tiered test. Even among those with diagnostic Lyme rashes larger than five centimeters, just 34% tested positive.

The study also found that 21% of patients reported lingering symptoms—such as fatigue, joint pain, and muscle aches—three months after antibiotic treatment. Despite this, only 35% of those experiencing ongoing symptoms followed up with healthcare providers.

Early diagnosis is critical

“Accurate, timely detection of Lyme disease is critical to preventing long-term complications. Moreover, follow-up from medical professionals with all patients after they complete antibiotic treatment could  improve outcomes and reduce the burden of Lyme disease,” said lead author Liz Horn, PhD, MBI, Principal Investigator.

“Our data also confirm the limitations of serology testing in early Lyme disease and after antibiotic treatment.”

While the study does not address why only one-third (35%) of these participants followed up with their healthcare providers about their ongoing symptoms, barriers to care have been well documented in other studies.

Specifically, data from MyLymeData, the largest Lyme disease patient registry, documented barriers specific to patients with persistent Lyme disease, including lack of insurance coverage, healthcare costs, travel time and distance to obtain care, and availability of care.

Participants in this study provided samples to the Lyme Disease Biobank, which collects early and persistent Lyme disease patient samples, postmortem and surgical tissue, as well as controls.

“The Lyme Disease Biobank was visionary in recognizing early on that progress in research was dependent upon having a large number of well-characterized samples from patients with diverse manifestations of Lyme disease available for study,” said Linden Hu, MD, professor of Immunology at Tufts Medical School, who collaborates with Lyme Disease Biobank.

“Many research groups, including my own, have greatly benefited from Lyme Disease Biobank samples, and studies of this size and magnitude would not have been possible without its existence.”
