I still relish the fact that Professor Jay Bhattacharya, an MD, PhD, economist and infectious disease epidemiologist from Stanford University, is now the Director of the National Institutes for Health. The prior NIH Director, Francis Collins, referred to Professor Bhattacharya, who dared challenge the pandemic narrative in 2020 as a “fringe epidemiologist”, ordering a “public take down” of The Great Barrington Declaration which was written by Professor Bhattacharya in collaboration with Professors Martin Kulldorff (Harvard University) and Sunetra Gupta (Oxford University). The public take down, instigated by a group of scientists protecting their NIH funding, was The John Snow Memo, written to “debunk” The Great Barrington Declaration.

The Great Barrington Declaration has almost 1 million signatures. The John Snow Memo barely managed 10 thousand signatures despite its powerful connections. Even in those dark days, the majority knew what was right and what was wrong, even if most had no courage to speak out or to act humanely in response to the gangsters in charge back then, such as Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci. They have both now left their positions as bully bureaucrats running multi billion dollar research funding structures. Here’s Anthony Fauci speaking in 2002 about his activities.

Professor Bhattacharya just shared this on social media, a very interesting parallel to current events only on a much smaller scale than what we’ve all experienced in the past five years.

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 history around a biography of Willy Burgdorfer, the Swiss-American scientist who discovered borellia burgdorferi, a spirochete bacteria often found in Lyme disease patients.

It’s an incredible, infuriating, well-written book worth your time.

A few lessons:

1. The mid-20th century US biomedical research establishment was psychopathic, whole-heartedly embracing reckless, deadly investigations in the name of developing vaccines and bioweapons.
2. It is possible (& perhaps likely, though not proven) that the emergence and spread of Lyme disease may have been caused by this research program, which included large open-air testing of intentionally infected ticks on US soil.
3. The bioweapons program used combinations of viruses and bacteria infecting the same tick to hide the body’s immune response to infection from detection by standard medical tests.
4. Lyme disease and related syndromes are likely caused by more than just borellia burgorferi. Newby makes a circumstantial case for a shadowy rickettsia bacteria that Willy Burgdorfer studied, which he called the “Swiss agent.”
5. The financial interests of biomedical researchers and testing companies peddling faulty tests – alongside their control over the official pronouncements and policy of the National Institute of Health and the US Infectious Disease Society of America – have frozen in place a diagnostic doctrine that has led to countless Lyme disease patients misdiagnosed and gaslit about the symptoms they are suffering.

Closing thought: similar tendencies in the biomedical research and medical establishments are still extant and may help explain many things about the covid pandemic. History does not repeat, but it rhymes.
