A new study finds no evidence that mosquitoes can transmitBorrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. This study reinforces that ticks are the only proven source of infection.

What did the study show?

Many Lyme disease patients have questioned whether a mosquito bite could have been the source of their infection, especially as many do not remember finding a tick. This new study published just this June in the journal Parasites & Vectors offers strong reassurance that mosquitoes are not capable of carrying or transmitting the Lyme disease bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi. Even when exposed under lab conditions, the bacteria could not survive inside mosquitoes or be passed to mice.

Why does this matter?

It’s common for patients to be unsure of how or when they were infected, and that’s completely understandable. Many people don’t recall a tick bite because the deer tick nymphs responsible for most Lyme disease cases are very small (the size of a poppy seed!), and their bites often go unnoticed. With that in mind, knowing Lyme disease is only spread by ticks helps patients and families focus on the right prevention strategies and worry less about every mosquito or bug bite. 

How was the study done?

To find out if mosquitoes can spread Lyme disease, scientists ran a detailed series of lab experiments. First, they let different species of mosquitoes feed on mice infected with Lyme-causing bacteria. In some cases, a few mosquitoes did pick up the bacteria, but the numbers were extremely low and the bacteria quickly died during digestion.

The researchers also tested whether the bacteria could survive long enough to be passed on to a new host, either naturally or through interrupted feeding. In every case, the answer was no. The bacteria couldn’t stay alive or infectious inside mosquitoes, and they never made it into the saliva, which is the only way a mosquito can transmit disease. 

To make sure the experiment was working properly, the researchers also included infected deer ticks, which did successfully transmit the Lyme disease bacteria to mice. These findings confirm that mosquitoes cannot maintain or transmit the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.

What is the takeaway?

This research addresses a long-standing question within the Lyme disease community about the potential role of mosquitoes in transmission. By providing evidence that mosquitoes cannot serve as competent vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi, the findings help refine public health messaging and support prevention strategies that remain focused on tick exposure.

**Comment**
I find it incredibly sad that we are over 40 years into this madness and it took this long for this study to be done.  Sad.
We desperately need properly done transmission studies for all things Lyme/MSIDS.
One thing to keep in mind: the study found mosquitoes seemingly can not carry or transmit Lyme.  This could change in the future with different lab techniques and technology.  Science is forever changing.
And lastly, the article makes it appear that ticks are the ONLY way to get Lyme.  This is patently false as congenital transmission has been proven.  There is also much to indicate it can be transmitted sexually as well.
The fact transmission studies have not been done shows clearly how far behind we are in knowledge of this complex illness impacting more and more people every year.

Charges Dropped Against Utah Doctor Accused of Destroying $28,000 in Covid Vaccines

NBC News reported:

The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on the social media platform X that charges against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, of Midvale, Utah, were dismissed at her direction.

Moore and other defendants faced up to 35 years in prison after being charged with conspiracy to defraud the government; conspiracy to convert, sell, convey and dispose of government property; and aiding and abetting in those efforts. The charges were brought when Joe Biden was president.

“Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi wrote. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Dr. Moore was imprisoned for 22 days for disobeying unethical orders to inject humans with a never before used gene therapy injection that were not properly tested for transmission, effectiveness and safety and were rushed to market.  In fact, studies showing efficacy were fraudulently done and they are highly contaminated. The package inserts were blank, yet we were told to simply ‘trust the experts’ and roll up our sleeves!  BTW: this information was hard for me to find and only The Wellness Company writes honestly about the blank package inserts.  Every other mainstream media outlet I read is dishonest about the inserts.

704 No More: Restore Local Control Over Cell Towers and Antennas

https://www.704nomore.org/

Section 704 undermines public health, environmental protections, and individual rights

Our mission is to change that. Let’s protect children’s health and the environment by taking back local control of cell towers.

Section 704 and other FCC preemptive actions enforce the FCC’s outdated RF radiation guidelines, ignoring mounting evidence of harm, particularly to children. These laws and preemptive actions also strip away our personal freedoms and property rights, and override the states’ traditional police powers that protect our health and welfare.

704 No More is a legal initiative led by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and is led by attorney W. Scott McCollough, who brings decades of expertise to the fight for local control and public safety in the telecom space. They are dedicated to impactful strategic litigation and advocacy, and are determined to turn challenges into victories.

Through this initiative they aim to:

  • Tackle the broad federal preemption that prohibits local authorities from denying cell tower applications based on health and environmental effects;
  • Give you and your community a say when it comes to if and where cell towers are placed in your neighborhood;
  • Provide legal recourse for those harmed by wireless radiation; and
  • Protect our constitutional rights and freedoms.

