One of the most damning examples of multiple government officials (from two different governments) engaging in psyops against people with #LymeDisease.
Author of email in OP is Edward McSweegan: de facto Chief of Staff for propaganda against #LymeDisease victims.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mc…

cbsnews.com/news/the-man-w…
The email came from a FOIA of Paul Mead, longtime CDC officer who started out in the Epidemic Intelligence Service. Unsurprisingly, many of the well known anti-Lyme #Lyme “experts” began their career at EIS.
Next individual appearing on the email is Susan O’Connell, the recipient. Here’s a good introduction to her MO:

sites.google.com/view/lucy-barn…
The email reads:
“Dr. O’Connell:
“Thank you for your note. I sent a copy of it to Dr. Steve Barrett who built and manages the Quackwatch website.”

xoxo
Sweegiepoo

🤮

So she sent something to McSweegan that he forwarded to Quackwatch to attack #LymeDisease pts & their drs.
Sweeg says, “And what we have here is a war. Actually, a disinformation war. An insurgency against evidence-based medicine. It’s time to start shooting back.”

This sick f*ck is talking about attacking people who are chronically ill & disabled from a TICK BITE. #Lyme #EIS
He continues: “I’m vaguely familiar with your informal group to counteract misinformation. Durland Fish mentioned it to me.”

Two things:
1) it was actually a pretty formal group
2) who is Durland Fish?
next➡️

#LymeDisease
Sweeg had been perpetrating much of the #psyop for years, so certainly he knew who were his little helpers. One of them, Durland Fish, was the author of the infamous “this battle cannot be won on a scientific front” email.
#LymeDisease
Here’s an unredacted version of that email so you can take note of all the individuals involved in conspiring to gaslight victims of #LymeDisease. This one has Phillip Baker chiming in. He just recently retired as Executive Director of ALDF—a role now played by Andrea Love. 🤢
Dr. Love has made quite a name for herself lately attacking sick & disabled people from behind her keyboard & camera. Having earned her PhD from NYMC, birthplace of #LymeDisease psyops, she seemed destined to take the torch from the OG #Lyme propagandists. Thx, @danaparish
The “informal Lyme group” actually goes waaaaay back to the early 1990s, when the perps had to type & fax or snail mail their BS. This is Lenny Sigal of Yale imploring his fellow #LymeDisease gaslighters to make their psyops more formal.
And here’s evidence that the group had a formal name, with an attempt to obfuscate its formality within its name.

“The Ad Hoc International Lyme Disease Study Group”

Note: all caps indicates “Ad Hoc” is part of the official name. Nice try, Allen Steere, EIS POS.

#LymeDisease
What’s this talk of a letter to Union of Concerned Scientists? Oh, that’s McSweegan’s suggestion for a way to smear #LymeDisease victims among the #science community.
Sweeg’s email continued, comparing people suffering from an incurable & mostly untreatable infection caused by a tick bite, to “Intelligent Design proponents”.

Again with a violent metaphor:
“It’s time to start shooting back.”
#LymeDisease
Backtracking a paragraph or two, Sweeg suggests creating a shared repository for “ammunition” (aka propaganda) to use against people with #LymeDisease. Ah, if only they’d had a Google drive back then…
Does anyone have a better example of a public-private partnership whose mission is to prevent a group of sick people from obtaining a proper diagnosis and effective medical care?

#LongCovid? I guarantee they are using the #Lymedisease #psyop as a model. Let the FOIAs begin.
Still being censored on our side. This shit has to stop.

One thing about the failed #LymeDisease #vaccine—#LYMErix—that has always been sort of a mystery is what the heck SmithKline @GSK meant by “definite #Lyme disease” and “asymptomatic infections,” the latter of which they claimed their 💉was 💯effective against. 🤔 Image
I mean…

“If you are one of the few people at risk of having zero symptoms from #LymeDisease infection, take our #vaccine to make sure you are 100% protected from an illness you wouldn’t have known you had, if you had it!”

Quite the sales pitch.
I just happened to be skimming some of my #LymeDisease library and noticed this blurb from the October 1997 ACIP meeting.

“In year 2, there were 13 cases of asymptomatic seroconversion, all in the placebo group, for a #vaccine efficacy of 100%”

🤦‍♀️

Currently @pfizer is injecting 1000s of unsuspecting victims with their #LymeDisease product that definitely isn’t a #vaccine. Bacterial lipoproteins don’t confer immunity & #Lyme spirochetes are a moving target. This 🧵contains stories from victims of the prior vax, #LYMErix.
“Patients are suffering because doctors don’t want to deal with Lyme let alone the vaccine.”

Real patient stories submitted to @US_FDA after #LYMErix injuries. @pfizer is trialing a near duplicate #LymeDisease product right now. Expect similar horror stories. Image
“I am able to live at home *only with support * from family and friends, and a paid nighttime caregiver.”
#LYMErix victim
@pfizer is looking to cause more of this kind of suffering.

“VLA15…uses an established mechanism of action for a Lyme disease vaccine that targets the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.”

pharmamanufacturing.com/development/cl…

#LymeDisease
What’s wrong with this statement?
⬇️
Yes, Borrelia burgdorferi cause #LymeDisease but more specifically, it’s the outer surface proteins that cause the disease. Including OspA. So, injecting OspA made in a lab is a really, really bad idea.
Also, anti-OspA antibody level is not a valid correlate of protection. Borrelia evade immunity through a mechanism called antigenic variation, in which they secrete outer surface proteins (Osps) and replace them with Osps that promote their survival under varying conditions.

1/ We detected B. burgdorferi–specific immune complexes containing antibody to unique proteins, including recombinant OspA, and the corresponding antigen.”

What does this mean? Keep reading…
#LymeDisease
2/ It is well known that standard serologic tests for #LymeDisease produce a high rate of false negative results, meaning patients are told they don’t have #Lyme when they really do. As a result, alternate test methods have been developed…but rarely used beyond a research lab.
3/ In the early 1990s, Schutzer & Coyle developed a test that could help diagnose otherwise “seronegative” #LymeDisease cases. They found that antibodies that are bound in “complexes” can cause these false-negative tests.

The thing that bugs me most (no pun intended) about #LymeDisease is that people accept the claim it’s “controversial” without question. If people were getting properly diagnosed there would be no controversy—so the question should be, who is preventing proper diagnosis??
Who is preventing proper diagnosis of #LymeDisease?

1. @CDCgov, in many ways, but mainly by insisting on test methods that they, themselves have said are inaccurate. They also control the serum repository, ensuring it skews toward the highly reactive arthritis subset.
Who is preventing proper diagnosis of #LymeDisease?

2. The same people who created the diagnostic standard, who also profit from the bad tests, who also control the narrative by claiming #Lyme diagnosis is “controversial.”

#LymeDisease diagnostic tests were designed to detect cases of *late Lyme arthritis*, a condition associated with certain genetics and which usually manifests as a single arthritic knee. This is the visual CDC uses ⤵️
People who have the genetic makeup for susceptibility to *late #Lyme arthritis* tend to produce a strong antibody response to #LymeDisease infection, but it builds over time. That’s why CDC & IDSA say “don’t test in the first 3 weeks.”
According to CDC & IDSA, #LymeDisease is *defined* by this small subset of people who are able to test positive by serology (antibody tests).

It should be the other way around: Define the disease, then establish testing that accurately diagnoses >95% of cases meeting criteria.
