Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of the tennis star Serena Williams, was perplexed.
He was showing no symptoms of Lyme disease, and had not spent much time in the wilderness or northeastern US states where the ticks that carry it are most prevalent. And yet, after a “full battery of health scans”, his doctor had told him that he was infected.
Ohanian, 41, who lives in Florida with Williams and their two children, revealed the diagnosis to his 560,000 followers on Twitter/X last month, saying it had taken him by surprise. He was careful to ensure that his personal experience would not be taken as medical advice. “Please talk to a doctor,” he said. (See link for article)

First off the bat, let’s be clear: MSM hasn’t done any thinking revolving anything about COVID.
Second – if you understand ‘controllers,’ you know that intervention is eventually needed when enough people start questioning the narrative. Since people are talking about the fact there is an estimated 500,000 NEW cases of Lyme/MSIDS per year, it’s time for the spin-doctors to get busy. Too many are questioning things. Too many are asking to be tested. Too many are getting fed up with doctors who gas-light them instead of helping them.
Enter MSM – a monolithic entity paid by Big Pharma which will do anything to protect its vested interests, including lie or distort facts.
Once you’ve seen it often enough you become aware of the thinly veiled journalism designed to make you doubt what you see with your own eyes, hear with your own ears, and even personally experience.
The article starts out by regurgitating well known disputed Lyme dogma:
- can cause fever, chills, headache, fatigue, and muscle and joint aches
- between 5-10% descend into PTLDS and get arthritis, chronic pain, heart palpitations, and brain inflammation
Let’s stop here and state emphatically that Lyme/MSIDS can and does kill people. Let’s also state emphatically that this complex illness can destroy your life, income, family, and all you hold dear.
OK, now that we got that out of the way…..the article then states that ‘celebrity tell-alls and rampant pseudoscience’ is fueling misdiagnoses.
What about the thousands upon thousands that have been misdiagnosed for decades with virtually everything under the sun when they were infected with Lyme/MSIDS and immediate treatment could have made a real or THE difference?
The usual perps are presented for this angle: mainly representation from the American Lyme Disease Foundation (ALDF), who are known Lyme denialists. This representative states practitioners are ‘unqualified’ because they have no infectious disease experience and are ‘cashing in’ by selling unreliable blood testing products and treatment.
This refrain is as old as time and is shear propaganda by controllers who want you to believe that only the government can protect consumers by monopolizing testing and treatment. Well, they have done just that for over 40 years. Let me ask you, ‘how’s that going?’ Nowhere, that’s where.
Particularly attacked were vitamin supplements and ozone therapy – two of the safest, most effective general treatments that help virtually everything! But since the FDA can’t do any under the table deals with Big Pharma and make money off them, they are verboten!
The article also hones in on ‘false positives,’ with Lyme but doesn’t utter a peep over the vast false positives with COVID, along with counting all deaths as COVID, that were purposely used to create a the illusion of vast cases and deaths.
Current Lyme testing is so flawed that a statistical analysis by Cook and Puri found that the LD two-tiered testing resulted in 500 times more false-negative outcomes than similar two-tiered tests used in the diagnosis of AIDS.
The article also pushes the highly politicized climate change agenda when there is great controversy on many issues within this highly controlled paradigm, and independent research has shown it has nothing to do with tick proliferation or transmission.
While the article is at least honest enough to recognize that countries with nationalized health care struggle even more because there’s ‘there’s no system for them to go outside of,’ and that at least in the U.S. you can still find a doctor who is independent and can think for himself/herself. But, how long will this last?
According to the author, the oft repeated belief that more funding to the same institutions that have denied Lyme/MSIDS from the get-go is somehow the answer, despite all evidence to the contrary.
