As tick-borne Lyme disease continues to spread in Pennsylvania and other Chesapeake Bay drainage states, a new study suggests more use of prescribed burns on public and private forests could help reduce both the numbers of ticks and incidence of the disease.
In a paper published in Ecological Applications, researchers from Penn State, the U.S. Forest Service and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said the increased use of prescribed fire by forest managers to control invasive plants, improve wildlife habitat and restore ecosystem health can also help knock down the tick problem.

HOW COMMON IS LYME CARDITIS IN PATIENTS REFERRED FOR PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION?
Atrioventricular blocks (AVBs) due to an infection have rarely been reported. However, “Borrelia burgdorferi is increasingly noted as responsible for a considerable number of infection-related AVBs, and AVBs have been reported as the most common clinical presentation of [Lyme carditis],” according to the authors of a newly published study.
Investigators examined 130 patients with AVB who had been consecutively admitted over a 12-month period, to the Department of Electrocardiology Medical University of Lodz, Poland, for implantation of a permanent pacemaker.
All of the patients underwent serological testing for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl).
The majority of the patients had arterial hypertension (64.6%), approximately 1 in 4 had ischemic heart disease (26.2%) and 1 in 5 suffered from diabetes (19.9%) and dyslipidemia (21.9%).
“Atrial fibrillation was reported by 23 patients (17.7%). One sixth (22; 16.9%) of the patients had a history of heart failure, including 13 individuals (10.0%) with a reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction,” according to Kaczmarek et al.
Lyme carditis in patients admitted for pacemaker implants
Out of the 130 patients, 30 (23.1%) individuals tested positive for Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. “IgM seropositivity indicating acute phase was found in 16 of them (12.3%), which together with clinical scenario of AVB led to initial diagnosis of LC.”
The authors found that Lyme carditis was assumed as the initial diagnosis in 16 patients based on ABV and IgM Bbsl seropositivity.
In 10% of these patients, Lyme carditis was identified as the potential cause of AV conduction disturbances.
“In clinical practice, patients with [Lyme carditis] diagnosis at admission typically receive antibiotics, which seem to be highly effective in resolving advanced atrioventricular conduction abnormalities.”
The clinical characteristics were similar between the Lyme carditis and non-LC group. Nearly 40% of patients in both groups had complete heart block, while second-degree AVB was identified in over 50% of patients in the LC and non-LC group.
The patients did not exhibit any signs or symptoms of acute myocarditis or endocarditis. “Therefore, the atrioventricular conduction disturbances were found to be the unique clinical presentation of [Lyme carditis] in our study group.”
Additionally, Lyme carditis patients were younger and more often exhibited constitutional symptoms of infection, along with fluctuating atrioventricular conduction abnormalities.
Authors Conclude:
“Lyme carditis should be considered as the initial diagnosis in a relatively high number of patients (8%) admitted with atrioventricular blocks for a permanent pacemaker implantation.”
“The prevalence of LC was even higher (12%) in the patients without obvious causes of a cardiac conduction system dysfunction.”
“We confirmed that the fluctuating nature of AVBs reported previously in case reports should be taken into account as a strong predictor of LC in patients referred for a pacemaker implantation.”
“We suggest that atrioventricular conduction behavior observed on ECG monitoring should be included in the diagnostic process of AVBs that could be potentially [Lyme carditis-related].”

