Medicine struggles to define chronic Lyme. Long Covid has only made it harder
By Isabella Cueto and Alina Sajani
Sept. 9, 2024
Going to the doctor is already tricky enough for people with chronic symptoms of Lyme disease. Their concerns often dismissed by mainstream medicine, those patients now face an additional hurdle: ruling out long Covid.
The two illnesses — one seeping in over the course of decades and another suddenly springing to life on a massive scale — share many qualities, including being widely misunderstood. But as efforts to demystify long Covid intensify, so does interest in studying neglected conditions, including persistent complications from Lyme disease.
Long Covid was a crash course in chronic conditions that start with infection. “As a result, Lyme patients are now met with more compassion and understanding than ever in the past. It is now harder for a physician to dismiss the possibility of a Lyme diagnosis out of hand than it was before the pandemic,” said Bernadette Clavier, facilitator of the Coalition for Infection-Associated Chronic Conditions and Illnesses Research.
New studies aim to tease apart the diseases’ differences and similarities in hopes of finding treatments for patients that have gone without vetted, tailored therapeutics, in some cases for decades. (See link for article)

**Comment**
The article discusses the case of a Lyme advocate who had a mild case of COVID and only lost her sense of taste and smell, but who crashed two months later. Joint pain and GI issues popped up seemingly out of nowhere. She also got severe brain fog.
I’m sure this patient isn’t alone.
COVID did a number on both of us as well and we were very sick, numerous times. The first time caused us to relapse with Bartonella.
But this patient is blaming COVID for it all. I question the logic of this as there is no accurate test to prove it. One of the most common features of long-COVID syndrome is post-exertional malaise and research has shown the spike protein exhausts cardiomyocyte mitochondria. Also, ‘Long COVID’ symptoms mirror those in other viral illnesses and with Lyme/MSIDS it is nearly impossible to discern what is causing what. I can rattle off 10 things that cause joint pain, GI issues, and brain fog, including a bevy of bacterial and parasitic infections!
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and other institutions have a lost of potential new therapies they’d like to study – everything from inflammatory treatments to antibiotic combination therapies, brain stimulation, and magic mushrooms.
It is widely known that ALL vaccines prime illness by injecting foreign proteins and the COVID shots specifically cause T-cell exhaustion and masks are immunosuppressive. These issues are side-stepped regarding ‘long covid.’ A top biologist states they are ‘bioweapons’ that can target entire populations by ‘triggering the immune system to stand down.’ This is the last thing a Lyme/MSIDS patient needs!
Italian scientists have issued a disturbing warning over a new neurological emergency surging in those who received the mRNA shots and others have shown they have caused excess death, organ damage, autoimmunity, and myocarditis and pericarditis, and urinary and bladder issues. Then there’s the paper showing the spike protein induces a lethal cancer phenotype.
Seems to me ‘Long COVID’ is an easy scapegoat from much larger and damning issues.
I do not believe that FDA “guidance for industry” documents are intended by FDA or construed by pharmaceutical manufacturers, as enforceable rules.
I believe they are written and published as part of the regulatory charade, and are one method through which FDA, DoD and pharmas coordinate the militarized fraud they are jointly perpetrating on the public.
I’m posting this 2010 FDA document-only definition of “viral vaccines” (FDA has not defined vaccine, or viral vaccine, in CFR regulations) because such definitions,
When viewed alongside the complete absence of physical standards and methods/techniques/equipment capable of determining product purity, safety and efficacy;
Which have not been established by FDA or by FDA’s allegedly private-sector partner, the US Pharmacopeia/National Formulary — see, for example, USP June 2020 Standards for Quality Vaccines–General Vaccine Development and Manufacturing, indicating the non-existence of measurable standards and measurement techniques by the phrase “Not intended to convey requirements enforceable by regulatory agencies;”
May help more people understand that vaccines, from the batch and lot level at the factories, through the vial and dose level when administered to a person, are intrinsically heterogeneous, unstable and toxic.
The COVID debacle and subsequent censorship has made good, independent journalism, science, and ethical behavior popular again. There’s always a silver lining….