I’m currently involved in a group that is reaching out to local reps and Senators to educate them on the dangers of 5G.  We hope to make an impact to protect the public from harm.  

If you have been negatively impacted by radiation from 5G, Smart meters, cell phones, wifi, dirty electricity, or other devices, please email me your experiences so I can share them with the group and with our leaders who are voting on telecom bills that will affect everyone.  As it stands, more and more power is being taken away from local jurisdictions.  We are fighting to keep decision making at the local level so people have a voice.

What has been presented here in Tomorrow’s Cure is the same old dogma propagated for decades by those who have controlled this false public heath narrative.

Dr. Allen Steere would be doing us all a favor by retiring.

Tomorrow’s Cure: New frontiers in Lyme disease detection — just in time for summer

“Dr. Steere identified Lyme disease in 1976 while investigating a cluster of children in Lyme, Connecticut, who were experiencing unexplained arthritis. His research ultimately led to the discovery and naming of the disease. Since then, researchers have devoted their efforts to advancing diagnostic tools, treatments and vaccine development.”

Mayo Clinic “Tomorrow’s Cure” podcast
Attn: Cathy Wurzer, Host

Dear Cathy,

Thirty-five  years ago Dr. Allen Steere identified chronic Lyme disease which should have set off a red flag prompting an immediate search for better antimicrobials but then did a 180° as he became principal investigator (PI) of the Phase 3 clinical trial for the first Lyme disease vaccine. So all the eggs were put into the vaccine basket while a campaign was orchestrated to discredit the sick and disabled patient population along with the courageous clinicians attempting to help these patients. Apparently, a chronic relapsing seronegative disease did not fit the business model of patent royalties, vaccine development and pharmaceutical profits. That rush to create a Lyme vaccine early in the discovery phase (of the Lyme epidemic) eliminated the research desperately needed to find a cure for an infection that was not responding to antibiotic treatment as reported by Dr. Allen Steere in 1990 and the disabled Lyme community ever since.

Here is Dr. Steere’s 1990 publication summary for your review:

The New England Journal of Medicine 

Published November 22, 1990

Chronic neurologic manifestations of Lyme disease
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199011223232102

This is what Steere was reporting in 1977:

Lyme arthritis: an epidemic of oligoarticular arthritis in children and adults in three connecticut communities. (1977)
Steere AC, Malawista SE, Snydman DR, Shope RE, Andiman WA, Ross MR, Steele FM.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/836338

Excerpt:

“The best treatment for this illness is not clear. Some physicians have reported that penicillin or tetracycline results in disappearance of the skin lesion (41,42), but others find antibiotics ineffective. Four of the patients with expanding skin lesions received penicillin but still developed arthritis.”

__________________________

In 1991 the Lyme disease organism, Borrelia burgdorferi, was grown from the cerebrospinal fluid of Lyme patient Vicki Logan at the Centers for Disease Control in Fort Collins, Colorado despite prior treatment with intravenous antibiotics. The patient died when the insurer refused additional IV antibiotics. Here is a copy of Logan’s CDC positive culture report for your review.

(Vicki Logan’s Chronic Lyme Autopsy results Page #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

The destructive nature of Borrelia is evident in Vicky Logan’s liver (nutmeg liver), kidneys, heart, lungs and brain. The patient died after the insurer refused additional IV antibiotic therapy.

There are 700 peer-reviewed publications referencing persistent infection and in a 2018 study all patients were culture positive 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.

Quotes from the Tomorrow’s Cure podcast

Lyme disease testing:

Quote from Dr Pritt @ 15:11min into the podcast…

“…but later on, the antibody tests that we have are quite good at detecting those late-stage manifestations…”

1. Serology is so unreliable that in 2013 Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell signed HB1933 into law requiring healthcare providers to notify those tested that current laboratory testing can produce false negatives.

2. Governor Chris Sununu’s 2020-2021 commission to study diagnostic testing for Lyme disease  concluded that the FDA approved two-tier serologic immunoassay for Lyme was not reliable in all stages of disease; no better than a coin toss.
 
3. Peer-reviewed evidence of “Seronegativity in Lyme borreliosis and Other Spirochetal Infections” 16 September 2003  https://www.dropbox.com/s/3d6m45jzlhhwalu/Seronegativity.pdf?dl=0

4. I would like to point out the following case study from Stony Brook Lyme clinic. I understand the patient received thirteen spinal taps, multiple courses of IV and oral meds, and relapsed after each one, proven by CSF antigens and/or PCR. The only way this patient (said to be a physician) remained in remission was to keep her on open ended clarithromycin- was on it for 22 months by the time of publication.

