Florida undercounts Lyme disease and downplays its risk

7/8/24

Melissa Bell, President of the Florida Lyme Disease Association, recently met with Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD, to discuss Lyme disease in their state. Their zoom call also included others from the Department of Health as well as Professor Kerry Clark from the University of North Florida.

Here is a follow-up email Melissa sent to the Dr. Ladapo, summarizing the call. This is a highly informative resource for anyone seeking to contact their local and state health officials. We thank Melissa for making this available to our readers.

The evidence is clear that Lyme disease is undercounted in Florida based on various data sources. The CDC surveillance counts place a heavy emphasis on “high incidence” states—which are primarily confined to the Northeast coast and upper Midwest United States. Doctors and patients are falsely told that there is “no Lyme in Florida” or that it is extremely rare.

Melissa Bell, President of Florida Lyme Disease Association.

As a result of this downplaying of the risk of Lyme and other tick-borne infections, people, especially parents, are less likely to take steps to prevent tick bites. Additionally, those infected are less likely to receive an early diagnosis. According to the CDC, “if left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.”

Due to poor awareness and training, doctors refuse to timely prescribe antibiotics for known tick bites even with symptoms and refuse to test for Lyme because they have been taught there is no Lyme in Florida. There is even less awareness regarding other tick-borne infections that are prevalent in the state, including Babesia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Bartonella.

Lyme and Bartonella infection can persist for years, despite antibiotic treatment (see studies linked above) and following:

New genetic group/species of Bartonella may be responsible for a portion of Lyme-like illness in Florida and other southern states. Standard lab tests for Bartonella will not likely identify these strains.

  • The CDC shows a 29.44% increase in reported cases in Florida comparing 2017-2019 data to 2022.
  • A 2021 CDC Study analyzing insurance data, revealed that in states the CDC considers to be “low incidence,” only 1 in 50 cases is counted, while in high incidence states 1 in 7 is counted. See also How much does the CDC undercount Lyme cases? It depends on where you live.
  • Standard lab tests for Lyme disease were developed to detect a single Borrelia strain present in the Northeast. Such lab tests fail to detect approximately half of actual cases pursuant to numerous peer reviewed studies. See Current Guidelines, Common Clinical Pitfalls, and Future Directions for Laboratory Diagnosis of Lyme Disease, United States; see also, Project Lyme. For unknown reasons, it appears as though the Florida Department of Health is not counting most CDC-positive Lyme cases. For example, in a July 2018 report (page 7), Quest Diagnostics showed an increase in Florida Lyme cases from 283 in 2015 to 501 in 2017, representing a 77% increase. In contrast, the CDC only reported 166 Florida Lyme cases in 2015 and 210 in 2017. Why are the CDC’s numbers for Florida so much lower than Quest, a single lab? In recent email correspondence, IGeneX has indicated a 48% positivity rate in Florida for 2023, which they consider high. There were 526 CDC-positive cases through IGeneX in 2023. Note that the IGeneX immunoblot has been validated by New York and other states and is covered by Medicare Part B. We do not have data for labs such as Mayo Clinic, Consolidated, ARUP, Medical Diagnostics Laboratory, Stony Brook University Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, university and other labs which also test for Lyme disease in Florida, but we trust that the Florida Department of Health has this data available. We would appreciate transparency on these numbers.
  • Canine maps show a significant increase in incidence of Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma in the state. Notably, dogs are less likely to travel out of state meaning the infections are more often locally acquired. 
    • According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), from 2019 – 2023, canine tick-borne infections have increased by 89.53% for Lyme disease; 100.49% for Ehrlichiosis; and 334.23% for Anaplasmosis in Florida.
    • In 2022, CAPC reported 4,284 canine cases compared to only 233 human cases reported by the CDC.
    • In 2023, CAPC reported 4,888 Lyme disease, 12,601 Ehrlichiosis, and 8,424 Anaplasmosis canine cases.
    • According to 2024 data YTD, Florida is considered moderate risk for Lyme and high risk for both Ehrlichia and Anaplasma. Notably, the Lyme incidence changed from 1/200 in 2023 to 1/100 for 2024 YTD.
    • The CAPC estimates its data represents “less than 30% of the activity in the geographic regions.” Applying this factor to the 4,284 cases in 2022, CAPC would estimate 14,280 canine cases which is >61x the human reported cases for the same year (4,284/.3 = 14,280).
  • MyLymeData statistics for “low incidence” states like Florida likewise show a large disparity between reported and actual cases. See Why Doesn’t the CDC Count Lyme Disease Cases in the South and the West? Everybody Else Does. | LymeDisease.org

The one-size-fits-all IDSA treatment guidelines fail countless patients, particularly those who are not timely diagnosed/treated or present with co-infections such as Babesia, Bartonella, or rickettsial infections.

