BOSTON UNIVERSITY LAB CREATES NEW DEADLY COVID STRAIN

Oct. 24, 2022

Is Boston University the new Wuhan? Researchers there have skipped the required NIH framework for dangerous pathogens to create a chimeric SARS virus strain on American soil.

Boston University researchers are taking that stance that it’s not ‘gain of function’ due to the fact their merging of the original Wuhan COVID strain with Omicron only caused an 80% kill rate in rats vs. the 100% kill rate in the original strain – essentially a “reduction in function.”

However, there is no way they could have known the outcome and as Dell succinctly points out, they could have created a more deadly virus and then accidentally carried it out of the lab similarly to how many believe is what happened in Wuhan.

Dell is not alone.  Other experts have slammed the research:

“This is playing with fire – it could spark a lab-generated pandemic.” ~ Daily Mail

Of course mainstream media is coming to bat (no pun intended) for the dangerous research as they are bought-out by Big Pharma and Big government – all of which are paid by the same entities and have the same agenda.  While mainstream media admits the research involved creating a hybrid COVID-19 strain, it’s all well and good because of the purpose of the study and the supposed safety measures that were taken.

Sorry.  No dice.

Is Geert Right? Let’s Hope Not.

Rather than control the pandemic, vaccines now appear instead to be contributing to it—with alarming implications, Vanden Bossche warns.

Virologist Geert Vanden Bossche predicts a vicious wave of covid-19 that will be driven by the vaccinated, or, more accurately, by the scientifically dubious policy of repeated mass vaccination. (Mary Beth Pfeiffer)

ANTWERP, Belgium—I spent nearly three hours in this historic city on October 11 in an interview with Geert Vanden Bossche, who has devoted years to studying the complex interplay between vaccines and the human immune system. In our talk, this Belgian veterinarian-turned-virologist and vaccine researcher made unsettling predictions for the future.

I can only hope that Vanden Bossche, 62, is wrong. Let’s for the moment assume he is, that there are significant variables that can and often do intervene. That will make this story easier to read as well as write.

From the start, I asked Vanden Bossche to speak, uncharacteristically for him, in as simple terms as possible.

The short version is this: He predicts a vicious wave of covid-19, with cases already rising in parts of Europe. The coming re-emergence of SARS-CoV-2 will escalate quickly, he contends, and make all other waves pale in comparison. It will, he believes, be driven by the vaccinated, or more accurately, by the misdirected and scientifically dubious policy of repeated mass vaccination.

Vanden Bossche has long asserted that the global covid vaccination program, unprecedented in human history, would put enormous pressure on the virus to mutate; his warning has repeatedly been proven true. While the unvaccinated gained long-lasting, adaptable natural immunity from covid infection, the vaccinated harbor a confused and mostly unhelpful array of old-variant anti-spike antibodies; Vanden Bossche believes these so complicate the immune response that more serious disease from new variants will result. In the vaccinated, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, he predicts, will imminently turn a corner from more contagious to more virulent.

“The losses will be huge,” Vanden Bossche, dressed in a scarf and light jacket, told me across a table in a sunny outdoor café. Hospitals will be overwhelmed, he believes. Stability will be shaken.

**Comment**

Geert has stated this all before here:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2021/05/05/the-big-vaccine-spin-coming-covid-catastrophe

  • mass vaccination drives viral immune escape
  • In the countries whom have undertaken mass vaccination, (UK, Israel, USA), they will initially experience a drop in infectivity rates, but they will inevitably suffer from a steep incline in severe COVID cases in the weeks to come (Which has now been experienced)

Geert is not alone. Nobel Prize winner, Luc Montagnier, a French virologist has also expressed similar beliefs:

  • The vaccines don’t stop the virus, they “feed the virus,” and facilitate its development into stronger and more transmittable variants
  • New virus variants will be more resistant to “vaccination” and may cause more health implications than their “original” versions
  • Mass “vaccinations” are a “scientific error as well as a medical error,” and an “unacceptable mistake,” he said

Dr. Paul Marik, chief scientific officer for the Front-line COVID Critical Care Alliance states COVID mutations have become less harmful.  Omicron was less virulent.  And while Marik agrees with Geert that the mRNA shots are harmful he doesn’t quite follow the doomsday predictions.

