BORRELIA MIYAMOTOI CAN BE TRANSMITTED FROM MOTHER TICKS TO OFFSPRING
Lyme disease and Borrelia miyamotoi can be transmitted from a tick to a host and vice versa (horizontal transmission). B. miyamotoi can also be transmitted from the mother to their offspring (vertical transmission).
In their article “Borrelia miyamotoi: A Comprehensive Review. Pathogens,” Cleveland and colleagues discuss Borrelia miyamotoi as an emerging tick-borne pathogen and and how it can be transmitted from a mother tick to their offspring.
Cleveland et al. reviewed the proposed vertical transmission of B. miyamotoi.¹
An adult female tick infected with B. miyamotoi lays eggs.
The larva hatch from these eggs infected with B. miyamotoi.
The larva, nymph and adult ticks remain infected.
Ticks can acquire B. miyamotoi after feeding on an infected tick – called horizontal transmission.
Cleveland et al. reviewed the proposed horizontal transmission of B. miyamoti.¹
The larva, nymph and adult ticks acquire B. miyamoti from feeding on an infected host.
The larva, nymph and adult ticks remain infected.
“B. miyamotoi can be transmitted from infected ticks to naïve mice during the first 24 hours of feeding,” the authors wrote.
B. miyamotoi can be transmitted to mice initially through the salivary glands and subsequently transmitted through the midgut.
Concerns surrounding Borrelia miyamotoi
Shapiro and Wormser summarized the challenges associated with B. miyamotoi in the Journal of the American Medical Association.²
“This bacterium can be transmitted within the first 24 hours of tick attachment.”
“The probability of transmission increases with every day an infected tick is allowed to remain attached.”
While some patients with Lyme disease may exhibit a rash, “patients infected with B. miyamotoi in the United States typically do not have a rash.” But they may present with “a fever in conjunction with headache (96%), myalgia (84%), arthralgia (76%), and malaise/fatigue (82%).”
There are no diagnostic tests for B. miyamotoi infection that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
The fever may be relapsing.
“Laboratory abnormalities include leukopenia (51%) and thrombocytopenia (60%), which are rarely seen in Lyme disease.” [Editor’s note: These are also seen in Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis.]
“Severely immunocompromised patients may develop chronic meningitis.”
Fortunately, doxycycline and amoxicillin have been shown to effectively treat B. miyamotoi infection in patients, including those who are immunocompromised.
Editor’s notes: Fevers are infrequent and often do not relapse. The laboratory abnormalities seen in B. miyamotoi are also seen in Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis. Long-term outcome studies are needed.

The Heartland virus (HRTV) is an emerging tick-borne illness which can be acquired through the bite of an infected Lone Star tick. The virus was first reported in 2009 in Missouri. Since then, it has spread to other states including Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, and North Carolina, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The man was admitted to the hospital in November 2021 with a fever, diarrhea, dyspnea, myalgias, and malaise which had been ongoing for 5 days. He had a history of a splenectomy, hypertension, remote trauma, coronary artery disease, and hypertension.
The patient did not recall a tick bite and did not have an erythema migrans rash.
“The range of [Heartland virus] could be expanding in the United States.”
“An arboviral disease was the leading diagnostic consideration, but limited availability of commercial diagnostic testing for tickborne diseases delayed diagnosis,” wrote Liu et al.
The man was treated clinically for a tick-borne infection with doxycycline.
“Two days later, on day 7 after symptom onset, the patient returned to the emergency department with confusion, an unsteady gait, and new fecal and urinary incontinence,” according to the authors.
He subsequently developed encephalopathy, low sodium, abnormal liver function tests, and fatigue.
“He had acute respiratory failure, renal failure, and a cardiac arrest. He was transitioned to comfort care and died on day 13 after symptom onset,” wrote Liu et al.
An autopsy revealed that the heart, spleen, kidney, and liver samples were positive for Heartland virus.
The Virginia Department of Health conducted a drag of the man’s property and found 193 Lone Star ticks. However, none of the ticks contained HRTV.

Recently, Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) made a report from 2021 available to the public. Titled “Nonclinical Evaluation Report BNT162b2 [mRNA] COVID-19 Vaccine (COMIRNATYTM)” the document provides inputs from the preclinical work involving the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 (Comirnaty) via Pfizer Australia pty Ltd. A bombshell actually, the TGA, the agency that is supposed to “safeguard and enhance the health of the Australian community through effective and timely regulation of therapeutic goods” seemingly let the pharmaceutical company dictate the risk-benefit analysis. At the height of the pandemic and the onset of the mass COVID-19 “vaccination” rollout starting February 22, 2021, the data in this document wasn’t shared with the public. But why not? Would the data (or lack thereof) associated with this report lead to more “vaccine” hesitancy?
You bet it would.
Take a look at the graph where it’s clear the “vaccine” spreads into the brain, liver, bone marrow, spleen, thyroid, small intestine, ovaries and virtually everywhere in the body. Dr. Byram Bridle obtained the biodistribution data nearly two years ago from the Japanese government through a FOIA and made this information known back then but was vilified mercilessly over it.
The spike proteins within the “vaccine” have destroyed the ability to repair single and double stranded DNA. This will cause the body to adapt and attempt survival as the body fails at replenishing vital cells that need to be repaired. The result will be accelerated aging due to the inability to repair damaged DNA. The “vaccine” will exploit and accentuate any and all comorbidities leading to deterioration of health. Although most “vaccinated” individuals know that something has gone terribly wrong within their bodies, they want to “cure” this feeling with another booster. Unfortunately, with every shot, their minds are becoming more forgetful, body aches are becoming painful, dizziness episodes increase as well as periodic fluttering heart events, and exhaustion. The study at the end looked at how the spike protein inhibits repair pathways which would affect women who inherit a specific gene mutation (BRCA1) and have a much higher risk (over 70%) of developing breast cancer, as well as causes an aberrant expression of a specific gene (53BP1) which contributes to tumor occurrence and development – which will affect a host of cancers.
The spike protein, in essence, works as the perfect bioweapon sowing seeds of self-destruction via most efficient endothelial delivery.
Excerpt:
…the Spike Protein is a designed viral fragment that has been attached to a coronavirus as a delivery mechanism. This viral fragment causes ARDS, multiple organ failure and death in a very few due to the initial phase of the Syndrome it induces. This is what I have called SPED. Spike Protein Endothelial Disease.
The second phase of this Syndrome I had initially thought was a Progeria syndrome. I now no longer believe that to be the case. However, Phase II would certainly be PART of a Progeria syndrome. I now believe that, given recent evidence, Phase II is the induction of a SYSTEMIC AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE which I will call Spike Protein Autoimmune Syndrome.
Interestingly, the complete virus is NOT found in those with Long COVID – the spike protein IS.
Chesnut feels the key is in clearing the body of the Spike Protein, but he is concerned that the Spike’s mRNA has been retrotranscribed into DNA.
The diabolical scheme of course is that this induced illness will not be attributed back to the “vaccines.”
Please see FLCCC’s Recovery protocols which included the use of intermittent fasting, ivermectin, LDN, nattokinase, aspirin, melatonin, magnesium, methylene blue, sunlight, and resveratrol along with numerous second line and third line therapies. Please note that many of these treatments have been attacked by ‘the powers that be’: https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols/i-recover/
Dr. John Campbell goes through the document thoroughly showing the shots were approved on scant data filled with a multitude of holes in understanding, and the fact lung inflammation was observed in both infected animal controls and immunized animals. Page 45 shows the lipid nanoparticles are systemically distributed but there is no data on how long the spike protein persists or any investigation into potential for autoimmune diseases.
“The controversy in Lyme Disease research is a shameful affair. I say that because the whole thing is politically tainted. Money goes to people that have for the past 30 years produced the same thing. Nothing.” ~ Dr. Willy Burgdorferi
Money lining the pockets of the same people in corruptagencies will come to nothing.
During the pandemic, many of the largest cities in the United States introduced vaccine mandates. Their goal? To increase the number of people being vaccinated, thereby limiting the spread of COVID-19.
In “Indoor Vaccine Mandates in US Cities, Vaccination Behavior, and COVID-19 Outcomes,” Vitor Melo, Elijah Neilson, and Dorothy Kemboi question the efficacy of these efforts in nine cities that implemented the mandates: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC.
Intended and Unintended Effects of Indoor Vaccine Mandates
City vaccine mandates were arguably among the most restrictive and polarizing regulations ever enacted in the United States. Millions of people were prevented from entering restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, sports arenas, and other public indoor areas without proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The mandates negatively affected unvaccinated individuals and businesses that were not allowed to serve unvaccinated customers.
In New York City, for example:
More than 90 percent of restaurants reported having customer-related challenges, such as losing customers who objected to the mandate.
Three-quarters of restaurants reported staff-related challenges because of the city’s vaccine mandate.
1,430 city workers were fired for failing to comply with the mandate.
Previous research has shown that similar country-level mandates increased vaccine uptake substantially. However, city-level mandates are easier to evade than country-level mandates because it is generally easier to travel to a neighboring city that does not have a mandate than to cross national borders.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Most supporters of the regulations claim that the benefits associated with the increase in vaccination rates as a result of the mandate—and its implied reduction in the spread of COVID-19—outweigh the costs of its disruptions. However, the authors find that indoor vaccine mandates had no significant impact on COVID-19 vaccine uptake, cases, or deaths across all nine cities that implemented the policy.