  • A significant percentage of patients suffer persistent symptoms after antibiotic treatment. The CDC previously estimated 10-20% of patients, but now they claim “following antibiotic treatment, about 5-10% of people with Lyme disease have prolonged symptoms of fatigue, body aches, or difficulty thinking as a result of their infection.” We are unaware of any rationale or scientific basis for this change. To the contrary, research demonstrates a higher percentage. See e.g. Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome symptomatology and the impact on life functioning: is there something here? (at six months, 36% of patients reported new-onset fatigue, 20% widespread pain, and 45% neurocognitive difficulties). It is widely accepted that patients who are not timely diagnosed and treated are more likely to suffer from persistent symptoms after IDSA-recommended treatment.
  • Lyme persists due to biofilms, round bodies, inability of antibiotics to penetrate tissues/organs. See Lyme Persists
  • Studies at Johns Hopkins showed doxycycline failed to eradicate the Lyme bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi in vitro. However, triple antibiotic combinations were effective in a mouse model. See also Superior efficacy of combination antibiotic therapy versus monotherapy in a mouse model of Lyme disease
  • Studies showing “long term antibiotics are not effective” used a single antibiotic, did not have a true placebo (i.e. giving IV rocephin to the control group), and/or ignored improvement of symptoms such as fatigue. Studies were designed to fail and then were widely reported without mention of study limitations/flaws.

The failure to timely diagnose and adequately treat Lyme disease comes at a tremendous economic burden. Lyme patients had 87% more visits to the doctor and 71% more visits to the emergency room within the year following diagnosis. This does not take into account additional economic costs due to missed work and long term disability. See Johns Hopkins study Lyme Disease Costs Up to $1.3 Billion Per Year to Treat, Study Finds and Health Care Costs, Utilization and Patterns of Care following Lyme Disease | PLOS ONE; see also The Financial Implications of a Well-Hidden and Ignored Chronic Lyme Disease Pandemic – PMC

Requested Action Items:

  1. Transparency on CDC positive cases. What are the reported case counts for each of the labs who test for Lyme disease in Florida and what percent are being reported to the CDC? Why are such a large percentage of cases not being counted? Why are canine cases an estimated 61x higher than human cases?
  2. Mandated education of clinicians in the state and alerts to medical care providers advising of increase in cases of Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma in the state. Babesia and Bartonella can also cause overlapping symptoms. There are free CME webinars available on Invisible International.
  3. Educate residents about the risk of tick bites, including education of children in schools. See e.g. A School-Based Intervention to Increase Lyme Disease Preventive Measures Among Elementary School-Aged Children
  4. Since 2017, Babesia has been reportable in Florida. Please share the reports.
  5. Similar to the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group, we request that a Florida task force be formed, composed of members who have a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives (i.e. patients, researchers, health practitioners, public health).
  6. Explore potential legislation in the state promoting tick-borne disease awareness, mandating insurance coverage outside of IDSA guidelines when deemed medically necessary, and protecting doctors who prescribe medications in accordance with the ILADS standard of care. See Reviewing Current Lyme Legislation
  7. Fund research within the state, including widespread tick testing and patient-centered studies (i.e. efficacy of emerging combination therapies, screening of at-risk pregnant women, etc.).
  8. Update Florida Department of Health website on Lyme disease. In particular (but not limited to):
    • The FL DOH page discussing Lyme rashes under the symptoms and treatment tab is outdated and inconsistent with the CDC website. It is critical to communicate that there are many forms of erythema migrans rashes, not just the classic bull’s-eye. The current page states “between 60 and 80% of people will develop a red, “bull’s-eye rash” which is not accurate. In this study, researchers discovered most rashes were uniform in color (51%), pink (74%), oval (63%), and with clear borders (92%). Only 6% had the classic bull’s-eye pattern.
    • Under the symptoms and treatment tab, it states “a few patients, especially those diagnosed in the later stages of disease, may have persistent or recurrent symptoms.” (emphasis added). For many years, the  CDC had recognized that 10-20% of patients continue to suffer symptoms after antibiotic treatment. Without explanation, the CDC recently changed this estimate to 5-10% without any clear rationale for the change. Research from Johns Hopkins demonstrates a higher percentage than the CDC. See e.g. Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome symptomatology and the impact on life functioning: is there something here? (at six months, 36% of patients reported new-onset fatigue, 20% widespread pain, and 45% neurocognitive difficulties); see also Health Care Costs, Utilization and Patterns of Care following Lyme Disease | PLOS ONE (“over 63% of the Lyme disease cases had at least one diagnosis associated with PTLDS, which is 36 percentage points higher a rate than the prevalence of the same symptoms in our control population”). Whatever estimate is used, it is certainly more than “a few.”
    • Under the transmission tab of the FL DOH website, it states “studies have shown that both nymph and adult ticks need to be attached for more than 24 hours to effectively transmit the infection.” However, a literature review has determined that in animal models, transmission can occur in less than 16 hours, and the minimum attachment time for transmission of infection has never been established. See Lyme borreliosis: a review of data on transmission time after tick attachment – PMC. In particular, if a tick is only partially fed and then attaches to a human, spirochetes can be found in the salivary glands increasing the risk of disease transmission after shorter attachment periods. Additionally, if a tick is not removed properly (i.e. if the body is squeezed or if heat or oils are used), then this increases the risk of disease transmission.
    • There is a growing body of research showing that ticks can also spread Bartonella infections to humans. See Can Ticks Transmit Bartonella? – Project Lyme.
    • Include acknowledgement that Lyme can spread from mother to baby during pregnancy. See e.g., CDC “Untreated Lyme disease during pregnancy can lead to infection of the placenta; spread from mother to fetus is possible but extremely rare.” While we disagree with the term “extremely rare” absent scientific studies proving this point, at least the CDC is now publicly acknowledging maternal-fetal transmission. See also Congenital Lyme disease is under-recognized by medical professionals (50% of Lymelight grant recipients were born with Lyme disease); Ongoing study Pregnancy and Early Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Following In Utero Lyme Disease Exposure funded by the Clinical Trials Network for Lyme and other Tick-borne Diseases (CTN); Lyme Disease and Pregnancy – LYMEHOPE
    • Provide an acknowledgement that existing laboratory tests for Lyme disease often result in false negative results such as: “if you are tested for Lyme disease and the results are negative, this does not necessarily mean you do not have Lyme disease. If you continue to experience unexplained symptoms, you should contact your health care provider and inquire about the appropriateness of retesting or initial or additional treatment.” See e.g., Maryland legislation.
    • Provide links to both the ILADS and IDSA standards of care for treating Lyme disease and related infections. See Schools of Thought about Lyme Disease

Bird Flu Raised to DEFCON 2 Right Before Election

July 16, 2024

In her Substack, Meryl Nass reports on a calculated attempt to systematically construct the bird flu narrative to incite panic in all of us. Federal government entities, which do not have the right to test animals, are laying the groundwork to push a new bird flu jab + remove our access to healing foods. Unlike COVID, this will be a pandemic of humans and animals, including the ones we use as food sources.  In order to bribe states into testing to falsely raise case numbers to insight fear, a BILLION Dollars have been put on the table by the FDA & the USDA to work in tandem with states on a ‘voluntary’ program to test animals.  A Texas rancher has exposed the federal government’s efforts to crack down on the agriculture industry, one of which includes spiking the U.S. food supply with mRNA vaccines.  Under Biden, the USDA has been running secret trials on animals.  So far a huge percentage of the livestock that received the injections has died. There is also a huge push for mandatory ID chipping of cattle after the Biden admin previously failed to implement chipping due to massive public backlash. The rancher also issued a red alert in April when the feds started bulldozing undamaged farms, destroying the remaining feed and grasses in Texas, following the devastating wildfires

It’s déjà vu all over again.
The Bird Flu drum beat began most recently in 2022 with an ominous warning from former CDC director Robert Redfield but is simply ‘another summer re-run.’