Dr. Sin Hang Lee, a pathologist and published expert in molecular diagnostics, also believes covid will become “less of a problem even with ADE (antibody dependent enhancement) infection. We will live with it (with all its descendants) for a long time.”

In response to critics, Geert states their criticism has nothing to do with science.  He also believes Africa will win the battle due to strong immune systems and only 24% of the population getting the COVID shots, compared to 64% worldwide.  Geert doesn’t mention it, but the other reason is many regions of Africa regularly take ivermectin, a known COVID prophylaxis that stops viral replication that has been maligned and banned by ‘the powers that be.’

But Dr. Lee presented context due to the flawed COVID tests and that many of these supposed new cases might be nothing more than the seasonal flu as the test can not distinguish between the two nor can it even identify variants.  Then there’s the whole cycling debacle as well as the “died with or died from” debacle.

Dr. Tess Lawrie believes that while humanity is in grave danger we have the power of choice and the first choice should be to forego all COVID shots followed by a following a healthy diet and lifestyle as well as following the detox guide on the WCH website.

Why Chronic Lyme Treatment Fails – A Review With Strategies

https://www.treatlyme.net/guide/why-chronic-lyme-treatment-fails

Why Chronic Lyme Treatment Fails – A Review with Strategies

By Dr. Marty Ross

Why Lyme Disease Treatment Fails Image

About Fifteen Percent of People with Chronic Lyme

This article is about the reasons people remain ill with chronic Lyme disease even after taking one to two or even more years of herbal or prescription antibiotics. In my experience, this seems to be about 15 percent of people with chronic Lyme disease. The other 85 percent of people do have various degrees of recovery – most getting very well.

Lyme literate medical doctors (LLMDs) have very limited science to guide us about why treatment works or fails – and what the best treatment options are. The last United States National Institutes of Health funded human trials looking at treating Lyme were nearly 20 years ago. We do know from a study conducted by the MyLymeData project of LymeDisease.org that the best chance of recovery is provided by a year or more of antibiotics and working with an LLMD. You can read more about the MyLymeData studies, including those on alternative medicine outcomes versus antibiotic outcomes in What Works? Navigating Prescription & Alternative Medicine Lyme Treatments.

With the lack of human studies, most of the science I use to guide my treatment decisions comes from laboratory, non-human experiments. Fortunately, these experiments provide insights about herbal and prescription treatment options that can work in many. These experiments also provide a number of theories about what can work for treatment and why people do not recover even with long-term antibiotics.

How to Avoid Chronic Lyme Treatment Failure

Before I review the treatment failure theories, let’s discuss what steps you should take to have a successful Lyme recovery.

Kill Germs AND Correct All Body Wide Imbalances

Treating Lyme is complicated. The infection triggers an immune system cytokine reaction that affects most organs and systems of the body. In my experience, the great majority of people can recover if they address each of the steps in The Ross Lyme Support Protocol. This protocol is designed to kill Lyme and coinfection germs and to correct all of the sleep, immune system, detoxification, inflammation and hormonal imbalances created by Lyme. If your treatment did not work, but you only took herbal or prescription antibiotics alone, look at The Ross Lyme Support Protocol to see all of the areas you should have addressed that provide the best chance of recovery.

Find and Treat Mold Toxicity

Chronic mold toxicity looks just like chronic Lyme disease. Make sure you do not have this problem. And if you do – correct it. See Mold and Lyme Toxin Illness for more information.

