The Lyme Disease Education Initiative at Harvard Medical School would like to hear your Lyme disease story. Survey participants will answer questions about their experience with Lyme disease and about the types of information that could help others with Lyme disease to navigate their illness and improve their quality of life. We will use the survey results to help shape educational materials for Lyme disease patients and the general public.
If you are an adult living in the US who has been diagnosed with Lyme disease by a medical professional, you may be able to help. Answer the screening questions below to see if you qualify.
When it comes to Covid vaccines, what does “95% effective” really mean? Dr. Jim Meehan breaks down Relative Risk vs. Absolute Risk, and how Big Pharma manipulates the data on the absolute effectiveness of these failed vaccines, which leads the media and public into a false sense of security.
CORRECTION: THE FOLLOWING GRAPHIC REPLACES THE GRAPHIC IN THE VIDEO AT 5:44. Image: https://www.mdpi.com/medicina/medicin… Dr. Ron Brown of Waterloo University talks about his Cambridge and Medicina Paper. We discuss relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction measures in the evaluation of clinical trial data. Dr. Ron Brown discusses the danger of outcome reporting bias and the misleading conclusions and violations of informed consent from outcome reporting bias in COVID-19 mRNA vaccine clinical trials.
Based on data reported by the manufacturer for Pfzier/BioNTech vaccine BNT162b2:
relative risk reduction: 95.1%; 95% CI, 90.0% to 97.6%; p = 0.016;
absolute risk reduction: 0.7%; 95% CI, 0.59% to 0.83%; p < 0.000.
For the Moderna vaccine mRNA-1273:
relative risk reduction: 94.1%; 95% CI, 89.1% to 96.8%; p = 0.004
absolute risk reduction, 1.1%; 95% CI, 0.97% to 1.32%; p < 0.000
Unreported absolute risk reduction measures of 0.7% and 1.1% for the Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, respectively, are very much lower than the reported relative risk reduction measures.Reporting absolute risk reduction measures is essential to prevent outcome reporting bias in evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy.

Peter Doshi, associate editor of The BMJ, pointed out that while Pfizer claims its vaccine is 95% effective, this is the relative risk reduction.
THE ABSOLUTE RISK REDUCTION — WHICH IS FAR MORE RELEVANT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES — IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN 1%!
Remember what our corrupt public health officials told us?
Experts predict summer 2021 will be a “tick time bomb.”
Due to a mild winter, most parts of the country are already seeing more ticks this season than last year, as the tiny insects thrive in humidity.
Here’s how to protect yourself from tick bites, which can lead to various illnesses including Lyme disease.
Every summer, we hear the same warning: It’s going to be a bad year for ticks. But entomologists (a.k.a. insect experts) say that 2021 could live up to that message. In fact, The Weather Channel even referred to this year as a “tick time bomb.”
Robert Lockwood, associate certified entomologist for Ehrlich Pest Control, says experts are already noticing a thriving tick population in 2021. “Due to the mild winters and climate change, we are already seeing more ticks this season than last year,” he says.
Why does a wet winter matter? Ticks thrive in humidity. As a result, “regions that experienced wetter and warmer winters will have higher tick populations this spring and summer,” says Ben Hottel, Ph.D., technical services manager for Orkin. (See link for article)
Climate-change researchers overlooked and did not take into account established populations of I. scapularis found in the late 1960’s in the upper Midwest, as well as at Manitoba in 1991, in their climate change model maps. The faulty climate change maps are devoid of any ticks in those areas – yet experience shows otherwise.
Climate change models overlook the fact that deer ticks were established in northwestern Ontario, southern Manitoba and were already in central Canada prior to 1970. What they predict to happen in the future has already happened in Canada. Their oversight caused a skewed rate of tick expansion and a miscalculation of northward projected movement.
Warmer winters are in fact lethal to I. scapularis(black-legged) ticks. In fact, overwinter survival dropped to 33% when the snow melted. This has been substantiated by other researchers as well.
The climate change model actually reflects migratory flight not warmer futuristic temperatures.
What is important to tick expansion is photoperiod, which is innate and can not be altered by climate. Black-legged ticks require 14 hours of daylight to molt. If ticks can’t molt, they can’t move on to their next life-cycle.
“The hypothesis that I. scapularis ticks will expand further north in the Prairie Provinces because of climate change is not only unscientific, but deceiving.” John Scott, Independent tick researcher
Due to denial, suppression, and censorship of ivermectin by mainstream medicine, our corrupt public health ‘authorities’, and bought-out media, people are now forced to self-treat with ivermectin using animal medicine, causing a surge in poisonings. (This type of thing happens in Lyme-land as well for the same reasons)
Last month, renowned physician Dr. Peter McCullough lamented that thousands of lives have been lost because the medical establishment has refused to create an “official treatment protocol” for COVID-19. Now another doctor is expressing similar sentiments, saying the World Health Organization (WHO) has purposely suppressed data on drug ivermectin’s effectiveness at treating the disease because the health authority is in Big Pharma’s pocket.
It’s a trespass that has cost a half million lives, contends critical-care physician Dr. Pierre Kory — and he calls the act “criminal.” As the World Tribune reports:
In a recent Zoom call, Dr. Pierre Kory of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance outlined numerous details showing the World Health Organization (WHO) knowingly suppressed data on the effectiveness of ivermectin against the virus in order to benefit the vaccine interests of Big Pharma.
“It’s criminal,” Kory said. “It’s literally criminal.” The drug “could have saved half a million lives this year if it had been approved.”
The WHO, Kory contends, is simply taking part in the tactics of a time-worn “Disinformation Playbook.” The term was coined by the Union of Concerned Scientists 50 years ago to describe the strategies corporations have developed over decades to “attack science when it goes against their financial interests.”
According to the Tribune, this disinformation strategy has five parts:
1. The Fake – Conduct counterfeit science and try to pass it off as legitimate research.
2. The Blitz – Harass scientists who speak out with results reviews inconvenient for industry.
3. The Diversion – Manufacture uncertainty about science where little or none exists.
4. The Screen – Buy credibility through alliances with academia or professional societies.
5. The Fix – Manipulate government officials or processes to influence policy inappropriately.
“In the full Zoom call, since removed by YouTube but available on Bitchute , Kory describes how the five tactics have been deployed against the scientific findings on ivermectin,” the Tribune continues. “One example is the corruption of leading medical journals, whose editors refuse to allow ivermectin studies to advance to peer review. The most egregious institutional participant, however, is the WHO.” (See link for article)

Please read this important article in full. If you have the time, also watch the videos. The monkeys are rolling out of the barrel one by one and this information must be shared widely because it’s truly a wide-spread problem which doesn’t only concern the issue of COVID.
This article also explains why Lyme/MSIDS patients have suffered for over 40 years. The same exact 5 parts deployed in the disinformationplaybook have been and are currently being used for tick-borne illness (TBIs).
Dr. Kory states 500,000 lives could have been saved and Dr. McCullough states 85% of the lives lost could have been saved.
The question begging to be asked is: I wonder how many lives could have been saved of those with tick-borne illness if they were allowed appropriate anti-microbial treatment that treated ALL the pathogens for the duration of time needed?
Interestingly, the article mentions USSR’s Lysenkoism, and that the problem is worsened “when there’s an unhealthy nexus between science and state.” These same words have been uttered by microbiologist Sin Hang Lee due to the fact the CDC has suppressed direct testing methods for Lyme disease. He also filed a “Stay of Action” against the Pfizer COVID “vaccine,” due to the faulty PCR tests used in the trials.
Lee is far from alone. Lyme advocate Carl Tuttle recently gave ample evidence that the CDC is lying to the public about Lyme disease.
If a silver lining exists to the COVID ‘pandemic’ it’s that blatant corruption is finally being acknowledged and exposed. Perhaps this awareness will help suffering patients understand the need to seek specialists that have separated themselves from this corrupt paradigm and truly desire to help patients.
Ivermectin is “what the world desperately needs now,” according to Dr. Pierre Kory, one of the founding members of the FLCCC. But although the desperate need is present, governing health bodies apparently seem intent on ensuring that the drug is not known, Capuzzo reveals.
Cataract resident advocates for individuals struggling with Lyme disease

Cataract resident Alicia Cashman, a Lyme disease patient, advocate and leader with Madison Lyme Support Group, is passionate about the cause as she herself has been fighting the battle for over a decade after a tiny tick changed her and her husband’s lives.
Most people don’t know that a tick can contain many pathogens. Cashman prefers the term MSIDS, or Multi Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome, over Lyme Disease as it is almost always far more than just borrelia, the causative agent of Lyme disease.
“Due to the synergistic effects of these pathogens, treatment is often far more complex and longer than the CDC’s treatment guidelines of 21 days of doxycycline and that particular mono therapy rarely works unless you catch it early,” she said. “We saw neither tick nor rash and less than 30 percent do, but we tested positively on the Extended Western Blot from Igenex Labs in California, which is one of the few labs that uses a far more sensitive testing.”
As stated earlier, Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia. There are 100 different strains of Borrelia in the United States and 300 worldwide. Current CDC testing only tests for one strain, according to Cashman. (See link for article)

I’m thankful the staff writer didn’t shy away from the polarization in the medical community, research bias, conflicts of interest, or the fact this is probably sexually transmitted.
We need the truth if we ever expect to move forward.
I never know what the outcome of these interviews will be, but I’m happy with this one. Good, honest information with very practical advice.