Redfield finally admitted he does not administer the COVID shots in his own practice because the spike proteins are “toxic to the body,” and confirmed that Nano-Lipid particles allow the injected material to penetrate heart cells, causing them to produce the toxic spike protein. Sadly, 43 year experienced Dr. James Thorp is now seeing babies having heart attacks in the womb, and a new peer-reviewed study has revealed that the COVID injected suffer a staggering loss of life expectancy.  

Despite Redfield’s active part in approving the COVID shots, he states they never should mandated.  

He falls short; however, in admitting they never should have been approved in the first place – probably because that would implicate HIM. 

Redfield, who served on he board of the Bill Gates’ Global Fund, was previously found guilty of falsifying scientific data on the HIV vaccine, but got a free pass for that too.  Seems he’s the Teflon Man.

But none of this stops ‘the powers that be’ from raising Bird Flu to DEFCON 2 and having an International Bird Flu Summit in Arlington, VA in October, conspicuously, right before the election.  Topics to be discussed include mass ‘vaccination’ and quarantines, and how to counter mis and dis-information. The summit — organized by the privately held company SyllabusX — targets a wide audience: public health officials, international agencies and organizations, public policymakers, the pharmaceutical industry, scientists, researchers, and stakeholders in industries such as poultry production, livestock, diagnostics, food safety and healthcare.  Nass describes it as “basically a trade show” designed to fuel the biodefense industry by feeding it bird flu contracts selling anything from nets for chickens to ‘vaccines.’  It’s a ‘pay to play’ scheme and those who pay more get more talking time.

Individual registration fees range from $925 to $1,550 per person.
Ever get the distinct impression this isn’t about health at all?

We are continually reminded by level-headed doctors that similarly to COVID, there are safe, readily available medicines (hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine) that treat bird flu – although all cases to date have been mild.  The question is, will doctors even be allowed to use them or will they be banned like they were for COVID?  For those that remember twenty years back, there was a type of bird flu that killed roughly 60% of the people who had it. However, the virus has mutated, Nass states. “So it is no longer a deadly disease,” and has never been transmitted from human to human – although secretive ‘gain of function’ research could change that.

The Drum Beat for Bird Flu Vaccines Has Begun: Nonsensical, Couched in a Pseudo-scientific Jumble of Thoughts

The “pro vax experts” all feed at the biodefense trough or treat animals, but opine on humans. I bolded their names.
MERYL NASS
JUL 16, 2024

This is from Kaiser Health News and ABC News.

Here are the nuggets that makes sense in this article:

  • “There’s no evidence that this year’s bird flu virus spreads between people or causes serious disease in humans.

  • And it’s unclear how well the available vaccine would prevent either scenario.”

Ignore everything else.

Actually, there are many “available vaccines” and none of the stockpiled vaccines are matches for the current H5N1. There are several vaccines in development but you can’t test them against a virus that does not exist. There is no bird flu virus that transmits human to human, so there is no way to tell if a vaccine would work against some future virus. Remember, for this virus to become a problem, it has to gain the ability to transmit human to human efficiently. But it also has to become more pathogenic. The chance of all this happening outside a lab is miniscule.

No rapidly produced vaccine has ever been safe and effective. Never. Do YOU want to be first up to try out the next one?  (See link for article)

Bird flu: pink eye and a cold for 4 more people. More cows infected. No one has a plan, unless the plan is to keep the story simmering till we need another pandemic

Why not ignore it? The cows recover after a couple of weeks and the people barely notice the illness. Would the chickens recover if we left them alone?

Bird flu snapshot: As the number of infected dairy herds mount, so too does pessimism about driving H5N1 out of cows

https://www.statnews.com/2024/07/15/bird-flu-snapshot-h5n1-infected-herds/

By Helen Branswell July 15, 2024

Important excerpts:

  • California, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington are on the top 10 list of dairy-producing states by revenue. Not one of those five has reported an affected herd.
  • Are they luckier? More vigilant? Do cows move around less frequently in those states? We don’t yet have those answers. But a news report from Missouri last week may help explain a possible difference between reporting and non-reporting states. (Missouri is one of the latter.)
  • Reporter Mary McCue Bell in the Columbia Missourian quoted a veterinarian with the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s animal health division saying that to date only 17 dairy cows — in a state that boasts 60,000 — have been tested for H5N1.
  • There’s a maxim in epidemiology: Seek and ye shall find. It would seem some states are not seeking.  (See link for article)

