The Lyme vaccine and RUSSIAN ROULETTE

Carl Tuttle
Hudson, NH
JUN 7, 2018 — There has been a recent increase in news articles regarding Lyme disease vaccines. A number of attempts to get the editors to correct the disinformation have failed to produce full disclosure.

It is believed that a rush to create a Lyme disease vaccine led to the mishandling of the disease. Current antibody tests for Lyme disease were manipulated in 1994 at the Dearborn Conference so as to facilitate vaccine development. The two most important indicators of infection were stripped out of serology tests so that the vaccinated would test seronegative. The vast majority of truly infected patients cannot obtain a timely diagnosis leading to a missed opportunity for successful short term treatment.

The vaccine known as LYMErix was supposed to expose the immune system to the outer surface protein A (OspA) of the spirochete responsible for causing Lyme disease but for some patients, it caused the same crippling effects of the disease itself as reported in the class action lawsuit:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sodqs3pdeeesktf/Sheller%20Lymerix.pdf?dl=0

Excerpt from the lawsuit:

“The people who have contacted us were, prior to vaccination with LYMErix, healthy, active and energetic. Indeed, the very reason they sought the LYMErix vaccine was their desire to preserve their healthy, active lifestyle. However, what they experienced was a dramatic degradation of their health and quality of life. As will be described below, these previously healthy individuals are now afflicted with painful, at times debilitating arthritic symptoms, including joint pain and swelling, as well as extremely severe Lyme-disease-like symptoms which have persisted to this day.”

Below is the link to the Final Judgement and Approval of the class action against SmithKline Beecham as a settlement was awarded to these individuals.

JUDGEMENT, FINAL ORDER AND DECREE GRANTING FINAL APPROVAL OF THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT:

https://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/images/NewDirectory/Government/Vaccines/2003_Vaccine_Judgement_Final_Sttle_Apprvl..pdf

The Principle Investigators of the two previous Lyme vaccines: Allen C. Steere for SmithKline Beecham’s LymeRix and Gary Wormser for Connaught’s vaccine (which never made it to market) have conceptualized a disease that would enable vaccine development. The one-size-fits-all Lyme treatment guideline (lead author: Gary Wormser) matches the conceptualized disease. This is a flagrant conflict of interest.

Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome is simply a fabricated medical condition disguising treatment failure.

The fraudulent handling of Lyme disease has now been exposed through a recent racketeering lawsuit against the academics that have controlled the Lyme disease narrative for the past thirty years including Wormser and Steere.

You can read the court document here: https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/LymeDisease.pdf

A chronic relapsing seronegative disease does not fit the vaccine model so chronic Lyme which is completely devastating to the patient is not recognized and there is no treatment. The disabled Lyme patient is left to fend for himself because treating this class of patient became too expensive as outlined in the racketeering lawsuit. There is a growing community of horribly disabled patients whose disability has gone unrecognized for three decades.

Here’s yet another victim:

Nicole Malachowski: Unfit for Duty from Debilitating Tick-Borne Disease
http://cdmrp.army.mil/cwg/stories/2018/nicole_malachowski_profile

“Her medical retirement, however, was premature. At only 43 years old, she was deemed unfit for duty due to neurological damage from tick-borne illness.”

_____________________________

The latest vaccine from French drug manufacturer Valneva is another OspA vaccine similar to LYMErix so the possibility exists that the class of patient who experienced the debilitating effects of LYMErix could end up with the same results. There was no attempt to uncover why LYMErix disabled the patient as described in the class action. Until we fully understand how Lyme disease disables its victim aren’t we playing Russian roulette with people’s health?

Please distribute this petition update far and wide through social media as the public needs to know the truth and will not obtain this information through fake news outlets.

To; PrecisionVaccinations
Attn: Don Ward Hackett, Managing Editor

Dear Mr. Hackett,

There are multiple issues with your recent article regarding New Jersey’s Hot-Spot for Lyme disease.

Valneva’s vaccine is based on the failed OspA vaccine known as LYMErix which was withdrawn from the market by the manufacturer not for poor sales as reported in the media but for the severe and debilitating adverse reactions it produced.

Excerpt from the class action lawsuit: (See attached court document)

“The people who have contacted us were, prior to vaccination with LYMErix, healthy, active and energetic. Indeed, the very reason they sought the LYMErix vaccine was their desire to preserve their healthy, active lifestyle. However, what they experienced was a dramatic degradation of their health and quality of life. As will be described below, these previously healthy individuals are now afflicted with painful, at times debilitating arthritic symptoms, including joint pain and swelling, as well as extremely severe Lyme-disease-like symptoms which have persisted to this day.”

