To: Annemarie G. Hirsch, Corresponding Author

I read your manuscript with great interest and wanted to share a comment on your article I received from a fellow researcher who has experienced first-hand the devastation of Lyme disease. I added HTML links (references) to his statement and included my own comment. Additionally, I have a question for you and your co-authors.

Comment received:

“With respect may I say as Lyme and PTLD victim, Borrelia has the following characteristics:

It likes to evade the immune system and treatments by invading cartilage etc.
It has a persister form (round body) when the environmental conditions are unfavorable.
It has a biofilm form that protects the bacteria.

Or, maybe it’s as the authors claim that PTLD is associated with:

“Our top index single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs77857587, is in high linkage disequilibrium with a long-range protein quantitative locus SNP, rs111774530, for the MARC2 (Mitochondrial Amidoxime Reducing Component 2) protein.”

Carl Tuttle’s comment:

If I’m interpreting his comment correctly, it would appear that we have been dealing with an antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug and essentially, “the emperor has no clothes.”

Question:

What academic discipline would you encounter if your department acknowledged chronic Lyme disease and began focusing on finding effective antimicrobial treatments for all borrelia forms; round body, biofilm etc.?

A response to this inquiry is requested.

Metagenomics Reveal Bartonella in the Shadow of Long COVID

UPDATE:

Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson

March 3, 2025

Harvard trained pathologist, Dr. Cole, was among the first to note mysterious blood clots in deceased people who’d been ‘vaccinated’ with the COVID gene therapy.

American virologist Dr. Robert R. Redfield, who served as the director of the CDC during the ‘pandemic,’ has admitted that reports of ‘so-called Long Covid’ are actually a cover-up for global surges of “mRNA vaccine injury.”

Unmasking Bartonella henselae infection in the shadows of long COVID thanks to clinical metagenomics

PMID: 38472519
DOI: 10.1007/s10096-024-04801-2

Abstract

The diagnosis of long COVID often relies on symptoms post-COVID-19, occasionally lacking biological evidence. This case study illustrates how investigating long COVID uncovered an underlying bartonellosis through clinical metagenomics. Following mild COVID-19, a 26-year-old woman experienced persistent symptoms during 5 months, including axillary adenopathy. Pathological examination, 16 S rRNA PCR, and clinical metagenomic analysis were done on an adenopathy biopsy. The latter revealed Bartonella henselae DNA and RNA. Treatment with clarithromycin improved symptoms. This case underscores the relevance of clinical metagenomics in diagnosing hidden infections. Post-COVID symptoms warrant thorough investigation, and bartonellosis should be considered in polyadenopathy cases, regardless of a recent history of cat or flea exposures.

_______________

**Comment**

Axillary adenopathy, or swollen lymph nodes under the armpit, are common with Bartonella – but also with other things as well. It’s the body’s response for a foreign invader.

For those that read information on this website know – ‘long COVID’ has been linked to the COVID gene therapy injection, as well as mask wearing, but mainstream media and research are not even considering them. Another little factoid is the fact is that another recent study admonishes against using the term Long COVID as the symptoms are no worse than those after the flu. In fact, PCR testing can’t distinguish between COVID and the flu. So, what in fact is causing lingering symptoms in some people and how severe are they actually?

Sadly, this abstract doesn’t inform us as to the ‘vaccination’ and mask status of the patient. A review of masks show contaminants that are carcinogenic and infectious as well the fact masks make people sick.

ALL research from here on out needs to identify the patient’s ‘vaccination’ status, how many injections they’ve received, as well as if they are mask wearers.

Hopefully, people are becoming aware that ‘vaccines’ serve as triggers to upset the immune system, which can allow hidden infections to suddenly give noticeable symptoms.

Another important point is the choice of clarithromycin for Bartonella treatment. While this is partly a good choice, any experienced Lyme literate doctor would know to pair this with rifampin. Antibiotic resistance can and does happen so treatment should do all to avoid this possibility, and using at least two antibiotics simultaneously is one such method, and unfortunately, even then, relapses often occur.

Pharma-Sponsored Media Launches Measles Fear Campaign Based on Distorted Science

UPDATE:

Numerous deaths have now occurred after the MMR vaccine, but the emphasis is always placed upon the virus.

Stanford scientists confirm a fatal case of vaccine-associated measles encephalitis in an immunocompromised child.

In this case, the vaccine measles virus hypermutated to a fatal strain that invaded the brain and killed the child.