In a leaked phone call between Donald Trump and RFK, Trump is heard discussing the dangers of vaccinating babies, and how “something is wrong with that whole system”.  He should say this openly and honestly.  Enough with the ‘vaccine hesitancy’ excuse for covering up harm.  But nothing is ever straight-forward.  Dr. Jane Ruby just exposed how JD Vance’s (Trump’s new VP pick) company Narya Capital is an investor in Amplify Bio, which is in partnership RNAV8 Bio with creating more mRNA vaccines.

Rep. Thomas Massie recently questioned former board member of the IDSA, Dr. Pavia, and exposed how the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) has taken monies from AstraZeneca and Pfizer. Pavia cleverly responded that this money goes into their ‘foundation’ which is supposedly separate.  The same exact game is played with the CDC ‘foundation’ as well, proving these are not neutral government agencies concerned with public health at all, but are riddled with conflicts of interest and dominated by Big Pharma.

Microbiologist Tom Grier Passes

https://www.doughertyfuneralduluth.com/obituaries/thomas-grier

Thomas Grier

November 6, 1954 — June 19, 2024
Duluth

Thomas M. Grier passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday June 19, 2024, in his residence. Tom was born in Minneapolis to Rodney Fellows Grier and Anne Bugocki Grier on November 6, 1954. He graduated from Hopkins High School and earned a BS in biology and chemistry and a Master of Science degree from the U of M Duluth. He worked for K-B Toys in Tacoma, WA and Pocatello, ID before moving back to Duluth, MN when he started work as a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep for Wyeth Co. in women’s products. His science background and outgoing personality helped him win sales awards and be successful. In 1995 he was in the hospital with neurological problems when he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and could no longer work. He would struggle with the effects of Lyme the rest of his life. Tom started working part-time for Barnes and Noble Booksellers, which he enjoyed. He also started the Duluth Lyme support group and started attending national Lyme Disease conferences to learn of the latest research. He self-published a large booklet with the current information about Lyme to help patients understand the disease. This led to him spending countless hours on the phone trying to help people get the appropriate treatment. Tom traveled around the region giving lectures about the latest findings about Lyme and produced several DVD’s including “Lyme on the Brain” and “Endemic Ignorance”. The past few years, he was plagued with pain and weakness from Lumbar Spinal Stenosis which caused a bad fall and severely limited his mobility, along with his diabetes, which caused swelling of his legs. His death was unexpected, and he was happy and cheerful despite his health issues. He is survived by his brother Terry Louis Grier and he was preceded in death by his parents and older sister Sharon (Grier) Tweit. He will be missed.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday July 10th from 2pm until the 3pm Memorial Service in Grace Lutheran Church. 5454 Miller Trunk HWY, Hermantown, MN 55811. A time of sharing will take place after the service in the church. Arrangements by Dougherty Funeral Home. 600 E. 2nd St. Duluth, MN 55805. 218-727-3555.

Five States Sue Pfizer For False Claims, Report Shows Another COVID Shot Risk Factor & the Uncanny Timing of the Rollout

June 19, 2024

https://karenkingston.substack.com/p/why-are-5-states-suing-pfizer-and

Why Are 5 STATES SUING PFIZER and NOT Moderna?

Pfizer researched and developed their COVID-19 mRNA injections independent of the Operation Warp Speed program while demanding to maintain ownership and control of their human safety data.

KAREN KINGSTON
JUN 19, 2024

June 18, 2024: Yesterday, Attorney General Kris Kobach broke the news that 4 other states will be joining Kansas in suing Pfizer for willfully concealing, suppressing, and/or omitting material evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of their mRNA injections.

Per the lawsuit, the Big pharma giant conspired with individuals from Health & Human Services, the media, universities, social media platforms, and other businesses and organization in order to manipulate the American people into receiving an injection that they would have otherwise declined if Pfizer had accurately disclosed their COVID-19 mRNA clinical data and adverse events reports to the public and US government.

Why Are 5 U.S. States Suing Pfizer and NOT Moderna?