______________________________________

Regarding John Halperin’s statement: “Ticks have to stay attached for 24 to 48 hours before you’re at serious risk of Lyme disease.”

This statement is a continuation of the disinformation campaign which is part of a long running racketeering scheme identified in the Shrader & Associates RICO lawsuit. It should be noted that John Halperin, MD is one of the defendants named in this lawsuit.

Please see the following information regarding transmission times:

1. Clinical evidence for rapid transmission of Lyme disease
following a tickbite

Eleanor D. Hynote, Phyllis C. Mervine, Raphael B. Stricker
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, online
before print, November 20, 2011.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.diagmicrobio.2011.10.003

Abstract

Lyme disease transmission to humans by Ixodes ticks is
thought to require at least 36–48 h of tick attachment. We
describe 3 cases in which transmission of Borrelia
burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme disease, appears
to have occurred in less than 24 h based on the degree of
tick engorgement, clinical signs of acute infection, and
immunologic evidence of acute Lyme disease.

Health care providers and individuals exposed to ticks
should be aware that transmission of Lyme disease may occur
more rapidly than animal models suggest. A diagnosis of Lyme
disease should not be ruled out based on a short tick
attachment time in a subject with clinical evidence of B.
burgdorferi infection.

2. How Long Does A Tick Need To Be Attached To Transmit Lyme Disease?
https://sites.google.com/site/marylandlyme/ticks/how-long-to-transmit

Michael Cook reports- “The claims that removal of ticks within 24 hours or 48 hours of attachment will effectively prevent LB are not supported by the published data, and the minimum tick attachment time for transmission of LB in humans has never been established.”

There is ample evidence showing that the CDC participated in this scheme through tax payer dollars financing the dishonest science aligning themselves with the defendants.

Tuttle is doing a huge service in Lyme-land but WE ALL need to be doing this.

The misinformation just keeps spewing out of the media like the Pied Piper and WE must correct them.  The world needs to know:

There’s so much that is unknown yet the “authorities” and the media regurgitates ancient, dusty information that was biased to begin with.

Bug biologist Andy Lima, a.k.a. MC Bugg-Z, on tick prevention

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/health/… Don’t get sick from the bite of a tick! MC Bugg-Z shares tips for how to protect yourself from tick bites and Lyme disease, the most commonly reported vector-bone illness in the United States.

Lyme disease is spread by blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) and can produce a wide range of symptoms depending on the stage of infection. These symptoms can include fever, rash, facial paralysis, and arthritis, and not every Lyme disease rash looks like a bullseye. Seek medical attention if you observe any of these symptoms and have had a tick bite, live in an area known for Lyme disease, or have recently traveled to an area where Lyme disease occurs.

_________________

**Comment**

Kudo’s to MC Bugg-Z for this creative take on tick prevention.