In this case, Katherine Watt digs through reams of boring, bureaucratic language to uncover the pervasive fraud perpetuated by government agencies entrusted with protecting the public. Far from protecting the public, these agencies have utilized and created every loop-hold imaginable to man for their own vested interests, which doesn’t have a thing to do with public health. Dr. Peter McCullough recently stated that at the top of a medical and bioscientific deep state is HHS of which the FDA and CDC report to. The NIH, UNAID, and other governmental agencies are a big players as well, and they all take care of each other financially through grants, and other programs.
I highly recommend reading the entire article because you will discover:
There is absolutely no measurable standards enforceable for vaccine purity, safety, and efficacy. It’s the wild West without the rule of law or even sheriffs.
The FDA & pharma officials, military officers and FDA’s allegedly private-sector partner, the US Pharmacopeia/National Formulary, have known for decadesthere is no safe dose for vaccines.
FDA ‘regulations’ are non-regulations that instruct pharma on how to ignore engage in acting designed to look like compliance.
The FDA will then pretend to establish and enforce said ‘regulations’.
In 2007 it was known that DNA ‘vaccines’ might cause or worsen organ-specific autoimmunity but the FDA ‘no longer recommend that preclinical studies be performed to specifically assess whether vaccination causes autoimmune disease.’
The FDA participates in ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ regarding Pharma.
If it wasn’t for a group suing the FDA, we wouldn’t even know about it.
This is where things currently stand in the US. We have to take legal action against government groups entrusted with public health for any transparency whatsoever.
Global digital marking system coming soon to United States of America: Biden admin working on draft executive order
By Leo Hohmann
Aug. 21, 2024
Article Excerpts:
I have been reporting about this for exactly four years, warning people that it was coming and to prepare for the day when you won’t be able to buy or sell unless you submit to a biometric digital ID based on a scan of your eyeballs, your palm, or some other unique physical feature. Whoever submits to a biometric digial ID is accepting a sinister system designed for one reason and one reason only — to inventory and control every human being on the planet through the power of artificial intelligence.
Nevermind that this system is already fully functional and being implemented in several dozen countries around the world. America is different, they say. America is “exceptional,” and our government would never be allowed to force us to get digitally marked, allowing authorities to tag and track us wherever we go, like cattle in a feedlot awaiting their utlimate destination at the slaughterhouse.
Has anyone asked we the people if we want this? Of course not. It will just be jammed down our throats. First it will come with incentives (the carrot approach) and eventually it will involve punishments (the stick approach). But it will come, whether we like it or not.
Almost every state already has the infrastructure for a digital ID in place and more than a few states are already offering these anti-human, WEF-approved, UN-approved biomentric ID systems. The sheeple will line up voluntarily to get theirs. They always do. It’s the next new thing, right? Americans love new things, especially new technology. (See link for article)
How Soon Before You’ll Need a Digital ID to Access Public Services?
The Biden administration is drafting an executive order for federal and state governments to speed up the adoption of digital ID and for the development of a uniform, government-run online identity system to verify identity and age, and access public websites and services.
NOTUS, a nonprofit news outlet, obtained a draft of the executive order, which states: “It is the policy of the executive branch to strongly encourage the use of digital identity documents.”
According to NOTUS, the executive order “could reshape how Americans access government services, and potentially behave online.”
A digital ID system could operate with the use of biometric scans like facial recognition to “help better verify identity online,” NOTUS reported, noting the federal government is working with Apple and Google to build systems that would “allow Americans to carry identity documents on their smartphones and frictionlessly submit them to both government and private sector websites for verification.”
The NOTUS report comes just days after revelations that the Social Security numbers and other personal information of practically all Americans stored by a private company, National Public Data, was breached in April 2024.
Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of the Solari Report and former U.S. assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development, said, “Rather than apologize or take steps to make sure that our data is secure, the Biden administration is proposing to create even more centrally controlled databases pushing for a digital ID.” Fitts said, “Digital IDs are the essential step to the WEF vision of ‘Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.’” (See link for article)
PREP Act declarations should be read as announcements of use of certain types of chemical-biological weapons of mass destruction. As my readers know, covid PREP Act declaration is currently active until Dec 31, 2024, but it will be for sure extended thereafter. Marburg and Ebola declarations are active until at least Dec 31, 2028.
There are several non-covid PREP Act declarations currently active: These declarations are for influenza, zika, insecticides/nerve agents, anthrax and botulism toxin. They were updated/re-issued on Dec 23, 2022, however for all of these agents, the original declarations had been issued many years ago, starting around 2008.