Theories & Strategies About Lyme Treatment Failure

There are a number of theories why people remain ill even after getting rid of mold toxins and treating with a comprehensive regimen that kills germs and addresses all imbalances identified in The Ross Lyme Support Protocol. The reasons include:

  • Borrelia (Lyme) persisters
  • autoimmune disease triggered by the Lyme infection
  • disruption of a healthy gut microbiome
  • germ debris
  • limbic system brain holding of the illness
  • tissue damage from the infection
  • chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction
  • learned illness behavior and/or somatic disorder
Persisters

The Borrelia persisters theory is an in-vogue and relatively new idea about why treatments do not work. The idea is: under assault from antibiotics (RX or herbal) some of the Lyme germs go into a persister hibernation state. These persisters do not respond to regular antibiotics. We will have to see in time if addressing persisters does help to prevent or correct treatment failures. In my practice, all of my current treatments include antimicrobial approaches to address persisters.

For more information about persisters and how to address them see How to Treat Persister Lyme & Bartonella.

Autoimmune Disease

Through a process known as molecular mimicry, the immune system may attack tissues with protein and molecular parts that look just like parts of Lyme. At this time there is not a Lyme specific way to address this. But for some – using Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) can regulate or reverse the autoimmune attack.

For more information about LDN see Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) & Lyme.

Disruption of Healthy Gut Microbiome

Treating Lyme with herbal or prescription antibiotics disturbs the healthy balance of good germs and microbes in the gut. The germs that live in the intestines are called the gut microbiome. These include healthy bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeasts and fungae. To put the amount of microbes in perspective, over 90 percent of the genetic material in human bodies come from the microbes in the gut!

We allow these germs to live in us because they serve a purpose. Studies show these microbes regulate the immune system, signal healthy brain function, digest food, remove toxins and things we are allergic to and provide many other healthy body regulating functions.

The theory is antibiotics disturb the healthy gut microbiome leading to ongoing body-wide illness. It is not clear yet how best to address this issue or if the gut disruption really does cause ongoing illness.

One treatment option is to create a healthy gut microbiome using probiotics. Another one is to replace the dysfunctional microbiome through a stool transplant – also called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). However, FMT is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At present it is only allowed for treatment of C. difficile bacteria overgrowth in the intestines. And there has not been any research done about whether it could change the outcome of those with chronic Lyme disease.

Treating Lyme is about balancing risks and benefits. The benefit of using herbal and prescription antibiotics is decreasing or eliminating the Lyme or coinfection (like Bartonella or Babesia) germs leading to improved health. But the risk of doing so is disturbing the gut microbiome.

See Probiotic Strategies in Lyme Disease Treatment for information about probiotics and C. Difficile Diarrhea: Prevention & Treatment for more information about FMT.

Germ Debris

The immune system is supposed to break down and get rid of dead germs and their parts including DNA, RNA, proteins and fats. One theory why people remain ill is that the immune system does not get rid of all the borrelia germ debris. The debris triggers an ongoing immune inflammatory response. At this time there is not a treatment I am aware of for this possible problem.

Limbic System Brain Holding of The Illness

The limbic system is a part of the brain that regulates our emotional responses and behaviors. This includes fight-or-flight responses, fear, and survival behaviors like feeding the young and reproduction.

For some in Lyme the limbic system becomes overly reactive leading to a brain holding of illness. This causes some of the ongoing symptoms like pain or even fatigue. Much of this is unconscious.

There are a number of programs that can help reprogram the limbic system brain holding of the illness. Two of the more popular programs are the Gupta Program and Annie Hopper Dynamic Neural Retraining System. Many of my patients have found benefit from these practices. Short of doing these programs, developing a meditative mindfulness practice can help too. Counseling may also help to decrease emotional reactivity.

Tissue Damage

Another theory is Lyme and the immune reaction to it lead to ongoing tissue damage and injury even when the infection is gone or under control. This leads to pain, neurologic and brain dysfunction, mitochondria cell energy factory dysfunction and even immune dysfunction.