**Comment**
Imagine all the patients who are seronegative who are kicked to the curb even though they very well may have Lyme carditis and would improve or become well with appropriate treatment.
Dr. Michael Yeadon in this video states that companies are now remanufacturing every old vaccine into the mRNA platform and that there are written contracts with governments for 10 shots per citizen which the body can’t withstand.
Moderna’s products just keep rolling off the assembly line. The company states its mRNA RSV “vaccine” is “effective.” It plans to file a request for approval from the FDA yet this year. Pfizer submitted a request for expedited review of its mRNA version of an RSV vaccine for older adults last December. And several new government and industry-funded studies are underway to develop mRNA “vaccines” for livestock. The gravy-train for mRNA products is running full steam ahead and includes a new flu shot, an annual COVID shot, a shot to “prevent” RSV in bovines, a COVID shot for zoo animals, as well as black-footed ferrets, and third-generation “vaccines” for pets and wild animals.
All this despite many experts statingmRNA products are unstable and circulate systemically via the blood, causing cells to take up messenger RNA which is expressing a foreign new antigen throughout the body. The body sees this foreign new antigen as aninvader – like an autoimmunedisease.
It has never been proven that mRNA genetic therapy injections are any better than previous vaccines.
The amount of antigen can not be controlled in the mRNA platform.
Due to reverse transcriptase(an enzyme within our cells), the implications are unknown if the mRNA platform could produce a potential cancerrisk or transgenerational expression.
mRNA vaccines, besides the current diabolical experiment with the COVID shot, have “NEVER been effectively been put into humans before, except one or two where it didn’t work very well. This is a massive experiment. The vaccines are actually registered as experimental vaccines.“ ~ Professor Robert Clancy
‘Science Fiction Medicine’: Moderna Developing mRNA Injection to Treat Heart Failure
In a Jan. 9 update on the company’s “industry-leading mRNA pipeline,” Moderna told investors it is developing multiple new mRNA products — including a treatment designed to be injected directly into the hearts of patients who have sustained heart attacks or heart failure.

How conveniently timely.
SUMMARY:
Clinical trials are in Poland and the UK.
“It’s a bit like science fiction medicine but that’s what is really exciting to me.” ~ Stéphane Bancel, Moderna CEO
Like the COVID shots, there is no safety track record for this type of genetic therapy
“There is no safety track record for genetic therapies that introduce functional code for production of a protein for an uncontrolled quantity and uncontrolled duration of time. There are no assurances on long-term safety of mRNA technology.” ~ Dr. Peter McCullough, Cardiologist and immunologist
“In short, Moderna will fix the problem it created.” ~ The Gateway Pundit
Moderna has 48 programs in development including 36 in clinical studies with:
flu
RSV
cytomegalovirus
cystic fibrosis (inhalable mRNA therapy)
personalized cancer “vaccine”
Moderna also has acquired OriCiro Genomics (specializes in cell-free synthesis and amplification of plasmid DNA, a key building block of mRNA manufacturing).
Moderna has a collaboration with CytomX Therapeutics for the development of mRNA-based therapeutics for cancer.
Moderna has an ongoing partnership with Metagenomi, funded by Bayer which acquired Monsanto, to accelerate development of in vivo gene editing therapeutics.
mRNA technology is the new golden calf, cash cow of Big Pharma and our corrupt government. Researchers have been working on it for decades with ZERO success until COVID when it was rammed forward under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), with much less scrutiny/testing than usual. All you have to do is look around at the carnage to see it is unsafe due to antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) and the unbelievably high rate of adverse events.

Bartonella Treatment in Lyme Disease—A Lot Has Changed
The latest laboratory experiments suggest effective Bartonella treatments must do more than kill growing germ forms—they should also kill hibernating persister forms of Bartonella and include agents to remove biofilms and fibrin nests.
Persisters and Biofilms
Research published in 2019 and early 2020 is changing the approach I take to treat Bartonella. Previously, research showed Bartonella has rapidly growing germ forms; therefore, the antibiotics I recommended in the past treated growing forms only. New research shows that Bartonella also has non-growing forms called persisters. Think of a persister as a hibernating form of the germ that ignores most antibiotics and immune system attacks. This new research also shows that Bartonella forms protective sugar-slime coverings called biofilms. These biofilms can block the immune system and antibiotics from reaching Bartonella. This new research is based on petri-dish laboratory experiments.
Bartonella-Fibrin Nests
In addition to these key findings, some with chronic Bartonella may require enzymes to break up nests of Bartonella and the blood clotting protein called fibrin that can form in narrow and small blood vessels. These Bartonella nests limit blood flow to tissues and may block antimicrobials and the immune system from killing these germs. Lumbrokinase, a group of enzymes that come from earthworms, is very effective at breaking up fibrin. Other options include nattokinase or serapeptase, but these enzymes are much weaker than lumbrokinase. (See link for article)