A few corrections:
  1. Ticks are everywhere, not just in the areas he mentions:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/05/31/no-lyme-in-the-south-guess-again/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/04/23/tick-borne-relapsing-fever-found-in-austin-texas-caves/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/03/13/ticks-found-on-rocks/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/08/17/of-birds-and-ticks/
  2. Fewer than 50% recall any sort of rash & many “visible” signs of LD are easily missed or mistaken:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/02/13/lyme-disease-treatment/  My initial symptoms were all gynecological which then traveled everywhere causing a swollen knee, fever, migrating joint pain, headaches, seeing flashing lights, memory loss, and stuff I’ve blocked out:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/02/24/pcos-lyme-my-story/.  Symptoms will reflect the pathogens you are infected with.  Treatment will reveal symptoms and you eliminate them layer by layer.  This cut and dried idea that everyone gets a rash and feels one thing is asinine.  This crud defies all logic and decorum.
  3. You need to be concerned about ALL ticks, not just the black-legged tick: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/05/26/tick-from-hell-now-sited-in-west-virginia/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/10/25/hope-for-southerners/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/05/19/infected-ticks-in-california-its-complicated/.  If you read the PCOS link above you will also be alerted to the fact this may very well be a STD.  Much more research needs to happen.  There also may be other insects involved:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/03/01/strides-in-lyme-research-links-to-mosquitos-as-carriers/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/05/22/mosquito-spit-alone-may-significantly-alter-your-immune-system-for-days-after-a-bite/, https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/02/12/wolbachia-laced-mosquitoes-being-released-why-lyme-msids-patients-might-be-negatively-affected/
  4. Lyme is the rock-star we know by name.  There’s a whole bunch of wanna-be’s just as dangerous that ticks can transmit:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/07/01/one-tick-bite-could-put-you-at-risk-for-at-least-6-different-diseases/  (The actual number is 18 and counting)
  5. Research has shown permethrin to be the most effective against ticks:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/05/27/study-conforms-permethrin-causes-ticks-to-drop-off-clothing/  (You can’t put this on your skin).  For more prevention ideas:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/05/11/tick-prevention-and-removal-2017/
  6. While some ticks go into a diapause in winter, many are still active:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/01/20/polar-vorticks/  (I have buddies who are pulling live ticks off their dogs in February in Wisconsin.)  You can get infected ANY DAY OF THE YEAR not just in spring and fall.
  7. Regarding ticks dropping, I disagree.  Here this news anchor states he got a tick bite on a deck with an overhanging tree:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/07/13/tv-anchor-speaks-out-about-lyme-disease/  While they can’t fly per se, ticks can blow in the wind.  Another person told me of how ticks blew into their swimming pool.  I personally have had the lawnmower blow ticks onto my basement screens and some got in and were crawling up the walls.  Ticks hitchhike on rodents, birds and pets and can go anywhere they go.  No, my friends, ticks are insidious and these outdated, regurgitated myths need to stop.  
  8. Do not follow the “wait and see” approach.  For 40 years we’ve known that prompt treatment is essential.  This crud can get into your central nervous system within HOURS & NO research has shown MINIMUM transmission time for infection:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/04/14/transmission-time-for-lymemsids-infection/  (A little girl couldn’t walk or talk after only about 6 hours of tick attachment.  Do not believe the “experts!”)  Take every tick bite seriously and demand prophylactic treatment for 3 weeks minimum.  Viruses can be transmitted within minutes.  http://www.ilads.org/lyme/what-to-do-if-bit-by-tick.php (This link also debunks the 1-dose of doxy.  Serious flaws in that research.  It also gives treatment options.)

**Comment after article**
If you haven’t read Weintrub’s book, do. It’s quite an eye-opener and still highly relevant today even though it was written in 2008. But, a lot has happened since both the 1998 Lyme vaccine and Weintraub’s 2008 book that declares the Lyme vaccine caused “rare” adverse events.
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/04/16/vl15-lyme-vaccine-another-fraud/ THIS VACCINE CAUSED 229 DEATHS, INCLUDING 43 SUICIDES

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/01/28/the-secret-x-files-the-untold-history-of-the-lymerix-vaccine/

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/07/01/pbs-lyme-vaccine/  Did you know that the LYMERIX vaccine caused 640 emergency room visits, 34 life threatening reactions, 77 hospitalizations, 198 disabilities, and 6 deaths? In a vile cesspool of conflicts of interest are university patent holders, drug companies, and the FDA itself as another patent holder. It generated 40 million dollars before it was yanked. (2008, Drymon)
As you can see in Dr. Lapenta’s article, the death toll raised to 229. Besides, death and suicide, please see:
http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/lymerix One doctor stated that 21 patients developed severe arthritis after receiving the LYMERIX vaccine.
http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php/about-lyme/controversy/vaccine/261-lymerix-meeting “Given that Dr. Marks lead the clinical trials for Lymerix’s competitor, the OspA vaccine produced and then abandoned by Aventis Pasteur, his conclusions mean a lot. “In my opinion,” he told FDA officials, “there is sufficient evidence that Lymerix is causally related to severe rheumatologic, neurologic, autoimmune, and other adverse events in some individuals. This evidence is such as to warrant a significantly heightened degree of warnings and possible limitations or removal from marketing of Lymerix.”

Dr. Stricker states:
Another Lyme OspA Vaccine Whitewash
The meta-analysis by Zhao and colleagues comes to the conclusion that “the OspA vaccine against Lyme disease is safe and its immunogenicity and efficacy have been verified.” The authors arrive at this sunny conclusion by excluding 99.6% of published articles that demonstrate potential problems with the OspA vaccine. Furthermore, the authors ignore peer-reviewed studies, FDA regulatory meetings and legal proceedings that point to major problems with OspA vaccine safety (1-3). This whitewash bodes ill for future Lyme vaccine candidates because it fosters disregard for vaccine safety among Lyme vaccine manufacturers and mistrust among potential Lyme vaccines.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/04/28/new-lyme-vaccine-pushed-same-vaccine-corruption-revealed/
Weintraub’s article states that when considering vaccines one has to weigh the risk of the vaccine against the possible adverse reactions – which is true; however, we need to first start with being honest about the number of people with adverse reactions. In doing this, two things are important to keep in mind: 1) All numbers on ALL issues regarding Lyme/MSIDS are notoriously low. 2) ALL numbers on ALL issues regarding vaccines are notoriously low and downplayed.