My current approach to repairing muskuloskeletal tissue injury and peripheral nerve injury is to use the peptide BPC-157. For brain injury I also add the peptide Cerebrolysin. See Repair & Restore with Peptides in Lyme Disease or Mold Toxin Illness for more information about peptides and BPC-157. For people with low energy I work to repair the mitochondria. See How to Fix Mitochondria & Get Energy in Lyme Disease.

Chronic Inflammation and Immune Dysfunction

Under this theory, Lyme infection sets off an ongoing immune inflammation reaction that takes on a life of its own – causing more inflammation and immune dysfunction. One reason this could happen is due to an imbalance between what is known as Th1 and Th2/Th17 parts of the immune system. Th1 is made up of immune cells that attack germs like T white blood cells and macrophages. Th1 is the immune system offense squad. Th2/Th17 is made up of B white blood cells that make antibodies, mast cells involved in allergies and histamine production, and immune barrier cells that line the mucous and skin membranes designed to keep germs out. Think of Th2/Th17 as the immune system defensive squad. If Th2 and Th17 get too active they release inflammatory cytokines that lead to many ongoing Lyme type symptoms and they can suppress Th1 and its germ fighting abilities.

In my practice I work with LDN I mentioned above to increase TReg cells that create balance between Th1 and Th2/Th17. Another option is to use the peptide TB4 Frag. For more information about these treatment options see Repair & Restore with Peptides in Lyme Disease or Mold Toxin Illness and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) & Lyme.

Learned Illness Behavior and/or Somatic Illness

These are two psychological conditions. I list them here to be thorough, but I am concerned that many non-LLMDs use these diagnoses to say Lyme disease is in a person’s head instead of acknowledging and treating them for a physical illness. In my experience, it is a rare person with chronic Lyme that has one of these conditions contributing to their illness. Counseling is helpful if one of these occurs.

Lyme Disease and Depression – A Personal Story

by | Jul 13, 2022

Studies show that the incidence of Lyme disease in the USA has nearly doubled since 1991. While the disease is associated with many physical symptoms, there is a correlation between Lyme disease and depression. In fact, Lyme can have a significant psychological affect as much as physical ones on infected individuals. Axiom Medical’s Communication Director, Autumn Brennan, had a rough experience with Lyme. In this blog, we share her heart-felt story as well as tips and tricks to manage Lyme’s physical and mental challenges.

Lyme Disease and Depression – Autumn’s Story

It was a gorgeous fall day in Southwest Wisconsin, warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. I packed up my daughters and headed to a local organic apple orchard, where we had harvested apples every year for over a decade.  (See link for article)

TAKE ACTION: CDC Panel Adds COVID Shot To Kids’ Routine Vaccine Schedule

October 21, 2022

**UPDATE**

The regulatory agencies and their advisory committees have gone amok. It’s time for people to stop consenting and stop complying.

This is a declaration of war on our children. The responsibility to be unrelenting as we defend the next generation from Big Pharma now falls on us. In the coming months, nearly every state in the nation will universally adopt the CDC’s recommended vaccination schedule.

This vote solidifies the capture and corruption of the agencies put in place to protect public health. It’s clear this is not about protecting public health rather protecting Big Pharma by granting permanent liability protection. With the addition of this vaccine to the childhood schedule there will be zero recourse for the injured moving forward.  Source

According to this, only SIX out of thousands of COVID shot injuries are eligible for compensation. 

Go here to take action.

CDC Panel Adds COVID Shot To Kids’ Routine Vaccine Schedule

Dylan Housman Healthcare Reporter

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) panel of expert vaccine advisers voted Thursday to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the children’s immunization schedule.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted by a count of 15-0 to add the COVID-19 shots to the immunization schedule, which is a recommended list of vaccines for pediatricians to give children at certain points throughout their development. The addition itself does not mandate that any children receive the vaccine; however, a number of states follow the CDC recommendations when developing their vaccination requirements for public schools.