In fact, safety signal reports have been labeled “misinformation” by the very capturedagencies that are now admitting the obvious.
Researchers, including researchers who reanalyzed trial data, have been coming forward for two years with damning information including the fact the “vaccine” increases serious adverse events at a rate of 1 in 800. Even heroic moms with science backgrounds have exposed the fraudulent data being used to push the shots.
Yet now, the truth appears to be penetrating the shields of those ignoring the signs for two years. Many feel they knew all along the shots were dangerous and that when enough people collapsed and died they would eventually be caught. But, they won’t really be “caught.” They never are. They will simply point at someone else, and slither away. Then, they will offer a solution that will allegedly clean the bodies of the toxic spike protein, contaminants, and other pollutants. And of course, they will profit financially. The very people behind the entire mess will stay in power and continue to do what they do best: control others and monopolize every aspect of life while taking money to the bank.
One possible “solution” is a mRNA treatment designed to be injected directly into the heart of those who have sustained heart attacks, which is quite convenient as the clot shots are linked directly to heart issues.
Now they can money on the front end and the back end.
BTW: another study just confirmed the results of the IgG4 immune switch in the “vaxxed,” but even with fewer shots. Some speculate that because the immune system in the “vaxxed” has been trained to allow COVID to remain in the body, they are getting ill but are now unable to clear whatever infection they have. This explains what is being seen in the real world.
A safety monitoring system flagged that U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech’s updated COVID-19 shot could be linked to a type of brain stroke in older adults, according to preliminary data analyzed by U.S. health authorities.
Red Flags are going off…
The recommendation:
This safety concern has not been identified with Moderna’s bivalent shot and both the CDC and FDA continue to recommend that everyone aged 6 months and older stay up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccination. (Reporting by Bhanvi Satija in Bengaluru; Editing by Devika Syamnath)
Just get a Moderna Shot instead.
This will lead to chaos, my friends…and well it should!
Because too many people have been asleep for too long!
And what about those under 65?
Remember the first myocarditis reports?
People with heart attacks?
And all of those people who you heard about dying, from a stroke, that nobody believed could be caused by the Jabs?
Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 possibly more likely to infect the vaccinated: officials
By Julia Musto, Fox News
January 14, 2023New York City health officials are warning residents that the infectious omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 may be more likely to infect people who have already been vaccinated or infected with COVID-19.
“Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 now accounts for 73% of all sequenced COVID-19 cases in NYC,” the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene tweeted on Friday. ” XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19.”

In the upside down world of COVID, “officials” still are recommending the clot shot despite hospitalization data since last August showing that more “vaccinated”are dying of Covid than unvaccinated. UK data show the unvaxxed have lower mortality. Boosters are only 30% protective despite a perfect strain match. At the beginning of the pandemic, the WHO required any qualifying “vaccine” be at least 50% effective, yet now everyone is content to settle for 30%, and that increase the risk of infection with each dose given. Illogic at its best.
The FDA and CDC are beyond hope and rehabilitation. They are captured agencies that quit concerning themselves with health a long, long time ago. I would not hold my breath for the CDC to investigate anything. Lyme/MSIDS patients have been waiting for over 40 years and unfortunately still work with this corrupt agency that hasn’t done one single positive thing for them.
Further the CDC continues to twist information for its own purpose. In the latest case, it states bivalent boosters reduce the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization by 80% in people over 65. What fails to mention is that the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization during the 70-day period of observation is 0.055%, or 1 in 1,818.The booster offered a 0.048% risk reduction in hospitalization. And because the CDC doesn’t show what the risk of ischemic stroke is — only that it is “increased” — it is impossible to draw any conclusions about risk vs. benefit. Source
