Abstract

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), or anaplasmosis, is a tick-borne illness caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, a gram-negative intracellular bacterium. A. phagocytophilum is primarily transmitted by Ixodes scapularis in the northeast United States and by Ixodes pacificus in California. Presenting symptoms typically include fever, chills, malaise, headache, myalgia, and rarely a rash. This case describes a 61-year-old Black male with a complex medical history, including prior tick-borne and arboviral infections (Lyme disease, dengue fever, and chikungunya), hypertension, mixed hyperlipidemia, bilateral carotid artery dissection, gastroesophageal reflux disease, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, and current tobacco use. This patient presented to an emergency department in upstate New York with a fever, fatigue, constipation, myalgia, and night sweats. Throughout the patient’s hospital course, he maintained a state of relative bradycardia. The patient reported that he had returned from Haiti and the Dominican Republic two weeks prior to presentation in the emergency department and received several mosquito bites while abroad. Initial guideline-based empiric treatment was started with doxycycline due to suspicion of tick-borne illness, given his history of Lyme disease and his onset of symptoms while in upstate New York. Treatment was continued to complete a 14-day course after confirming the diagnosis of anaplasmosis by PCR testing of whole blood. After completing treatment with doxycycline, the patient’s symptoms resolved completely. This case illustrates a unique finding of relative bradycardia and fever of unknown origin in the context of recent international travel and history of tick-borne and arboviral infections.

Study: Lyme Can Not Survive Inside Mosquitoes Or Be Transmitted to Mice

Why You Can Cross Mosquitoes Off Your Lyme Disease-Worry-List

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.

Lawsuit Accuses Top Officials of Facilitating Weapons of Mass Destruction

UPDATE:

There are three crucial cases American Physicians & Surgeons Educational Foundation (AAPS) is currently pursuing:

  1. AAPS filed on Monday an expansion to its federal lawsuit against the Biden Administration and board-certifying organizations that threatened to, and sometimes have, revoked board certifications of physicians based on their outspokenness on matters of public policy.  This includes doctors who advocated for ivermectin to treat COVID. In this precedent-setting lawsuit, AAPS seeks to establish that ABIM, ABOG, and ABFM have engaged in “state action” in threatening or revoking physicians’ board certifications, which are necessary to practice medicine in most hospitals. “The Biden Administration has also wrongly caused social media platforms to take down postings and videos.” ~ Attorney Andrew Schlafly
  2. AAPS served a lawsuit on Oct 11, seeking to block the upcoming requirement that tens of millions of Americans provide their personal information to federal agencies beginning Jan 1, 2025. The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) imposes this new reporting requirement on more than 30 million entities such as small businesses, sports clubs, civic groups, and political organizations. With its threatened punishment of two years in federal jail, the CTA requires that tens of millions of ordinary, law-abiding Americans report their home addresses, birthdates, and driver’s license or similar personal identifying numbers to the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), the Complaint states.  The CTA comprised only 21 pages, camouflaged among nearly 1,500 total pages in a rushed, end-of-year annual appropriation in 2020.
  3. Building on two recent victories — one in Ohio to protect children from irreversible harm, after we filed a strong amicus brief against transgender procedures on minors, and the second in U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit (read our amicus) preventing taxpayer funds from being spent on transgender surgery — AAPS is proud to join a coalition led by the American College of Pediatricians asking the Supreme court of the United States to uphold a Tennessee law blocking transgender operations, and use of related drugs, for children.

I highly recommend reading Naomi Wolf’s work to understand the unbelievable devastation the COVID shots have caused, how some towns are voting to ban them, and how they truly are ‘crimes against humanity,’ because the FDA knew about this since at least early 2021 but tried to hide it.

Biden Admin Accused of ‘Murder,’ ‘Treason,’ ‘Genocide,’ and Use of ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ with COVID-19 Shots, 5G, Chemtrails, Mosquitos: Texas Lawsuit

Plaintiffs claim to have been “targeted with biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.”

A monumental lawsuit filed on October 15, 2024, in the Southern District of Texas accuses Joe Biden, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Alejandro Mayorkas, and other top officials of “murder,” “treason,” “genocide,” and facilitating the use of weapons of mass destruction.

The plaintiffs in Yellen et al v. Biden et al (Case No. 3:24-cv-00297) argue that the administration’s policies, particularly concerning COVID-19 vaccines, 5G technology, and chemtrails, are part of a deliberate plan to harm the American public.

The 114-page filing lists an array of alleged crimes that extend into multiple domains, demanding immediate court action.

The plaintiffs bring forth an expansive case against prominent government officials, including President Joe Biden, Dr. Rochelle Walensky (former director of the CDC), and Alejandro Mayorkas (Secretary of Homeland Security), along with other high-ranking members of various federal agencies, such as the FBI and FEMA.

The lawsuit also names numerous “Jane/John Does,” representing individuals within these agencies whom the plaintiffs allege are complicit in a mass-scale assault on U.S. citizens.