If the child was unvaccinated, the AML would have been treated in the usual fashion, with a good chance at survival. Source

International news sources pounced when a 6-year old Texas child died. They blamed the fact she was unvaccinated, but the true cause of death was multiple co-existing respiratory illnesses.

Measles outbreaks occur every year across the U.S. despite 90.8% MMR vaccine uptake.

It’s easy for the media to push measles fear porn due to the fact the CDC obfuscates vaccine data by classifying 95% of measles cases as ‘unvaccinated or unknown’– two fundamentally different categories.

Truth be told, measles cases with unknown vaccination status may in fact be vaccinated.

The CDC purposely merges unknown cases with unvaccinated ones maximizing the association between measles cases and non-vaccination while obscuring uncertainty in the data. It purposely does not apply the same logic in reverse – merging ‘unknown cases with vaccinated cases maximizing the association between measles cases and vaccination, which very well could be true.

This allows them to smugly reinforce a predetermined narrative.

You won’t hear these little factoids from mainstream media.

Pharma-Sponsored Media Launches Measles Fear Campaign Based on Distorted Science

Media-driven panic over measles ignores real risks, natural disease patterns, and the role of vaccine shedding.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Feb 27, 2025

A google search for ‘measles’ reveals the coordinated fear campaign propagated by pharma-sponsored mass media:

Is there a reason to cower in fear as the news suggests and rush to get MMR booster shots? No, especially not for healthy children. However, we must remember that children with multiple comorbidities can face serious outcomes, as with any disease. It’s important to approach these discussions with a level-headed assessment of individual risk rather than reacting to sensationalized headlines.

Measles outbreaks occur every year across the United States despite 90.8% MMR vaccine uptake:

Shedding of measles vaccine RNA is a recognized phenomenon, with detectable levels in nasopharyngeal samples for up to 29 days post-vaccination (Washam et al). This shedding results from the replication of the attenuated vaccine virus, which can be transmitted to close contacts. (See link for article, studies, and graphs)

_______________

Important point:

A study by Miller, published prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine—found for measles:

hospitalization rate of 11.5 per 1,000 cases
mortality rate of 0.2 per 1,000 cases

In comparison, seasonal influenza:

hospitalization rate of 10–20 per 1,000 cases
mortality rate of 0.5–2 per 1,000 cases

Dissolving Illusions by Bystrianyk and Humphries indicates that measles-related deaths in children are overwhelmingly linked to malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency.

Please also recognize the scam of media reports using a positive test rather than cause of death. Testing positive means little as we saw with COVID. People tested positive and didn’t have ANY symptoms whatsoever.

Just like the COVID shot the measles vaccine does not protect against infection and destroys natural immunity.

BREAKING–First-in-Man Oral Proteolytic and Thrombolytic Dissolution of Intra-Arterial COVID-19 Vaccine Thrombi

Complex Blend of Oral Enzymes and Natural Ingredients Clears Brain Fog and Removes Impending Stroke Risk in Heavily Vaccinated Patient

Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

Feb 24, 2025

Article Excerpt:

In this breaking interview, Dr. Takuji Shirasawa from the Ochanomizu Health and Longevity Clinic describes a 60-year old Japanese man who took 4 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines and presented with a loss of mental clarity otherwise known as “brain fog.” Shirasawa used MR angiography to demonstrate sessile bilateral arterial thrombi in the carotid bulbs. His hypothesis was that mini-blood clots may be responsible for the neurological and cognitive symptoms.

Shirasawa performed a N-of-1 trial giving the patient a complex blend of oral proteolytic and thrombolytic enzymes featuring nattokinase, bromelain, serrapeptase, and papain adding over a dozen natural ingredients given in proprietary blends from Texas based Phytomedic Labs. The patient was also administered aspirin 100 mg per day. (See link for article & video)

Bromelain & Vitamin C in Chronic Venous Disease

Role of Bromelain and Vitamin C in Chronic Venous Disease

Proteolytic, Anticoagulant, Anti-Oxidative Properties Promising in Clinical Review

Feb 26, 2025

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

Chronic venous disease with dilated leg veins and swelling is a curse for many patients as they get older. Because of the popularity of McCullough Protocol Base Spike Detoxification, many patients are now taking bromelain on a regular basis. This is derived from pineapple and is a family of enzymes that break down proteins and blood clots within the body. Vitamin C is well recognized as a necessary water soluble vitamin, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Because sluggish blood flow is invariably related to micro blood clots and inflammation in the legs, Buso et al set out the review the data on bromelain and vitamin C as two over the counter remedies for this common problem.