Children between the ages of six months and 18 years should receive a two-dose series of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, according to the committee. The immunization schedule does not include a suggestion for boosters, although the CDC already recommends children aged five and older receive a bivalent booster for the virus.  (See link for article)

__________________

**Comment**

While the article states the CDC does not mandate the gene therapy injections, 31 states and the District of Columbia blindly follow CDC recommendations & require vaccines on the CDC schedule to be taken by children for school attendance. Other states impose requirements that largely align with the schedule as well.  (Just look at how mainstream medicine blindly follows antiquated, unscientific Lyme/MSIDS “guidelines,” as if they are mandates and the rule of the land.)

As of Oct. 22, 2022, the following states are rejecting mandatory shots for children to obtain an education:

  • Wyoming
  • Iowa
  • Oklahoma
  • Montana
  • West Virginia
  • South Carolina
  • Florida
  • Arkansas

Further, the following 14 state Attorney Generals object to the CDC’s decision and wrote a letter to the ACIP stating the vote was taken prior to the close of the comment period as well as the fact the injections would deny parents the freedom to determine whether to subject their kids to an experimental “vaccine.” It also states the ICIP CDC, and the medical community need to stop forcing unproven policies and medicines on children who are not at risk of bodily harm.

  • Louisiana
  • Missouri
  • Alabama
  • Montana
  • Arizona
  • Nebraska
  • Arkansas
  • Oklahoma
  • Florida
  • South Carolina
  • Indiana
  • Texas
  • Kansas
  • Utah

The other interesting fact is that the vote was unanimous.  No dissenting voices. How often does this happen in real life?  Well, it’s a must if you sit on the CDC “vaccination” panel.  No free thinking allowed.

This article states the members voted to add Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax shots to the 2023 schedules, and despite waning effectiveness, still insist they prevent severe disease, that data has shown is a myth.  This study shows that the COVID shots cause more harm than good when the proper scientific endpoint of “All Cause Severe Morbidity” is used.  The clinical trial being used to justify these gene therapy injections is dangerously misleading.  Besides using the wrong endpoint, the study eliminated the control group, uses statistical trickery and does not take into account “absolute risk.”

Evidently the bivalent boosters, which haven’t even been tested in humans, will also be added if ACIP’s advice is taken.

The real crux of the matter is money.  Under the program Vaccines for Children (VFC), the addition of the COVID shots assure they will be covered under the federal program, which buys “vaccines” at a discounted rate and then distributes them to contracted “vaccine” providers – ensuring the money continues to flow due to the fact the shots will shortly not be available for free under the national COVID-19 response.  Under the auspice of “access” an untested, dangerous “vaccine” which isn’t even needed, and which is still under EUA authorization will now continue to be manufactured and given free of charge to un- or under insured children, but paid in full through the tax-payer’s dime.

When asked about myocarditis and pericarditis after the shots, members of the ACIP cover their backside by stating these are “rare” side-effects, and that most of the affected are fully recovered at follow-up, despite a nurse stating doctors are not even reporting these conditions to VAERS.   Similar shenanigans have been going on in Lymeland for over 40 years.

According to Steve Kirsch:

  1. The “emergency” can now end. They needed the emergency to be able to create EUA approval which gave them liability protection as long as the emergency existed. The emergency is no longer needed.
  2. The vaccine makers can now manufacture fully “approved” vaccines and have complete liability protection forever.
  3. The ACIP vote is just a recommendation. The CDC must add it to the schedule, but that’s a slam dunk.

Important quote:

“I suppose we should not be surprised that the ACIP has voted to add it to the CDC’s recommended childhood vaccine schedule, even though it has not been fully licensed by FDA for use in children. The past three years has [sic] taught us that federal health officials have politicized the COVID vaccine development, licensing, and policymaking process and rubber-stamped the questionable science provided by pharmaceutical companies.”

“Now it is up to parents to let their state legislators know they want vaccine informed consent protections in public health laws and are opposed being forced to give their children the COVID vaccine as a condition of attending school, receiving medical care or for any other reason.” ~ Barbara Loe Fisher, president and co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC)