Abstract

We report an unusual patient with evidence of Borrelia burgdorferi infection who experienced repeated neurologic relapses despite aggressive antibiotic therapy. Each course of therapy was associated with a Jarisch-Herxheimer-like reaction. Although the patient never had detectable free antibodies to B. burgdorferi in serum or spinal fluid, the CSF was positive on multiple occasions for complexed anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies, B. burgdorferi nucleic acids and free antigen.

Lyme disease vaccines:

Quotes from Dr Steere:

@ 26:41min: “I think we’ve had an effective and save vaccine for Lyme disease for over twenty years.”

@ 27:49 min: “From antivaccine movements the manufacturer decided it just was not worth the risk.”

This was not an “antivaccine movement” as there was substantial risk of serious harm to public health!

REPORT ON LYlMErix

Submitted to: VACCINES AN-D RELATED BIOLOGICAL PRODUSTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE   Jan 31, 2001

Excerpt:

The people who have contacted us were, prior to vaccination with LYMErix, healthy, active and energetic. Indeed, the very reason they sought the LYMErix vaccine was their desire to preserve their healthy, active lifestyle. However, what they experienced was a dramatic degradation of their health and quality of life. As will be described below, these previously healthy individuals are now afflicted with painful, at times debilitating arthritic symptoms, including joint pain and swelling, as well as extremely severe Lyme-disease-like symptoms which have persisted to this day.

Hospital COVID Protocols: The Grace Schara Case (WI)

Hospital COVID Protocols: The Grace Schara Case

IMA Co-Founders Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Joseph Varon are joined by Scott Schara and his attorney Warner Mendenhall to discuss medical advocacy, advance directives, and hospital accountability.

When Grace Schara died in a Wisconsin hospital during the COVID pandemic, her family began asking difficult questions about consent, protocol, and patient rights. This week, IMA Co-Founders Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Joseph Varon are joined by Grace’s father, Scott Schara, and his attorney, Warner Mendenhall of Freedom Counsel, to revisit the case and discuss the broader implications for medical advocacy, advance directives, and hospital accountability.

We’ll explore the concerns raised around medication protocols, Do Not Intubate orders, and access to records—alongside the lessons learned about legal barriers, family involvement, and the importance of independent medical advocates. The conversation is shaped by IMA’s longstanding commitment to restoring the doctor-patient relationship and building safeguards that empower patients and families.

Whether you’re entering the hospital yourself or bringing a loved one for care, the assumption is that medical staff will do everything possible to help. But the tragic story of 19-year-old Grace reveals just how wrong things can go when trust breaks down, protocols fail, and communication vanishes.

Grace Schara entered St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Wisconsin with low oxygen saturation during the COVID pandemic in October 2021. Her father, Scott Schara, believed she would simply receive oxygen therapy and come home safely. Instead, Grace passed away just days later under circumstances that sparked outrage and questions nationwide.

In the years following, Scott’s grief turned to advocacy, ultimately leading to Schara v. Ascension Health, the first COVID-era hospital negligence case in America to reach a jury trial. The landmark lawsuit, concluded on June 19, 2025, lasted three weeks and was passionately argued by a dedicated legal team led by Warner Mendenhall and Freedom Counsel.

Despite compelling expert testimony and a deeply sympathetic case, the jury ruled in favor of the hospital. Still, Scott and Warner remain undeterred. Their fight for justice continues—and so does the urgent conversation their case has sparked. In this powerful webinar, they reflect on what went wrong, what patients and families need to know, and how all of us, providers included, can help prevent tragedies like this from happening again.

Misunderstandings: “Do Not Intubate” (DNI) and “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR)

Regardless of the jury’s verdict, the case has opened the door to vital lessons every patient, family, and provider needs to understand.

IMA co-founders, doctors Joseph Varon and Paul Marik, both experienced critical care physicians at Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), weighed in addressing the shocking failures in Grace’s care. They highlighted systemic misunderstandings around crucial terms like “Do Not Intubate” (DNI) and “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR).

Dr. Marik explained:

“DNR means when a person is dead… not to resuscitate them. That’s what it means. It doesn’t mean do not treat, do not manage. It’s only when a patient is actually dead, heart has stopped beating and they’re clinically dead, that you do cardiopulmonary resuscitation… the DNI part complicates the issue.”

Dr. Varon emphasized the critical role of open, honest communication:

“I’m sure that if somebody told you ‘do not intubate’ means ‘do not resuscitate,’ you would have said ‘go ahead and intubate right now.’”

Under any circumstances, it’s unreasonable to expect patients and families to decode complex medical terminology in moments of crisis. But COVID has made one thing painfully clear: we must be prepared to ask questions, advocate for ourselves and our loved ones, and demand clarity.  (See link for article and video)