Per this 4-minute video clip, Kobach addresses the unconscionable acts that Pfizer committed and the reason why he and other state Attorneys General are suing Pfizer first, and not Moderna or J&J.  (See link for article and video)

______________

**Comment**

In short, Pfizer did not participate in the Operation Warp Speed program.  They remained separate to avoid government oversight and to maintain control (and secrecy) of their data reports.  Our government is still guilty of conspiring with them as well as the media by coughing up $1 Billion to promote the shots. This historical lesson shows that the CIA regularly infiltrates the media, but that now it IS the media.  For decades it has planted news stories.

Again, this is not informed consent.  This is propaganda where people are being paid.

Kingston does a great job explaining the intricacies of contracts and how Pfizer has remained separate from government funding, etc.  She questions if five states suing could spell the end of the mRNA injections.  She also recommends contacting your attorney general and state prosecutor’s office to file a similar suit against Pfizer. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a similar lawsuit against Pfizer last November.

Kansas accuses Pfizer of misleading public about COVID vaccine in lawsuit

By 
Article Excerpts:
June 17 (Reuters) – The U.S. state of Kansas on Monday sued Pfizer (PFE.N), opens new tab, accusing the company of misleading the public about its COVID-19 vaccine by hiding risks while making false claims about its effectiveness.
In a lawsuit, opens new tab filed in the District Court of Thomas County, the state said the New York-based drugmaker’s alleged false statements violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. It is seeking unspecified money damages……
The lawsuit claims that, beginning shortly after the vaccine’s rollout in early 2021, Pfizer concealed evidence that the shot was linked to pregnancy complications, including miscarriage, as well as inflammation in and around the heart, known as myocarditis and pericarditis.  (See link for article)
_______________
**Comment**
Pfizer has been in trouble for many crimes throughout history, yet doesn’t pay a dime in taxes.  Its own employees have exposed the company’s misdeeds.
Our corrupt public health agencies protect this company, and it’s taken a court of law to even get Pfizer’s trial data, which should be accessible to everyone.

BREAKING Publication: COVID-19 Vaccines: A Risk Factor for Cerebral Thrombotic Syndromes

Unacceptable Hazard for Blood Clots to the Brain

JUN 19, 2024
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

I have several patients who have suffered multiple strokes after COVID-19 vaccination. The Spike protein is known to circulate in blood as shown by Brogna et al in half of vaccinated patients for at least six months. Other studies have demonstrated the Spike protein directly damages the wall of the blood vessels and causes blood clots.

Rogers et al use the CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System to compare rates of cerebral thrombosis among COVID-19 vaccine recipients to the large number of individuals who take an influenza vaccine annually. The vast majority of events reported to VAERS are made by doctors and other healthcare providers who have determined the vaccine is the cause of the problem. Compared to influenza vaccines given over 34 years, COVID-19 vaccines in 36 months of use had over 1000-fold increased risk of most blood clot events, and compared to all vaccines combined administered over 34 years, this risk remained at over 200-times greater with COVID-19 vaccination.

This paper did not capture the level of permanent neurologic devastation and disability suffered by these patients. I can tell you that the rates must be very high given the extensive nature of the blood clots reported. These data among others strongly support removing all COVID-19 vaccines and boosters from the market. No one should be put at risk for a serious stroke with any vaccine.  (See link for article)

Pfizer Pro Quo: more evidence emerges that drugmakers cut deal to help Biden win election

Another quid pro quo for quid pro Joe?

JORDAN SCHACHTEL
JUN 19, 2024
Article Excerpts:

Anthony Fauci’s new book has granted the public more detail concerning the truly impeccable timing of Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine trial data rollout.

We already know that Pfizer decided to inexplicably delay publishing the results of their mRNA trial from October 2020 to right after the election….

The original deal with Pfizer was negotiated by the Trump Administration during the days of Operation Warp Speed. It paid the pharma giant $19.50 a dose. The Biden Administration would eventually sign off on a deal to give Pfizer approximately $30.48 per dose, resulting in an astronomical 56+% hike from the deal negotiated by the Trump administration.

At the peak of Covid hysteria, Pfizer was bringing in almost $10 billion in net income per quarter, thanks to a 33% mRNA profit margin in the U.S. market.  (See link for article).
