[Tom Woods] We don't know the half of what the sociopaths in the regime are up to, but if the portion we do know is any indication, it's pretty bad.I just read a 2023 post, reposted in recent days, from Jay Bhattacharya, who is currently director of the National Institutes of Health, reporting that he had just finished Kris Newby's 2020 book Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons.
The book is about a secret U.S. government program in the 1950s and 1960s that you probably haven't heard about, whose purpose was to create tick-borne bioweapons.
Is this the origin of Lyme disease, and the explanation for why the U.S. government is so hesitant to classify chronic Lyme as a disease?
Bhattacharya draws the following lessons from the book:
1. The mid-20th century US biomedical research establishment was psychopathic, wholeheartedly embracing reckless, deadly investigations in the name of developing vaccines and bioweapons.
2. It is possible (and 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.
Bhattacharya ends his remarks with this: "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."
You cannot rule out anything with these people.
To be naive about them, as tens of millions of Americans are, involves a laziness and carelessness I cannot even fathom.
My rule of thumb at this point: assume the worst, and be pleasantly surprised if you're wrong.