Key Takeaway
Public health restrictions and regulations were widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic, and so understanding their consequences is essential. The authors find that city-level mandates had smaller effect on vaccine uptake (and consequently on COVID-19 cases and deaths) than nationwide mandates— and thus failed to achieve their intended objectives.
We now know that instituting indoor vaccine mandates was almost certainly counterproductive. May that lesson not be soon forgotten. ~ Vitor Melo, study author

**Comment**
This paper ignores a key fact: the experimental gene therapy injections do not stop infection or transmission and are linked to more reports of adverse reactions and death than any other vaccines in the history of VAERS, making all of this null and void. In fact, according to a peer-reviewed study from Michigan State University the news is far worse: 278,000 Americans died of reactions to the jabs, in thefirst year alone. An investigative journalist, using Our World in Data, estimates that the shots have caused 7.5 million deaths globally in addition to 27 million severe injuries.
Sadly, many lost their jobs, were needlessly attacked by friends and family, took their own lives, and suffered in other ways for refusing the clot shots.
But the “vaccine” madness hasn’t ended.
On March 23, 2023 a commanding majority including 10 judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Court, sitting en banc, affirmed the preliminary injection against Biden’s mandate for all federal workers to get the COVID shot. While the mandate has been lifted in the military, Biden has not repealed it for federal workers. Foreign travelers are also under still under the mandate.
Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is not allowed into the U.S. for a match because he hasn’t been “vaccinated” for COVID, despite having recovered from the virus in 2020. His request for an exemption was refused, and he was famously deported from Australia in 2022 for the same reason. This should prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is all COVID theatre as natural immunity has finally, albeit late, been recognized as superior to “vaccines.” Further proving the lunacy, if Djokovic enters the country via boat, no COVID test or “vaccination” is required; however, if he takes an airplane – the jab is required. Explain that one.
Plus the Biden has declared the COVID ‘pandemic’ to be over but we are all forced to sit around until the magical date of May 11. That’s another one that defies explanation.
Stanford Virality Project Exposed: True COVID Info Censored on Social Media
“Robby Soave elaborates on a new information as part of the Twitter Files, which unveil additional censor campaign to restrict Covid-19-related content. #covid#freespeech#taibbi.
And speaking of censorship and Taibbi, we now have proof that DHS’s CISA partnered with a censorship consortium called EIP to illegally censor Americans. During the 2020 election, EIP & CISA worked with GEC and ISAC to police political wrongthink on social media. In 2/21, EIP rebranded itself the Virality Project and went on to censor COVID narratives that didn’t align with the government narrative. They targeted people giving 1st hand accounts of “vaccine” injuries, and negative thoughts about “vaccine” passports, as well as censored jokes and satirical memes.
We are warned this will only get worse unless Congress stops it, because in the past three years the government has granted more than 500 contracts and/or grants aimed at tackling “misinformation.”
Virality Project Helped Ban Inconvenient Facts About COVID
The Virality Projectis a coalition of research entities focused on supporting real-time information exchange between the research community, public health officials, government agencies, civil society organizations and social media platforms. Their objective is to detect, analyze and respond to incidents of COVID-19 vaccine “disinformation” across online ecosystems and ultimately mitigate the impact of narratives which supposedly would undermine the public’s confidence in the safety of these processes in the United States.”
This Project led by Stanford University describes itself in terms that seem to be a near confession to conspiracy: note that “government agencies” are included in the “real-time information and exchange, then add the fact that many NGO’s and social media firms have financial ties to the US government, and mix in the First Amendment’s prohibition of restrictions on lawful speech. The result? Yet another sign of our rights being infringed by the COVID-19 regime.
Using the tax-payer’s dime, CDC and HHS offered $1 Million for research to create a tool to predict ‘Vaccine’ ‘Misinformation’ trends. A single applicant will receive an award ranging from $400,000 to $500,000 to develop “a forecasting model that aims to identify potential misinformation on vaccines and how it will affect people as it spreads on social media,” according to Fox News. The funding comes amid ongoing lawsuits challenging other federal government attempts to fight “misinformation” on constitutional grounds.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the conflicts of interest here. The government has patents on vaccines, including the COVID clot shot, and now it’s giving tax dollars for research to counter and shut down all dissenting opinions that dare to threaten profits they stand to gain. Government scientists also receive secret, undisclosed royalty payments. It’s a handy-dandy relationship where corrupt agencies win and the taxpayer loses.
Again, this public health monopoly must be destroyed. Research institutions, industry, and government have no business working together.