Since 2008, more has come out about the ability of vaccines to reactivate latent infections: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/04/24/gardasil-and-bartonella/
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/12/02/scottish-doctor-gives-insight-on-lyme-msids/
This is an extremely important point to acknowledge as mainstream medicine STILL hasn’t even accepted the fact Lyme/MSIDS patients are often infected with far more than Lyme (Borrelia) to begin with. The current news that vaccines can activate even latent infections muddies and troubles the waters further and frankly spells doom to Lyme/MSIDS patients.

Personally, every single Lyme/MSIDS patient I know who has undergone vaccination has relapsed. That’s kind of a big deal.

This issue of problems with vaccines has exploded in recent years with new discoveries of contamination: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/10/15/vaccines-and-retroviruses-a-whistleblower-reveals-what-the-government-is-hiding/
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/04/28/italian-lab-shut-down-about-to-testify-about-vaccine-contamination-damage/
This contamination could very well be contributing to disease epidemics, including Lyme/MSIDS: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/03/01/vaccines-could-contribute-to-disease-epidemics-due-to-retrovirus-contamination/
The first-ever study involving a truly unvaccinated population suggests that: fully vaccinated children may be trading the prevention of certain acute illnesses (chicken pox, pertussis) for more chronic illnesses and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and Autism. The scientists also found that children born prematurely, who were vaccinated, were 6.6 times more likely to have a neurodevelopmental disorder. https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/05/18/first-peer-reviewed-study-of-vaccinated-vs-unvaccinated-children/
The involvement of heavy metals in vaccines: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/09/19/autism-aluminum-adjuvant-link-corroborated/
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/04/09/a-tale-of-3-metals-the-fate-of-western-civilization-what-we-can-do-about-it/
Lyme/MSIDS patients are finding that similarly to autistic children, they improve once they have chelated for heavy metals. Where are these metals coming from?

She was the first woman in history to fly with the Thunderbirds (US Air Force Demonstration Squadron) and went on to be the Commander of the 333rd Fighter Squadron, where she trained more than 200 students to fly the F-15E fighter jet. She later served as the Deputy Director for US Air Force Readiness and Training for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. In addition, she served in the White House: first, as a fellow for the U.S. General Services Administration (2008-2009), then as the executive director of the White House “Joining Forces” Initiative (2015-2016). Ms. Malachowski was at the peak of a long and promising career.

Her medical retirement, however, was premature. At only 43 years old, she was deemed unfit for duty due to neurological damage from tick-borne illness. She first noticed something was wrong in 2012 while serving as commander of the 333rd Fighter Squadron. She began experiencing numerous symptoms, including intractable pain, insurmountable fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and speech impairment, which would progress over the next four years to include disorientation, confusion, anxiety, and temporary paralysis. These symptoms significantly impaired her ability to serve her country in the US Air Force, as well as her ability to provide for her children, and she became dependent upon her husband as a caregiver. Despite access to both military and civilian physicians, identifying the root cause of these symptoms was exceedingly difficult and prolonged. Her concerns were initially dismissed as originating from being overstressed; however, the symptoms persisted. In the end, it took over 4 years, 24+ doctors, and multiple misdiagnoses before she was accurately diagnosed at the Dean Center for Tick-Borne Illness in Boston, Massachusetts. After receiving an accurate diagnosis and available treatment, she was able to regain the abilities to stand, read, and speak. While Ms. Malachowski still deals with lingering symptoms, she now has a quality of life worth living and is again independent.

However, despite moderate improvement after her diagnosis, the battle is not over for Ms. Malachowski, who needs continued medical treatment. She remains concerned about the inadequacies in diagnostic testing and treatment options for patients with tick-borne illness, especially among military and Veteran communities, due to the high risk of exposure for active duty populations and military families as well. Ms. Malachowski is, unfortunately, a very real example of the shortcomings in both the civilian and military medical systems with regard to tick-borne illness. As well as a concern for public health, tick-borne illness is a military readiness issue and must be treated as such to do proper justice to the men and women in uniform. Ms. Malachowski serves as an advocate for patients suffering from tick-borne disease and for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs’ Tick-Borne Disease Research Program to help the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration take a leadership role in addressing this significant problem.
