You may recall an article by a couple of bioethics professors that appeared a few months back in a science journal and caused more than a minor kerfuffle for proposing that it might be beneficial to the planet to spread lone star ticks around. Why? Because these ticks spread what is called the alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). It takes its name from galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, a sugar present in the meat of most mammals. The immune systems of tick-bite victims can develop allergic antibodies to the meat-sugar and can then have a severe allergic reaction when they eat red meat (beef, pork, lamb).
The two “ethicists,” Western Michigan University professors Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, published their proposal, entitled “Beneficial Bloodsucking,” in the October 2025 issue of the journal Bioethics. “Herein, we argue that if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of tickborne AGS are also morally impermissible,” say the dangerous duo...

It’s become pretty clear that Lyme disease originated in a US lab
This probably did too
They want people week and docile
I think now that so many people are waking up to the fact that the “healthy” diet govt and medial establishment have been pushing for the last few generations is absolute bullshit TPTB are trying other ways to make us weaker

Still don’t understand why people think this is a thing
Past a few yards max rock salt in a shotgun isn’t going to do much of anything but anger someone
We had ticks early this year, in April despite a brually col winter. I’ve been on this property oer twenty years, vigilant for ticks as lots of deer around, never before had one on me. This year caught one crawling the back of my hand, a little biggertthan head of pin , reddish, white spot on back , didn’t take time yet to i.d. know a man in noerth est Maryland who has the allergy. One thing for certain, there will be a monumental increase in dousing the environment with pesticides.
Yep!
Read this recently it seems to possibly have some merit and can’t really see a downside to trying it

Kris Newby: Lyme Disease and America’s Secret Bioweapons Programs
Investigative journalist Kris Newby has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that secret bioweapons programs involving insects, conducted by the military and intelligence communities in the United States, may have led to the outbreak of Lyme disease.
In this interview with The New American, Newby discusses the key findings of her book Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons, which reveals shocking details about these covert programs and their potential connection to Lyme disease, which affects over half a million individuals annually. The interview delves into the history of bioweapons research, specifically the bug-borne bioweapons program of the 1950s and 1960s, where insects such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes were explored as carriers of deadly pathogens.
Willy Burgdorfer, a central figure in Newby’s research and the discoverer of Lyme disease, played a crucial role in this program. Burgdorfer, brought to Rocky Mountain Labs in 1951, researched turning arthropods into bioweapons that could be deployed covertly, affecting populations without destroying infrastructure. The writer highlights an alarming experiment involving the release of radioactive lone star ticks in coastal Virginia during the late 1960s, likely contributing to the spread of tick-borne diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Newby stresses the need for transparency, the declassification of relevant records, and further scientific investigation into the genomes of pathogens carried by ticks.
The interview also raises concerns about the lack of oversight during the Cold War bioweapons programs and questions the current safety of biolabs, especially considering the proliferation of bio-level three and bio-level four labs since 9/11. Newby suggests that CRISPR technology, which allows genome manipulation, poses additional risks, and calls for increased regulation and transparency in the field of biodefense.
Note that on post 17 Widget Jr. indicates that there is research that shows that the bacterium that causes Lyme has been around for a number of decades. This does not change, of course, the fact that they released the Lone Star Tick in Virginia
Speaking of the war on meat, from Europe...

🇩🇰 Copenhagen’s Green-led council is limiting elderly care residents to 80 grams of beef per week for climate reasons.
That works out to 11.4 grams a day, which is less meat than most people put in a single taco.
A Green party rep explained the logic: the elderly “have been the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives.”
So the plan is apparently to make them atone for it in their final years, one thimble of mince at a time.
Critics, including opposition parties and elderly advocates, say the policy risks undernutrition in a population already vulnerable to it.
The council says it’s flexible, but the elderly eating climate penance for dinner might disagree.

See the pic at the link.
BTW, guess what’s on the menu at every Parliament building dining facility in Europe.
Meat.
We live in Arkansas where it’s prevelent. My husband has been out in our yard a lot, and it’s a bad tick year
I keep on praying he doesn’t get AGS.
this is just one part of the overall plan to destroy America.
‘death of a thousand cuts’ is the strategy

That's pretty much four/tenths of an OUNCE per day.
Meanwhile in the states, researchers have noted that in the elderly, it can take as much as 30 grams of protein AT A SITTING to stimulate significant protein muscle synthesis in the elderly...
Yeah I’ve seen that. Gonna have to wait for it to become more widespread before getting needles stuck in my ear.
