WHAT IS BORRELIA MIYAMOTOI?

What is Borrelia miyamotoi

What is Borrelia miyamotoi? This tick-borne illness, transmitted by deer ticks, is believed to be underrecognized and a growing concern, as studies indicate a B. miyamotoi infection may be as common as anaplasmosis and babesiosis. Researchers randomly tested 250 individuals living in Manitoba, Canada and found that 10% were seropositive for B. miyamotoi. [1]

Borrelia miyamotoi (B. miyamotoi) was first reported in the United States in 2013 but has become increasingly more common.  The tick-borne illness can be transmitted by the same tick that carries Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease pathogen. In their article, Della-Giustina and colleagues² address the question, “What is Borrelia miyamotoi?” and concerns surrounding this growing threat.

Where is B. miyamotoi found?

Borrelia miyamotoi (B. miyamotoi) can be found in various ticks including the deer tick. It has been detected in ticks located in the northeastern and northern Midwestern United States, California, Europe, and Asia.

What stage of deer ticks transmit B. miyamotoi?

Borrelia miyamotoi can be transmitted from all stages of a tick including the larval stage. The larval tick can harbor and transmit B. miyamotoi by passing the pathogen from the parent to the offspring, a process called transovarial transmission.

How fast can B. miyamotoi be transmitted?

Quickly, according to the authors.  “B. miyamotoi can be transmitted 10% of the time within the first 24 hours of attachment, increasing steadily to reach 73% for a complete feeding.  Thus, transmission of B. miyamotoi is more rapid than transmission of B. burgdorferi.”²

Symptoms of B. miyamotoi

The symptoms that have been described include fever, malaise, headache, and myalgias.  Some cases present with an elevated liver test, low white count and abnormal liver tests that have been described in Anaplasmosis, another tick-borne illness.  Only 11% of patients presented with an erythema migrans rash, according to findings from a case series.

Making the diagnosis

It can be difficult to diagnose B. miyamotoi.  “No test specific to B. miyamotoi has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as of October 2020,” the authors explain.

“The most specific test currently available in several public health and commercial laboratories is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of blood or cerebrospinal fluid for the B. miyamotoi GlpQ enzyme.”

“Serologic testing of B. miyamotoi IgM and IgG antibodies is possible by a few commercial laboratories.” Unfortunately, it can be hard to interpret these tests, as they may cross-react to other spirochetes.  (The authors did not address the risk of cross reactions.)

“One test using this approach, the TBD serochip, is an array-based assay testing for 8 different tick-borne diseases, including B. miyamotoi. Developed in 2018, it is promising but has not yet become widely available.”

Treatment of B. miyamotoi 

There are no evidence-based trials to determine the best treatment for B. miyamotoi. Doxycycline has been suggested, as Lyme disease patients have improved with doxycycline.  “In vitro analysis has shown the susceptibility of B. miyamotoi to ceftriaxone, azithromycin, and doxycycline, with resistance to amoxicillin,” the authors explain.

Prophylactic treatment

Since B. miyamotoi can be transmitted rapidly, it may be prudent to consider prophylactic antibiotic treatment immediately, even if the tick has not been attached for 24 to 36 hours.

“Understanding this more rapid transmission of infection of B. miyamotoi may be a consideration in determining prophylactic treatment for tick bites with a shorter time of attachment in endemic areas for B. miyamotoi.”

**Comment**

I’m always extremely skeptical of ALL information given on transmission times as reality has shown a far different picture.  For more on this:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/04/14/transmission-time-for-lymemsids-infection/   Important to note: minimum transmission time has never been determined and reality shows it can happen within a few hours.  Certain coinfections can happen within minutes.

Since Borrelia miyamotoi is not a reportable illness to the CDC, no one has any clue about prevalence but reports are coming in continually that it’s highly likely to be a much bigger problem than ‘authorities’ believe.

It was recently discovered that:

Editor-in-Chief of Germany’s Top Newspaper Apologizes For Fear-Driven COVID Coverage

Says sorry for telling children “that they were going to murder their grandma.”
 