Both, manufacturers and users would have liability immunity.
Users of the first countermeasures being the DoD agents who did/do the dispersing of the aerosol, water-borne, food-borne poisons.
Users of the second countermeasures being the pharmacists, nurses, doctors, midwives, etc who did/do the injections falsely advertised as treatments for the first set of countermeasures.
This prompted me into looking at the literature and trying to see any patterns that would indicate that some of the toxins being covered under PREP Act declarations can be used to simulate “viral pandemics”.
I will briefly address the nerve agents first and then write more about interesting parallels between anthrax toxin and so-called “spike protein” purported to be the agent of both, covid illness and covid vaccine injury. (See link for article)
______________
SUMMARY:
Latypova believes poisoning via chemical agents is a very plausible explanation for many historical ‘pandemics’ and ‘epidemics,’ however, she doesn’t believe these agents were used for simulating the COVID outbreak.
“PREP Act declarations are a key part of the “pandemic preparedness” racket run by the military-industrial mafia (International Medical Countermeasures Consortium) and propagandized on all sides of freedom by characters like Robert Malone.”
The biodefense mafia operates on word confusion.
Naturally occurring anthrax is a soil bacterium that exists as a spore but is not typically transmissible or dangerous.
In 10 years of targeted effort there’s been about 68 patients with anthrax found in China in a country of 1.3 billion and nobody died.
It is treatable with antibiotics and there is no need for vaccination.
The anthrax vaccine manufactured by Emergent is much more poisonous than naturally occurring anthrax.
What is made in a lab is a synthetic chemical toxin allegedly resembling a small part of b. anthracis.
Synthetic chemicals do not reproduce or spread or ‘leak’ by themselves. The best way to produce mass illness is by injection under the pretense of ‘vaccination.’
This is exactly what happened to Gulf War soldiers through anthrax vaccination.
In 1990, an experimental anthrax vaccine was deployed upon the military to prepare them for invading Iraq which severely injured over 100,000 servicemen (leading to what was known as Gulf War Syndrome). Note: the Anthrax disaster is discussed further here.
Synthetic anthrax is a chemical weapon (toxin) that can be assembled from ‘legal’ components.
Animal studies showed that certain components of this synthetic anthrax are lethal above a certain dosage, other components produce a ‘mild clinical disease.’
The monkey study conducted at the University of New Mexico in 2014 used both synthetic and allegedly natural anthrax. The ‘natural’ Ames strain (A.Br.Ames lineage) came from US Army, Ft. Detrick which originates predominantly in China.
Symptoms were: decreased appetite and activity level, a mild, dry cough, elevated C-reactive protein and neutrophil counts indicating an inflammatory response and low-level transient bacteremia.
Decreased appetite and rapid weight loss are the most characteristic of COVID poisoning. These same symptoms were reported in rats in both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vax studies.
There are similarities between the COVID spike protein and the anthrax toxin and both include the furin cleavage site.
Hopefully when people are aware that chemical poisoning can mimic and fake “infectious outbreaks” they will be less likely to fall for propaganda of “lab created viruses.” (See link for article)
Australian Researcher Finds Link Between COVID Vaccines and Excess Deaths
The number of excess deaths in Australia was positively correlated with the number of COVID-19 booster vaccinations, according to a new peer-reviewed study. However, critics cautioned that the study’s methods were too simplistic and that its results could be misleading.
Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., lead author of a recent study examining excess mortality in 125 countries, cautioned against drawing conclusions from Allen’s analysis. He told The Defender:
“This type of correlation analysis between bulk measures of excess mortality and vaccine doses administered has many caveats, pitfalls and known confounding factors.
“It should never be used as a stand-alone result, as was done here. On its own, it has a high likelihood of being misleading, and it does not imply any meaningful relation.”
Rancourt said that even if a relationship exists between COVID-19 vaccination and excess death, there are better ways of statistically showing it.
“Scientists should avoid being right for the wrong reasons,” Rancourt said. “A better approach is to look for temporal associations, which has been done in some detail for Australia.” (See link for article)
Top Study Links Covid Shots to Surge in Organ Damage among Children
Frank Bergman
A team of leading scientific researchers in Germany has just issued a warning to the public after finding direct links between Covid mRNA shots and vital organ damage among children.
