Abstract

The epidemiological situation related to infectious diseases is influenced by many factors. To monitor actual trends in selected zoonoses, a total of 473 serum samples from farmers, forestry workers, and veterinarians were collected for serological examination. Anti-Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) antibodies were tested with ELISA and Western blot (WB) tests; the detection of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies was performed using an enzyme linked fluorescence assay (ELFA). Antibodies to bartonellosis, anaplasmosis, and chlamydiosis were determined by indirect immunofluorescent test (IFA), whereas antibodies to yersiniosis and mycoplasmosis were confirmed in the ELISA test.

Positive or borderline results of antibodies against B. burgdorferi s.l. in the ELISA test were detected in 33.8% of the study population. The borderline or positive ELISA test results for at least one antibody class were confirmed by WB in 58.7% of cases. The IgG antibodies against Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Toxoplasma gondii, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae were detected in 9.6%, 51.7%, and 63.6% of samples, respectively. Antibodies against Yersinia spp., Bartonella henselae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae were found to vary between 43 and 47%.

The Great Prostate Hoax

By Richard Ablin and Ronald Piana – Unbekoming Book Summary

Unbekoming

Oct 16, 2024

An expressive oil painting focused on the human prostate and its surgical removal, symbolizing the impact of PSA testing and prostate cancer treatment. The central image is a detailed representation of the prostate surrounded by surgical tools and hands preparing to perform the removal. The prostate is depicted with vulnerable, soft textures, while the background is dark and somber, with muted tones of blue, grey, and red, emphasizing the gravity of the procedure. Bold, dramatic brushstrokes highlight the intensity and emotional weight of the scene, evoking a sense of medical intervention and loss.

It’s not just women that Cartel Medicine feeds on, although it does prefer them.

Men are also meat for the grinder, especially when their privates are involved.

The screening hoax we witnessed with mammograms has a counterpart with prostates and the PSA test.

The predation here is especially synergistic as the maiming and destruction caused by prostate interventions feed two sub-Cartels: those of erectile dysfunction and incontinence. The adult diaper business is thriving because of this butchery.

Urologists, not wanting to be left behind by pediatricians, psychiatrists, cardiologists, dermatologists and  dentists have their own cozy racket.

With thanks to Richard Ablin and Ronald Piana for telling the truth. [in their book ‘The Great Prostate Hoax.’]

12-point summary

Here’s a 12-point summary of the book, including key data and statistics for those that don’t want to read the longer Q&A below.

  1. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is not cancer-specific. It’s present in normal, benign, and cancerous prostate tissue. There is no specific PSA level that definitively indicates cancer.
  2. Routine PSA screening leads to significant overdiagnosis and overtreatment. For every 1,000 men screened, only 1 man may avoid death from prostate cancer, while many others suffer unnecessary biopsies and treatments.
  3. Prostate cancer is age-related. About 40% of men aged 40-49, 70% of men 60-69, and 80% of men over 70 have prostate cancer. Most of these cancers are slow-growing and unlikely to cause death.
  4. The lifetime risk of dying from prostate cancer is only 3%, meaning 97% of men will die from other causes, even if they have prostate cancer.
  5. Radical prostatectomy, a common treatment resulting from PSA screening, often leads to significant side effects. Up to 60-80% of men experience erectile dysfunction and 10-20% have long-term urinary incontinence.
  6. PSA screening has not significantly reduced prostate cancer mortality. Studies show similar death rates between screened and unscreened populations.
  7. The PSA test has a high false-positive rate of up to 80%, leading to many unnecessary biopsies and treatments.
  8. Active surveillance is increasingly recognized as an appropriate option for many men with low-risk prostate cancer, potentially avoiding unnecessary treatments and their side effects.
  9. The U.S. healthcare system spends an estimated $3 billion annually on PSA tests alone, with billions more on subsequent procedures and treatments.
  10. New technologies like robotic surgery and proton beam therapy, while heavily marketed, have not shown superior outcomes to traditional treatments but are significantly more expensive.
  11. Conflicts of interest are prevalent in prostate cancer care. Many researchers and physicians promoting PSA screening have financial ties to companies that profit from increased screening and treatment.
  12. The FDA approved the PSA test for screening in 1994 despite significant reservations from its own advisory panel. This decision, along with aggressive marketing by medical companies, led to widespread adoption of PSA screening before its benefits and harms were fully understood.

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)

**Comment**

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.
