The Secret History of Lyme Disease the US Government Doesn’t Want You to Know

The secret history of Lyme disease the US government doesn’t want you to know | Unreported

Jun 17, 2026 Unreported with Meagan Medick

Nearly half a million Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease every year, and ER tick bite visits are hitting the highest levels since 2017. So why does it feel like nobody is sounding the alarm? And why is Congress now ordering a federal watchdog to dig through decades of classified Cold War military records searching for answers?

In this episode of “Unreported,” Meagan Medick sits down with author Kris Newby, who wrote “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons” and is a senior producer on the Oscar semi-finalist documentary “Under Our Skin.” Together, they examine documented evidence that the U.S. government experimented on ticks as potential Cold War bioweapons, the whistleblower testimony of the scientist who discovered Lyme disease and why a mystery organism he identified in the original ticks was quietly removed from his discovery paper.

They also dig into the Lone Star tick experiments that may have seeded the Northeast with nonnative species, the rise of meat allergies and why a new Lyme vaccine is already raising red flags. Plus: what the Cold War records investigation in Congress could uncover and who controls what gets released.

There’s a New Type of Lyme Disease in NY. OY.

There’s A New Type of Lyme disease in New York State. Oy.

Jun 10, 2026

There are very few headlines that catch my eye. This one was surprising but not unexpected, since ticks are known to spread via travel on birds (and air travel has become more expensive these days, as I just found out after booking several flights). Here is the news release that made me pay more attention:

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lyme-disease-rare-type-found-first-time-new-york-symptoms-severe-rcna348491

So what exactly is the ‘new type of Lyme disease (LD)’? It’s a strain of LD that is not normally found in NY State. Its Borrelia mayonii. The CDC just reported on it in their MMWR report. Here is a brief summary:

[From: Nafiz TN, Prusinski MA, Gubbala S, et al. Notes from the Field: Borrelia mayonii Lyme Disease — New York, 2025. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2026;75:271–272. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.mm7521a2]

This is an important case study, because B. mayonii clinically presents differently than an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), so we need to understand how to properly diagnose and treat it if it is being found in new areas. (See link for article)

**Comment**

Dr. Horowitz points out that the rash with B. mayonii is not the ‘classic’ rash seen with Bb, which isn’t so classic either, and highly variable – although it’s completely diagnostic, proving infection – no testing even required. If you have the rash, you are infected, period.

But there is concern for more severe systemic illness with B. mayonii due to a high level of spirochetes in the blood.

GMO Mosquitoes, Weaponized Ticks & Brain Chips: The 6G Control Grid Exposed w/ Nicolas Hulscher

Google just filed to release 64 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes across California and Florida, alpha-gal syndrome has surged 10,000% since 2013 making people violently allergic to red meat, and 6G, the network being quietly built right now, is designed to interface directly with brain chips inside the human body. In this episode, epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation connects all of it: engineered insects, tick-borne bioterrorism, the Gates Foundation’s fingerprints across both, and the transhumanist control grid being assembled in plain sight.

HHS Sounds Alarm as Lyme Disease Cases Surge

**Comment**

Hope stems from the fact HHS announced a new public private collaboration with ILADS – the only physician organization that recognizes Lyme can be a chronic, persistent infection. This group also trains doctors and connects patients with experienced providers.

We need to be asking doctors to become educated on tickborne illness: https://iladef.org/physician-training-program/

HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos never answered the question in the second video about ticks being dropped all over farms as many on social media are reporting. Crickets……

The newscaster also blamed warmer winters as one reason for tick and disease proliferation – but this has been proven false by independent research: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/11/07/ticks-on-the-move-due-to-migrating-birds-and-photoperiod-not-climate-change/ Scott found warmer winters are lethal to black legged ticks.

Just to be clear, our government has a long sordid history of experimenting on ticks, stuffing them with numerous pathogens, and then dispersing them out of airplanes:
