mRNA Gene Therapy Coming to the Food Supply THIS MONTH & China Loads Milk with mRNA Exosomes & Successfully Immunize Mice

**UPDATE**

In this video, Dr. Peter McCullough states that messenger RNA has been shown to be transmissible through the GI tract, yet The Cattlemen’s Association has come out with a statement stating they oppose transparency legislation HB 1169 which merely requires labeling disclosures and doesn’t prohibit use of the mRNA platform.  They also state there’s no mRNA in beef; however, the USDA’s website shows active projects using mRNA for the bovine respiratory syncytial virus which means before we know it mRNA could be in the food supply.

Eat Your Vaccines: mRNA Gene Therapy Is Coming to the Food Supply THIS MONTH

They’ve given up on a needle in every arm. Now they’re coming for what you eat.

The NIH has been working on integrating “vaccines” into food since 2002.  Edible “vaccines”, like “climate change” is all the rage in government funded research now – particularly mRNA technology which has been proven to be a dismal failure with the COVID gene-therapy injections that are linked with more adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS.

According to Attorney Tom Renz, lobbyists for cattleman and pork associations in several states have CONFIRMED they WILL be using mRNA “vaccines” in pigs and cows THIS MONTH.

In an attempt to alert the public and provide transparency, Missouri Representative Holly Jones has introduced House Bill 1169 which does the following:

  • requires labeling & disclosure of any product that has any gene therapy qualities
  • requires companies to disclose if there is any way it is transferred or shed to another
  • requires informed consent as well as any information on adverse events

Attorney Renz explains how this straightforward two page bill simply asks for transparency and is designed to be universally supported (bipartisan), but has become the most contentious bill in the history of Missouri.

Big Pharma went to Big Ag and told them they need to oppose this bill.

Renz points out that if this bill passes in Missouri, it then it will be the law in every other state as well, which is why this is so important.

He also points out that due to people not getting the COVID gene therapy injections, there is a control group, and the evidence is clear: COVID injections are causing untold damage.  

Naomi Wolf and Renz discuss other topics as well, most of which are included in these articles:

So, whether you’re in Missouri, Iowa, the United Kingdom, or Australia, you need to help push HB 1169 across the finish line.

Because if the bill passes “those disclosures and the ability to get that information apply globally.” So, share this bill on social media, call your local legislators — ask your representatives why a bill similar to HB 1169 is not being discussed in your neck of the woods.

Many are unaware that they have already been injecting over 300 mammalian species of zoo animals, cattle, vegetables, and more with the mRNA gene therapy injections.

Chinese Load Cow’s Milk with mRNA Exosomes–Successfully Immunize Mice

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Assault Possible Through Food Supply

Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH™

The nation’s food supply can be manipulated by public health agencies to influence population outcomes. A great is example is fortification of cereal grains with folic acid — the synthetic form of folate — which successfully reduced the incidence of neural tube defects (e.g. spina bifida). Now an oral route of administration is being considered specifically for COVID-19 vaccination using mRNA in cow’s milk.

Zhang and colleagues have demonstrated that a shortened mRNA code of 675 base pairs could be loaded into phospholipid packets called exosomes derived from milk and then using that same milk, be fed to mice. The mice gastrointestinal tract absorbed the exosomes and the mRNA must have made it into the blood stream and lymphatic tissue because antibodies were produced in fed mice against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (receptor binding domain).  (See link for article)

SUMMARY:

  • From a purely scientific point, this is a “stunning success”
  • It presents ethical concerns
  • The COVID mRNA injections have generated untold injuries, disabilities, and death
  • 25% of Americans have remained “unvaccinated” with the COVID shots and would have objections to mRNA in the food supply
  • Children could be easily targeted getting mRNA through milk at school lunches and other unsupervised meals
  • For those who are “vaxxed” for COVID, having synthetic mRNA in milk would load the body even more with a substance proven resistant to ribonucleases and may reside permanently in the body
  • mRNA technology has just entered a much darker phase of development and the Chinese have just taken the first of what will be many more dangerous steps for the world

Serum From White-Tailed Deer Kills Lyme in Test Tube

https://www.umass.edu/news/article/white-tailed-deer-blood-kills-bacteria-causes-lyme-disease

WHITE-TAILED DEER BLOOD KILLS BACTERIA THAT CAUSES LYME DISEASE

NEWVEC research at UMass Amherst may lead to strategies to reduce the incidence of tick-borne illness

As tick season kicks in across the country, the executive director of the University of Massachusetts Amherst-based New England Center of Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases (NEWVEC) and his team have completed research that offers a promising lead in the fight against Lyme disease.

The study, published recently in the journal Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases, demonstrates that the blood of the white-tailed deer kills the corkscrew-shaped bacterium that causes Lyme disease, a potentially debilitating illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year some 476,000 people are diagnosed with and treated for Lyme, the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S.

“Deer are vitally important to the survival of deer ticks, but they are not involved with transmitting the Lyme bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi,” explains senior author Stephen Rich, professor of microbiology. “We’ve known for some time that ticks taken from white-tailed deer are not infected, and we speculated that something about the deer prevented those ticks from becoming infected. But until publication of our paper, no one had done the experiment to show that deer blood – specifically the serum component of white-tailed deer blood – kills Lyme.”

The results of the study may one day lead to new strategies and approaches for Lyme disease prevention and treatment, says lead author Patrick Pearson, a Ph.D. student in NEWVEC, whose upcoming doctoral examination focuses in part on this research.

“In these experiments we determined that white-tailed deer serum kills the Lyme bacterium. The next important question will be to understand exactly how deer blood kills Lyme bacteria,” Pearson says.

The research is one project of NEWVEC, which was funded by the CDC last year with a $10 million award to prevent and reduce tick- and mosquito-borne diseases in New England. NEWVEC aims to bring together academic communities, public health practitioners, residents and visitors across the Northeast, where Lyme infections are concentrated.

The Lyme disease bacterium is passed to juvenile blacklegged (Ixodes scapularis) deer ticks from mice the arthropods feed on. The infected ticks then pass the bacterium on to humans when they feed on people.

“We are the accidental host,” Rich says. “The ticks that bite us are actually looking for a deer because that’s where they breed. Without the deer, you don’t have ticks. But if you had only deer, you wouldn’t have any Lyme.”

To carry out their experiment, the researchers obtained blood serum from a semi-captive white-tailed deer herd at Auburn University in Alabama. The deer were believed to have no exposure to ticks and the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.

The researchers then grew the Lyme disease germ in test tubes and added the deer serum. “And lo and behold, it killed the bacteria,” Rich says. “Whatever it is in the deer that’s killing the germ is part of the innate immune system, a part of the immune system that precedes antibodies.”

Pearson adds, “The Lyme bacterium has proteins on its surface that protect it from the human innate immune system. Deer blood is somehow different such that Lyme bacteria are apparently unable to protect themselves from the innate immune system of white-tailed deer.”

The next research step is to determine the precise mechanisms in deer blood that kill the bacteria.

“We’d like to determine if it’s something we can induce in humans,” Rich says. “Or maybe we could use this somehow to our advantage to reduce the incidence of Lyme disease in the wild.”

**Comment**

Go here for more on tick prevention.

While the age-old repellents permethrin, Deet, and Picaridin are all mentioned in the article, a few new things are in the pipeline:

  • GearJump Technologies received DoD funding to design a controlled-release device utilizing synthetic pyrethroids (not to be put on skin) transfluthrin and metofluthrin that can attach to the boot of soldiers has shown affected ticks became slower moving, less mobile and appeared to be in a “drunken-like state.”
  • Nootkatone, derived from Alaska yellow cedar trees and citrus fruit, had statistically significant knockdown effects when compared to water-only controls.  It also displayed significant residual tick-killing activity after weathering naturally in the landscape for 2 weeks prior to tick application/testing.
    • While this article states products could be available by 2022, they are obviously not forthcoming. This NY Times article explains it’s considered safe and is used in food and perfume, but the EPA registration only applies only to Nootkatone – not forthcoming products which will each need to be tested and registered.
    • The CDC has licensed patents to its partners Evolva and Allylix. The substance is available to be used to develop new insect repellents and insecticides.  And this is exactly what is wrong with the CDC.  I heard about Nootkatone years and years ago and it’s languished on the sidelines like so many things due to CDC patents/influence.
    • The chemical repels mosquitoes, ticks, bedbugs, fleas and may be effective against lice, sandflies, midges, and other pests. An ISU insect toxicologist found it to be an “impressive repellent but a weak insecticide.” It can kill insects but takes a vast amount of product making it impractical.  Nootkatone repels ticks better than synthetics and is their equal at repelling mosquitoes.  Unlike other natural products, it does not lose its potency after an hour but lasts as long as synthetics.

Knowing that Lyme/MSIDS is a modern-day plague, it’s disheartening that good, safe, affordable products are not being developed more quickly.  This shouldn’t shock anyone; however, as it’s become perfectly clear that public health is not about public health but patents, secret royalties, collusion, fraud, and control.

Many other animals are involved and utilized by ticks besides mice:

How to protect yourself from the new rare tick-borne disease

Tick-borne encephalitis virus has arrived in the UK. Lisa Salmon finds out more.

A virus carried by ticks has been found in the UK, and health experts are warning that people need to protect themselves from being bitten.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says the species of tick which carry tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is widespread in the UK.

They stress that although the risk to the public is low, it’s important for people to protect themselves against being bitten by the tiny bugs, which can also transmit the much more common Lyme disease.

“The risk of tick borne encephalitis virus in England is very low, but as ticks can carry other infections, it is as important as ever to be ‘tick aware’,” says Dr Claire Gordon from the UKHSA. “Take steps to reduce your chances of being bitten when outdoors in areas where ticks thrive, such as moorlands and woodlands, and remember to check for ticks and remove them promptly.”

Borrelia Miyamotoi Can Be Transmitted From Mother Ticks To Offspring

https://danielcameronmd.com/borrelia-miyamotoi-can-be-transmitted-from-mother-ticks-to-offspring/

BORRELIA MIYAMOTOI CAN BE TRANSMITTED FROM MOTHER TICKS TO OFFSPRING

borrelia-miyamotoi-ticks

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).

By 

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.

CA Ticks Spread Lyme But That’s Not the Whole Story

California Ticks Can Spread Lyme Disease…But That’s Not the Whole Story

by Paul Killinger on February 24, 2023

<span id="hs_cos_wrapper_name" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="meta_field" data-hs-cos-type="text" >California Ticks Can Spread Lyme Disease…But That’s Not the Whole Story</span>
If you find a tick bite from an Ixodes tick in California, it’s important to consider possible exposure to pathogens that cause more than Lyme disease

Originally published on Medzulabs.org 

The risk of contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite in California has been well-documented, though there is still a long way to go in educating health providers and the broader community in the exposure risk from a tick bite. TickReport’s surveillance of ticks from California (and Oregon and Washington) goes back as far as 2006 and has expanded in recent years.

What ticks are endemic (commonly and consistently found in wild populations) to California and other West Coast states?

That’s a big question, and there are a few dozen species from different genera or families. Many of those species are specialist feeders and—if everything goes “right” in their life cycle—they will only feed on certain wild mammals, birds, or lizards and will bite humans very rarely. That’s doesn’t mean that finding one of these “specialists” attached to ourselves or a family member is impossible: it’s just much less common (and a topic we’ll try to visit soon in another post).

Our surveillance shows that the majority (91.5%) of human or human-adjacent (dogs, cats, horses, etc) tick bites are caused by the following ticks:

  • Ixodes pacificus (“Western black-legged tick,” a close relative of the Deer tick in the Eastern U.S.)
  • Dermacentor variabilis (“American dog tick”)
  • Dermacentor occidentalis (“Pacific Coast tick”)
  • Dermacentor andersoni (“Rocky Mountain Wood tick”)
  • Ixodes spinipalpis
  • Ixodes angustus
What pathogens can these ticks transmit to humans?

Vector competence (the ability of a vector like a tick to transmit a given disease-causing pathogen) tends to run along genus lines, so species within the Ixodes genus tend to be able to transmit pathogens X and Y but not Z, while Dermacentor species tend to transmit Z but not X and Y.

The most common pathogen found in California ticks is Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease in humans and pets. But there’s more than Lyme in those hills! If you find a tick bite from an Ixodes tick in California, it’s also important to consider possible exposure to these pathogens:

  • Borrelia miyamotoi: a bacterium that can cause hard tick relapsing fever—sometimes called Borrelia miyamotoi disease.
  • Anaplasma phagocytophilum: a bacterium that can cause Human granulocyctic Anaplasmosis.
*For every two ticks we find infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease bacteria), we detect one (or more) of these other pathogens

It’s vital that both tick surveillance and diagnostic approaches keep these non-Lyme pathogens in mind. For every two ticks we find infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease bacteria), we detect one (or more) of these other pathogens, so be sure to resist Lyme Tunnel Vision when responding to a tick bite! Common diagnostic tests for Lyme disease have a specific focus on Lyme disease and will not detect infection by these other pathogens if present. Make sure you and your doctor are considering the whole story of a tick bite.
