COVID Shot Stroke Cover-Up And A Public Message to Anthony Fauci

BREAKING: Biden White House COVID Stroke Cover-Up Exposed

A Pattern of Institutional Deception Finally Revealed in Stunning New Email Revelations
Sayer Ji
Mar 25, 2026

Newly released government documents confirm that Biden White House officials directly edited CDC messaging on COVID-19 vaccine safety in January 2023 — changing the description of a stroke risk signal in elderly Americans from “moderately elevated” to “slightly elevated,” removing the words “potential risk” entirely, and instructing health officials they “don’t want to see this document again.”

All of this happened while the same administration was aggressively pushing booster uptake in the very age group affected, and while its Surgeon General was publicly accusing independent health researchers of spreading harmful disinformation for raising the exact safety questions officials were quietly suppressing internally.

This is not a hypothetical scandal. It is documented. And for those of us who lived through the coordinated destruction of our platforms, our reputations, and our livelihoods for asking these questions in public, it is a confirmation that arrives with the full weight of vindication — and the full fury of unresolved injustice.

I was one of those researchers. And this story lands differently when you have been named a public enemy for telling the truth the government was simultaneously editing into silence.  (See link for Ji’s exposé on a purposeful bureaucratic editorial operation)

A Public Message to Anthony Fauci

Let Me Help You Remember What Went Wrong.
James Lyons-Weiler, PhD
Mar 25, 2026

In what can only be described as a New York Times public image rehabilitation attempt, former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci comes across as a Pontius Pilate – his hands washed of any responsibility for his central role as a, if not the primary, driver of public health policies that nearly destroyed the United States of America.

Dr. Fauci, we remember. We ALL remember. Here is my message to help YOU remember. Let’s start with how you helped the Biden administration threaten ALL of our jobs, but the article does not mention that. It does not mention your central role in the lockdown – in fact,

you flatly deny that your actions or policies led to any school closings or factories shut down. How is it that governors across the U.S. decided “essential” and “non-essential” businesses, and you stood by and never protested?

In August 2020 you said publicly: “If someone refuses the vaccine in the general public, then there’s nothing you can do about that. You cannot force someone to take a vaccine.” Then on September 10, 2021 — the day after Biden announced the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard covering ~80–100 million workers — you told PBS: “I myself am quite favorably impressed by that and feel strongly that that is what we should be doing.” On November 4, 2021, testifying before the Senate HELP Committee, when Sen. Romney asked directly whether mandates would save lives, you said: “We know that vaccines absolutely save lives. And we know that mandates work.”

Also on record in a Michael Specter audiobook, Summer 2021: “It’s been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit, and they get vaccinated.” It was played back to you at the June 2024 hearing. You did not retract it.

The mandate had no testing option for federal workers or healthcare workers — it was vaccinate or lose your job. You were the Chief Medical Advisor sitting in the White House at the time. You did not object.

We all remember, also, your key role as a driver of the lockdown.

  • You sent Dr. Clifford Lane — your NIAID deputy — to China with the WHO Joint Mission in February 2020
  • Lane returned and wrote: “China has demonstrated this infection can be controlled, albeit at great cost. This is the bottom line.”
  • Lane told you directly: “From what I saw in China, we may have to go to as extreme a degree of social distancing to help bring our outbreak under control”
  • You testified he had “every reason to believe” Lane’s evaluation
  • You then admitted: social distancing “even by somewhat difficult means” involving “essentially the entire community” was possible in the U.S.

Your methodological problems:

  1. Lane visited after China had already locked down — he could only observe what was happening, not whether the lockdown caused the decline
  2. Chinese data was demonstrably unreliable — WHO had tailored confidentiality forms “to China’s terms” (FOIA-obtained emails, Judicial Watch, March 2021) and a January 2020 WHO epidemiological analysis was marked “strictly confidential”
  3. The WHO-China Joint Mission report itself was controlled: all activities were “arranged by the Chinese Government’s National Health Commission” (per a Feb. 15, 2020 internal WHO email)

It’s beyond time for vindication of those who were right all along, and accountability for those who pushed unscientific, fraudulent, and dangerous COVID measures that were ineffective and even deadly.

Abstract

Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Other species of Borrelia have been discovered and cause similar diseases. The first described species, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, was isolated in the United States. Lyme disease is a great imitator that can resemble many illnesses, including autoimmune diseases. ELISA and Western Blot diagnostic tests, which are supposed to have a sensitivity of almost 100%, are in fact often negative in many patients with genuine Lyme disease. These tests are poorly calibrated, of mediocre quality, with an arbitrarily defined threshold for antibody positivity, so that no more than 50% of patients with a positive test are ever found. Controversy surrounds the existence of the chronic form. However, chronicity is observed in many patients, and the mechanisms of Borrelia persistence are well documented in the literature. Recently, in 2018, the Haute Autorité de Santé (French National Authority for Health) defined SPPT (Syndrome Persistant Polymorphe Après-Piqure de Tique), enables empirical antibiotic treatment even in the absence of erythema migrans and with negative Lyme serology. Lyme disease is frequently associated with a number of other infections known as co-infections, whether parasitic, bacterial or viral. Treatment must be effective against Borrelia and other co-infections. A long course of antibiotics lasting several weeks or months may be required. Relapses are frequent when treatment is stopped, due to Borrelia’s persistence mechanisms, and require rapid reintroduction of previously effective treatments. Denial of the scientific realities described in this article has resulted in hundreds of thousands of patients wandering around with untreated, disabling symptoms, despite the fact that appropriate, low-cost anti-infective treatment enables remission in many cases.

Understanding Tick-Borne Disease Testing in 2026

IGeneX Inc.

Tick-borne diseases continue to be among the most complex and misunderstood conditions in modern medicine. As the landscape of diagnostics evolves rapidly, clinicians and healthcare professionals face increasing challenges—and opportunities—in accurately identifying infections, co-infections, and immune responses that directly impact patient outcomes.
 
In this forward-looking IGeneX webinar, learn how advances in laboratory science, expanded pathogen detection, and improved testing methodologies are reshaping the way tick-borne diseases are evaluated and managed. Attendees will gain a clear, practical understanding of how modern diagnostics are addressing longstanding limitations in sensitivity, specificity, and clinical interpretation.
 
This session will examine:
  • The current and emerging challenges in tick-borne disease testing, including evolving pathogens, regional variability, and complex clinical presentations
  • Advances in diagnostic technologies, such as enhanced immunoblots, cellular immune assays, and expanded multi-species detection
  • How testing has evolved beyond single-pathogen models to better identify co-infections and immune dysfunction
  • The role of clinical context in test interpretation, and how modern diagnostics support more informed decision-making
  • What to expect in 2026 and beyond, including trends in test development, regulatory considerations, and data-driven diagnostics

Designed for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals involved in diagnosing and managing tick-borne diseases, this webinar bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world clinical practice. Whether you are new to advanced tick-borne testing or looking to stay ahead of emerging diagnostic trends, this session will provide actionable insights to support more confident testing strategies and improved patient care.

Scientists Issue Warning Over Rise to Ticks Carrying Multiple Diseases

Scientists Issue Warning Over Rise of Ticks Carrying Multiple Diseases

Mar 12, 2026

By 

Ticks capable of carrying and transmitting more than one potentially fatal disease at the same time are becoming increasingly common in the northeastern U.S., according to a new long-term analysis that raises fresh public health concerns for the region.

The research found that a growing share of blacklegged ticks—also known as deer ticks—are infected with multiple disease-causing pathogens. The study was led by Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies disease ecologist Shannon LaDeau and conducted in partnership with the SUNY Center for Vector-Borne Diseases at Upstate Medical University.

The findings come from nearly a decade of tick surveillance and point to a more complex and potentially dangerous tick-borne disease landscape, particularly because different infections require different treatments.

“Healthcare workers should be on the lookout for rising co-infection risks,” LaDeau said in a statement. “And for people spending time outdoors in the Northeast, as a general rule, if the ground is not freezing, it’s a good idea to take precautions to avoid tick bites. Prevention is key.”  (See link for article)

_____________

Findings:

  • 1 in10 nymphs tested positive for at least two pathogens: Borrelia burgdorferi (19.3%) and Babesia microti (21%) were the most common followed by Anaplasma phagocytophilum (5.8%) and Borrelia miyamotoi (2%)
  • by the end of the study period 11% of sampled ticks had coinfections
  • coinfection rate has been increasing over time
  • 38% of nymphs were capable of transmitting at least one disease to humans
