Leave it to the "Huffington Post" to publish this opinion from a Yale epidemiologist "who recently completed 15 years of post-college training to become an infectious diseases physician-scientist."

Dr. Morgan Goheen, a faculty instructor at Yale School of Medicine, must really know what she's talking about with all that education, right?

Goheen's article is based on a story about a flight out of Connecticut where she happens to be seated next to an alleged "conspiracy theorist" so she "braced for the worst" as the young man challenged her to some questions.

The first topic on the discussion was Lyme Disease, something we here at the Centinal know a thing or two about, including how the disease can "mimic" or perhaps "cause" nearly 400 conditions, including ADHD, Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, brain tumors, cardiac disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, lymphoma, schizophrenia, and much much more.

We also know that Yale has a bit of a reputation for how it treats patients with chronic Lyme, having heard an absolutely harrowing account of a Lymie who was locked in a psych ward at Yale and abused with dangerous and unwanted psych drugs after Yale refused to test the patient for Lyme, which is exactly the disease the person had.

Nonetheless, Goheen listened to the "conspiracy theorist" suggest that the reason it's called "Lyme" is "because that's where they released it" and added that you "can't cure it" because it had been "weaponized."

Goheen responds, "No. Old Lyme, Connecticut, is where epidemiologists realized that patients’ symptoms coincided with recent tick bites and then confirmed that local ticks carried the disease-causing bacteria."

It is well established that the government has run the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) on the island, located about 8-10 miles off the Connecticut coast, since 1954.

During the 1970s PIADC bred large numbers of ticks for research on animal diseases, including African swine fever, according to research uncovered in the book “Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory” -- so we know ticks are on the island.

Coincidentally, cases of what ultimately became known as Lyme disease were identified in 1975 when a cluster of children developed juvenile arthritis in nearby Lyme, Connecticut.

Kris Newby's 2019 book, "Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons," revealed that National Institutes of Health (NIH) researcher Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered and named the microbe behind Lyme while examining ticks from Long Island, had allegedly been developing insect-borne biological weapons during his time at the NIH's Rocky Mountain Lab from 1952-1986

It's worth noting that "Borrelia burgdorferi" has been found in North America long before it was discovered by Burgdorfer.

“My book doesn’t say that the Lyme bacterium – Borrelia burgdorferi – was weaponized," said Newby in a 2024 interview with Corporate Crime Reporter. "Instead, it presents evidence that ticks and other tick-borne microbes were weaponized, and this may be contributing to the tick-borne disease epidemic that we’re seeing.”

“What Burgdorfer said was that he was looking at the ticks and the blood of people in the Lyme, Connecticut and Long Island area. And in practically every sample that he tested, he saw a different organism called rickettsia. It’s related to rocky mountain spotted fever, which is the most deadly tick borne disease in the United States,” continued Newby.

Burgdorfer told Newby about a "weaponized version of a rickettsia" found in Switzerland near the borders with France and Germany that was also found in the Lyme samples from Long Island.

"That was really mysterious because birds do not fly from Switzerland to Lyme, Connecticut. So how did it get to Lyme?” wondered Newby who pressed Burgdorfer about the weaponized rickettsia on camera during the filming of her documentary.

Burgdorfer said, "they were experimenting with it, it got out – accidents happen.”

Gain of function research and a lab leak?

Gee, now where have we heard that before?

There's a lot more to the Lyme story, including how the "Army funded uncontrolled releases of radioactive, aggressive Lone Star ticks on the US Atlantic bird flyway."

Lone star ticks spread the red meat allergy Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS).

“Shortly after the series of experiments with Lone Star ticks, they became established near Plum Island on Long Island where the government ran an animal disease research center. It was right across Long Island Sound from Lyme, Connecticut. And then there was a huge outbreak of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in humans. Many people died. Many people became gravely ill. That’s one accident,” explained Newby.

“The late 1960s was the height of the airborne and biological weapons program. There were three completely novel, unusual tick borne diseases that all of a sudden appeared at the mouth of the Connecticut River, right across from Plum Island,” she continued. 

“How does that happen? Climate change and land use do not create three novel diseases that all of a sudden appear. There was what we call Lyme disease. There was a cattle parasite. And then there was spotted fever. Twelve miles as the crow flies from Lyme, Connecticut is the research center at Plum Island. It was the headquarters for anti-animal bioweapons research,” said Newby.

Funny that Newby mentioned climate change because the Yale doctor, Goheen, told the "conspiracy theorist" on the plane that one of the reasons Lyme disease is spreading so fast right now is because of "climate change."

By the way, if you haven't read the article, "Did Obama Falsify Climate Data? How Obama Created Worldwide Climate Panic And Massive Spending," you should. Definitely review the Top 100 Clean And Green Energy Truths cited in the article. And remember that thousands of scientists have agreed that there is not a climate emergency.

Goheen also told the "conspiracy theorist" that there are "very effective antibiotics to kill the bacteria (though some people can develop a complex post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome)."

Maybe there are effective antibiotics if you are treated in the first month after getting bit, but that's not the experience for many people who get Lyme and end up with a dizzying array of symptoms that often lead to numerous misdiagnoses and years of ineffective, incorrect and/or under-treatment.

Just go to any one of a number of websites that tell horror stories about getting diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease.

The "conspiracy theorist" then said to the Yale doc, “So in your ‘profesh’ opinion, Lyme disease as a bioterrorism weapon is a bunch of horseshit?”

"Yes. That I do agree with," Goheen said.

Do you think Goheen is aware of the July 2025 research paper which discussed using infected ticks to intentionally spread AGS in order to motivate people to stop eating red meat as part of a ‘thought experiment’ on climate change?

The in-flight conversation shifted to covid vaccination after that.

Of course Goheen promoted the official "science" narrative preferred by Big Pharma, and said how "unbelievably dangerous" it was for people to believe in conspiracy theories.

"Conspiracy theories are why a measles outbreak took hold in the U.S. this year, why CDC employees were targeted in a workplace shooting. They are why Ebola outbreaks are hard to contain, why polio vaccine workers are killed abroad," Goheen told the young man.

One more interesting point is that Goheen is part of something called "The Op Ed Project" which "tackles big philosophical questions" like "what is the social obligation that comes with knowledge?"

The Op Ed Project helps to "scout and train under-represented experts (especially women) to take thought leadership positions in their fields" ... through writing op-eds, like Goheen's.

The ultimate mission of the Op Ed Project is "to change who writes history" based on the Project's values which include a "radically inclusive society that moves us toward freedom and justice."

As such, the Op Ed project rejects "racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, nativism, Islamaphobia, antisemitism, white supremacy, violence, bigotry, and abuse in all forms."