Specifically, the researchers found that Pfizer’s mRNA injection is responsible for skyrocketing cases of Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in children aged 5 to 11 years old.
IgG4-RD is a condition that causes inflammation inside the body and damages internal organs, according to Oxford University.
It can affect many different organs, meaning people can have wide-ranging symptoms.
The pancreas is most commonly affected, followed by the bile ducts in the liver, the salivary glands, and the kidneys. (See link for article)
Large Korean Study Recommends Monitoring mRNA Vaccinated Patients for Auto-immunity
Modest Risks Identified, but Cumulative Effects with Repeated Boosters are Concerning
JUL 27, 2024
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Article excerpts:
There is great concern that with continued dosing of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, the human body is forced to produce not only the foreign and potentially lethal Wuhan Spike protein, but probably about a dozen additional frameshifted proteins as shown by Boros and colleagues. Invariably these peptides induce an immune attack against the human body as they are expressed on cell surfaces and in some cases like Spike protein, trimerize and are circulatory in blood for months after injection.
Now a large study from Korea by Jung et al, suggests there are increased risks for some autoimmune illnesses after at least two mRNA shots, but not nearly as high as the established dangers of vaccine myo-pericarditis or Guillain-Barre Syndrome.(See link for article)
Japanese Study: COVID mRNA Shots “Significantly Associated” With Myocarditis & Pericarditis
Abstract
Background
The association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccines and myocarditis/pericarditis in the Japanese population has not been systematically investigated. This study was aimed at clarifying the association between SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines (BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273) and myocarditis/pericarditis as well as influencing factors by using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database.
Methods
Reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) for the association between the vaccines and myocarditis/pericarditis were calculated using data from the database (April 2004–December 2023). Age, sex, onset time, and outcomes in symptomatic patients were evaluated.
Results
The total number of reports was 880,999 (myocarditis: 1846; pericarditis: 761). The adverse events associated with the vaccines included myocarditis (919 cases) and pericarditis (321 cases), with the ROR [95 % CIs] being significant for both (myocarditis: 30.51 [27.82–33.45], pericarditis: 21.99 [19.03–25.40]). Furthermore, the ROR [95 % CIs] of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 were 15.64 [14.15–17.28] and 54.23 [48.13–61.10], respectively, for myocarditis, and 15.78 [13.52–18.42] and 27.03 [21.58–33.87], respectively, for pericarditis. Furthermore, most cases were ≤30 years or male. The period from vaccination to onset was ≤8 days, corresponding to early failure type based on analysis using the Weibull distribution. Outcomes were recovery or remission for most cases; however, they were severe or caused death in some cases.
Conclusion
In the Japanese population, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination was significantly associated with the onset of myocarditis/pericarditis. The influencing factors included age of ≤30 years and male. Furthermore, although most adverse events occurred early after vaccination, overall outcomes were good.

Abstract
Background and Objective: An unexpected batch-dependent safety signal for the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was recentlyidentified in a nationwide study from Denmark, but the generalizability of this finding is unknown. Therefore, we compared batch-dependent rates of suspected adverse events (SAEs) reported to national authorities in Denmark and Sweden.
Materials and Methods: SAE and vaccine batch data were received from national authorities in Denmark and Sweden, and analyses of heterogeneity in the relationship between numbers of vaccine doses and SAEs per batch were performed, along with comparison of SAE rates and severities for batches that were shared between the two countries.
Results:Significant batch-dependent heterogeneity was found in the number of SAEs per 1000 doses for both countries, with batches associated with high SAE rates detected in the early phase of the vaccination campaign and positive correlations observed between the two countries for the severity of SAEs from vaccine batches that they shared. Mild SAEs predominated in the batches used in the early part of the vaccination roll-out, where markedly higher SAE rates per 1000 doses in Denmark for the batches that were shared between the two countries suggested that a large proportion of these SAEs were under-reported in Sweden.
Conclusions:The batch-dependent safety signal observed in Denmark and now confirmed in Sweden suggests that early commercial batches of BNT162b2 may have differed from those used later on, and these preliminary and hypothesis-generating results warrant further study.
They simply couldn’t allow too many people to be maimed and killed early on. People would have noticed.
