With COVID’s man-made origins being revealed, it’s worth re-examining the dark origins of Lyme disease, another bioweapon leak that continues to infect millions of Americans. THREAD on Lyme’s origins, Cold War bioweapons, and why this will happen again: Image Image Lyme disease being a government bioweapon is *not* a conspiracy theory.
It’s one of the *leading mainstream theories* about the origins of the disease.
So much so that in 2019 a bipartisan majority in congress ordered the Pentagon to report on their weaponization of ticks. Image
Image So what is lyme disease?
It’s a bizarre tickborne illness that infects half a million Americans a year.
The spiral shaped borrelia bacteria is similar to syphilis. Besides fatigue and arthritis-like symptoms, it also delivers Alzheimer-like symptoms to some. Image
Image In 1975 Lyme disease was first recognized by scientists as a distinct illness. It wasn’t until 1981 that the famous medical entomologist and tick expert Willy Burgdorfer discovered the biological agent causing the disease. Image Dr. Burgdorfer was hailed as a hero.
But he harbored a dark secret.
He wasn’t an ordinary scientist.
He was actually a biological weapons scientist who spent his career infecting insects with the worst diseases known to man. Image n the 50s the Pentagon began a bio weapons program to weaponize insects.
The theory was that insects could get bypass protective gear and inject a disease directly into their victims.
Insects are hardy, and if dropped on an area, they'd turn wide swaths of terrain into hazards
To weaponize ticks Dr. Burgdorfer would force feed the ticks diseases through tiny glass tubes where they would waterboard these insects with diseases like Q fever, typhus, and even rabies. Image Most of this weaponization of insects was happening at Camp Detrick where the CIA and the Pentagon worked together on these projects.