By Paul Joseph Watson

The editor-in-chief of Germany’s top newspaper Bild has apologized for the news outlet’s fear-driven coverage of COVID, specifically to children who were told “that they were going to murder their grandma.”

In a speech delivered to camera, Julian Reichelt said sorry for Bild’s coverage which was “like poison” and “made you feel like you were a mortal danger to society.”

Reichelt directed his main sentiment towards children who have been terrorized by fearmongering media coverage which has caused child depression and suicides to soar across the world.

“To the millions of children in this country for whom our society is responsible, I want to express here what neither our government nor our Chancellor dares to tell you. We ask you to forgive us,” he said.

“Forgive us for this policy which, for a year and a half, has made you victims of violence, neglect, isolation, and loneliness.”

“We persuaded our children that they were going to murder their grandma if they dared to be what they are, children. Or if they met their friends. None of this has been scientifically proven.”

Reichelt admitted that moderate voices offering calmer perspectives were not invited to the expert table. He also called on authorities to open schools and sports halls.

The article highlighted how Germans protesting against vaccine passports (banning the unvaccinated from restaurants, cinemas, stadiums, etc) were brutalized by police during demonstrations that took place in Berlin.

They also highlighted, Germany’s domestic spy agency which is monitoring anti-lockdown protesters, claiming they are potentially involved in a plot to subvert the country.
WHILE THE PURCHASER HAS VIRTUALLY NO WAY OF CANCELING THE CONTRACT, PFIZER CAN TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT IN THE EVENT OF A “MATERIAL BREACH” OF ANY TERM IN THEIR CONTRACT.
The purchaser of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine must also acknowledge two facts that have largely been brushed under the rug: Both their efficacy and risks are unknown. According to section 5.5 of the contract.19
Meanwhile, the purchaser must also keep the terms of the contract confidential for a period 10 years.
“If you were wondering why #Ivermectin was suppressed,” Ehden wrote, “well, it is because the agreement that countries had with Pfizer does not allow them to escape their contract, which states that even if a drug will be found to treat COVID19 the contract cannot be voided.”8
And perhaps most importantly:
PFIZER HAS ALSO DEMANDED THAT COUNTRIES PUT UP SOVEREIGN ASSETS, INCLUDING BANK RESERVES, MILITARY BASES AND EMBASSY BUILDINGS, AS COLLATERAL FOR EXPECTED VACCINE INJURY LAWSUITS RESULTING FROM ITS COVID-19 INOCULATION.26

New Delhi-based World Is One News (WION) reported in February 2021 that Brazil rejected Pfizer’s demands, calling them “abusive.” The demands included that Brazil:27

  1. “Waives sovereignty of its assets abroad in favor of Pfizer”
  2. Not apply its domestic laws to the company
  3. Not penalize Pfizer for vaccine delivery delays
  4. Exempt Pfizer from all civil liability for side effects

STAT News also referred to concerns by legal experts, who also suggested Pfizer’s demands were an abuse of power. Mark Eccleston-Turner, a lecturer in global health law at Keele University in England, told STAT:28

“[Pfizer] is trying to eke out as much profit and minimize its risk at every juncture with this vaccine development then this vaccine rollout. Now, the vaccine development has been heavily subsidized already. So there’s very minimal risk for the manufacturer involved there.”

Those Dying Post-Vaccine: Where Are the Autopsies?

Exclusive: Jane M. Orient, M.D., sounds alarm over lack of typical protocol with unexpected deaths
Note: Dr. Orient is executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, AAPS.

In this age of supposed scientific medicine and a pandemic, we are relying on death certificates for statistics on the cause of death, even though they are known to be extremely unreliable.

Thousands of healthy people are dying unexpectedly, but our public health agencies are assuring us that their deaths were not caused by the COVID jab. The toll of post-vaccine deaths has reached nearly 7,000, according to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). It’s the best system we’ve got, even though it misses 90% or more of the actual events.

But I have seen a report of just one autopsy. This patient had had one dose of the Pfizer shot and died four weeks later. Although there were no characteristic features of COVID-19, almost all tissues tested positive on PCR for SARS-CoV-2.