One of the lawsuit’s most startling claims is that the Biden administration’s actions amount to “genocide” under 18 U.S. Code §1091.  (See link for article and lawsuit)

While the public has been shrewdly deflected with a ‘climate’ agenda making them slow slow to accept the fact our own government sprays poisons into our air, documents from 50 years ago acknowledge the reality of weather warfare by the DOD, which is essential for the ‘climate change‘ and technocratic  transhumansim agendas.  Under the auspice of needing to modify the weather due to a supposed, out of control ‘climate emergency,’ they have been spraying polymer filaments, smart dust, toxic heavy metals, and engineered pathogens not just for weather warfare but also to sicken the entire population.

It’s all part of The Great Reset run by a unelected global cabal.

Pathogens & Persistence: The Chronic Disease Drivers

Oct. 6, 2024

Ticktective™ Episode 43 (Oct 6, 2024):

Steven E. Phillips, MD, is a Yale-trained expert on zoonotic infections and coauthor of the book CHRONIC. He specializes in treating medicine’s most complex cases, which include Lyme & other vector-borne diseases and Long COVID. Additionally, he has served as an expert for the states of CT, NY, RI, and VT, providing testimony during their respective public hearings, which resulted in changes to existing healthcare laws. Dr. Phillips has been a longstanding public face of the Lyme pandemic. He is currently spearheading a drug development effort to bring the public a durable, effective treatment for some of these infections, which will hopefully change how we treat a range of rheumatologic and neurologic illnesses. Dr. Phillips also sits on the Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s scientific advisory board.

Despite parental pushback, officials approve curfew in Mass. town amid critical EEE risk

By Boston 25 News Staff

OXFORD, Mass. — Health officials in one of four Massachusetts communities facing a critical risk for Eastern Equine Encephalitis met Wednesday night at a special meeting to discuss measures to keep residents safe, ultimately approving a townwide curfew.

As of Wednesday, the towns of Oxford, Douglas, Sutton, and Webster were considered at critical risk for EEE, according to the latest Massachusetts arbovirus risk map.

The towns were elevated to the high-risk level after a man in his 80s recently tested positive for EEE last week.  (See link for article)

______________

**Comment**

The curfew set at 6pm will shift to 5pm starting Oct 1 and will last through the first frost.

Please note all of this due to one 80 year old man testing positive.

Please note that EEE is a nationally notifiable condition.  This means they are counting cases and keeping track of it.  Bartonella, on the other hand, isn’t, yet can make you miserable or kill you just the same.

The CDC webpages state:

  • Eastern equine encephalitis virus IgM testing is available commercially, at some state health departments, and at CDC.
  • A positive eastern equine encephalitis virus IgM test result should be confirmed by neutralizing antibody testing at a state public health laboratory or CDC.
  • Some patients who are severely immunocompromised might require molecular (e.g., RT-PCR) testing for diagnosis.
  • Most persons infected with eastern equine encephalitis virus have no apparent illness. Symptomatic persons typically develop a systemic febrile illness that can progress in <5% of individuals to meningitis or encephalitis. The incubation period for eastern equine encephalitis ranges from 4 to 10 days but can be several weeks in patients who are immunocompromised.
  • Signs and symptoms in patients with neuroinvasive disease can include headache, meningismus, confusion, focal neurologic deficits, seizures, and coma.
  • Eastern equine encephalitis should be considered in any person with an acute febrile or neurologic illness who has had recent exposure to mosquitoes, especially during the summer months in areas where virus activity has been reported.
  • EEE has a fatality rate of 30%.  Of those that recover, more than half are left with physical or neurologic sequelae.

The article doesn’t state how this elderly man was tested but I’ll bet my hat it was PCR, which inventor Kary Mullis states should never be used to diagnose anybody.

The article also doesn’t state whether this man even has symptoms or how severe they symptoms are.

Does all of this look and feel like deja vu?

It should.

Anthony Fauci recovering at home after hospitalization for West Nile virus

Former head of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease is expected to make a full recovery

Anthony Fauci is recovering at home from a West Nile virus infection, a spokesperson told news outlets on Saturday.

The former head of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease was hospitalized for six days with the virus. Fauci, 83, is expected to make a full recovery.

“Tony Fauci has been hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus. He is now home and is recovering. A full recovery is expected,” a spokesperson told multiple outlets.

Fauci retired from his role at the NIH in 2022 after achieving widespread recognition for his role in public health communication during the Covid-19 pandemic. He now serves as a distinguished professor at Georgetown University’s School of Medicine. (See link for article)

CDC webpages state:

  • West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the U.S.
  • Most people with West Nile do not feel sick.  (About 1 in 5 have fever and symptoms)
  • Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.
  • There are no vaccines to prevent or medicines to treat West Nile virus disease (West Nile) in people.

Please note that all sorts of shenanigans have been done for decades against mosquitoes and nobody knows the effects of these interventions.  As in the case of ‘vaccines,’ man-made interventions to kill bugs often have deleterious effects on biological health, which few are tracking.
