Steve Luby and Jenna Forsyth are hero-scientists. I loved writing this article to honor their work in #GlobalHealth Stanford University and Stanford UniversityWoods

Bad day at the office: #Lyme discoverer Willy Burgdorfer developing ways to mass produce and infect fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes with pathogens so they can be dropped on US enemies. #bioweapons #ColdWar krisnewby.com

I love that MIT researcher Mikki Tal said this.

The Rise of the Lone Star Tick
Did Army-funded releases of radioactive ticks ignite an epidemic of tick-borne diseases? #Lyme #Bioweapons #Ticks krisnewby.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-…

A well-crafted review of BITTEN from N.D. Clemons: 'If you want to understand the origins of Lyme disease in an objective and entertaining manner then Bitten is a good resource.'

Neil really did his homework on #lyme and #bioweapons . Join me for a thought provoking discussion with this whip smart entrepreneur on our broken healthcare system. Dana Parish Joe Rogan

Circa 1953, using ticks for gain-of-function research: “Passage of bioweapons agents through various arthropods offers an opportunity to increase the virulence of the agents ...” such as yellow fever, VEE, plague, & spotted fever. See p.77 ow.ly/Ksci50IM3fi

An email between the Lyme reps at the CDC, UK's NHS, and NIH, where the ex-Lyme NIH grant officer declares war on #Lyme patients, saying, '...what we have here is a war. Actually a disinformation war... It's time to start shooting back.' documentcloud.org/documents/4633…

“The medical establishment has done nothing but call them crazy,” Tal says, “instead of admitting that they just don’t understand what’s going on.”

In 2022 there were 423,929 positive dog cases, and in 2023 that number increased to 465,721.
500,000 is probably a good estimate for human Lyme cases in 2022.

New CDC #Lyme numbers are finally posted: “In 2022, the number of reported Lyme disease cases in the U.S. increased **68.5%** over the average reported during 2017–2019.” Another epic fail from our disease prevention agency.

Bitten by Kris Newby twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I just finished Kris Newby's Bitten, which tells the history of the US government's secret program in the 1950s and 1960s to weaponize ticks to deliver deadly bacteria to incapacitate unsuspecting populations.

Newby, a talented journalist and science writer, structures her