A 45-year-old mother just died of heart issues and brain swelling, shortly after getting the COVID shot required before she could begin her job at Johns Hopkins University. There will be tears and flowers, but probably no autopsy – and no pause in the shots demanded for mothers and potential mothers if they want to work at JHU.

My internal medicine training was in the dark ages before CT and MRI, but we were still supposed to make an accurate diagnosis. A patient who died without a medical history was an “ME case.” We had to call the medical examiner, who would decide whether an autopsy was indicated. Anything potentially related to the death, such as pill bottles, was evidence. If an injection had been given, the vial would be recovered if possible. With vaccines, one is supposed to record the lot number, so it would be possible to check a sample for contaminants.

If the patient died in hospital, the medical resident was required to request permission for an autopsy. Survivors might be persuaded to OK one by the possibility that their loved one may have had a hereditary condition or an infection that might affect others. In any event, we assured them that their loved one would be treated with respect and that funeral arrangements would not be affected. A chaplain would volunteer to attend.

The most important reason was that the “altar of truth” was the ultimate “quality assurance” mechanism. Hospitals were required to perform autopsies on a certain proportion of decedents in order to maintain their accreditation. A classic study of 100 randomly selected autopsies from each of three years (1960, 1970 and 1980) revealed that major diagnoses had been missed in about 22% of cases in all three eras, despite the introduction of modern imaging methods.

Unfortunately, autopsy rates have fallen from 25% to less than 5% over the past four decades. It never was a revenue producer for anyone except malpractice attorneys.

I always attended the autopsy if I could. One of my most important teachers was a patient in whom we had missed a condition that was glaringly obvious when the skull was opened. We might not have been able to save him, but since we hadn’t even thought of the diagnosis, he didn’t have a chance.

Tens of thousands of patients died of COVID before a series of 12 autopsies done in Germany showed that most had blood clots and could not have been saved by forcing air into their lungs with a ventilator.

If a person dies after a COVID jab, I would like to know whether there are spike proteins in the tissues and blood vessels, and whether there was an immunological reaction that was damaging those tissues. If a mother loses a baby, I would like to see a thorough examination of the placenta. Was the baby’s oxygen and nutrition cut off because of damaged blood vessels?

I find it shocking that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Joint Commission that accredits hospitals are not demanding autopsies or testing of vaccine samples. It is not possible to declare a product safe and effective without obtaining direct evidence from potential victims.

The manufacturers are protected against product liability, thanks to Congress. But where is the accountability of the government agencies charged with protecting us, or of the private entities coercing employees or students to take an experimental, potentially dangerous, or even lethal product?

If someone you love dies unexpectedly, call the medical examiner, and demand a forensic autopsy.

Other doctors are demanding autopsies as well.

Postmortem molecular mapping by real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed relevant SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold values in all organs examined (oropharynx, olfactory mucosa, trachea, lungs, heart, kidney and cerebrum) except for the liver and olfactory bulb. These results might suggest that the first vaccination induces immunogenicity (provokes an immune response) but not sterile immunity (the ability of the immune system to stop the virus from replicating).

The spike protein is binding to Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors throughout the entire bodies of those getting COVID injections. This autopsy is also a good example of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) and that the virus spreads faster in those getting the injections – sometimes with lethal results. 

DO NOT THINK FOR A MINUTE THAT THESE INJECTIONS PROTECT YOU FROM GETTING COVID OR FROM DYING.
Reporting of death is subjective and imperfect:
Reporting of COVID deaths has been seriously manipulated and twisted:  
COVID case numbers are also inaccurate:

It is my strong opinion that the Lyme/MSIDS community will only move forward by doing the work ourselves, independently from the government and institutions/researchers that own patents on products relating to tick-borne illness.  We have tried working with the government for over 40 years with no measurable positive results. Productive help has only occurred by independent researchers and ILADS trained doctors who are clinically treating patients.

I DO NOT SUPPORT OR PROMOTE ANY MORE LYME/MSIDS/TICK RESEARCH FUNDING TO THE NIH/CDC/NIAID/IDSA WHO HAVE ONLY REPEATEDLY PROVEN THEY ARE AGAINST PATIENTS.
