We've been telling you the truth about Lyme Disease, aka the "great imposter," and how it was weaponized by the government on Plum Island ever since we first started writing our newsletter almost five years ago.

So when HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy opened up the Lyme Disease Roundtable yesterday, it was music to our ears -- finally, Lyme Disease is getting some much-needed attention -- and maybe Bobby did remember that story we shared when Greenwich Patriots hosted a talk about his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, back in April 2022?!

Kennedy started off the roundtable yesterday by stating that every single member of his family, including himself, has had Lyme.

But he was lucky... he got the bullseye rash, a classic symptom of Lyme, but not one that everyone gets. One son was less lucky, and developed Bell's palsy from Lyme. Another son developed chronic Lyme, and unfortunately now understands the invisibility that comes with this debilitating disease.

"For many years, this agency had a deliberate policy to refuse to engage with the Lyme community," explained Kennedy. "And there were top officials in this agency who were saying that Lyme disease did not exist, who dismissed patients' symptoms as psychosomatic, and send Lyme disease patients to psychiatrists... which you can't imagine a worse combination. These are people who are genuinely ill and are directed to find a psychiatric problem that explains their symptoms."

Kennedy explained how he's known many people whose lives have been destroyed by Lyme.

He talked about the failures of current diagnostic tests, and the lack of education that doctors receive about the most common vector-borne disease in the country.

Even Kennedy's own son who suffered from chronic Lyme had his symptoms dismissed by doctors at the Mayo Clinic who instead suggested that his son see a psychiatrist.

Kennedy made it clear that millions of people have been gaslit about Lyme, and were told they weren't sick when in fact they did have a debilitating disease.

He estimated that some 35 million Americans have been impacted by Lyme.

Now he wants to do gold standard research on Lyme, and learn from the doctors who are successfully treating Lyme and from the patients to find out what works. He plans to open Centers of Excellence around the country to identify and develop best practices for diagnostics and treatment, and to help educate doctors about tick borne illnesses.

The goal is to get to a place where any doctor in the country can recognize the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease, and then have tests and treatments that work for patients.

“I spend a lot of my time, my life in the woods, and that experience has now become hazardous across this country. I remember one day in 1987 when I stood in my bathtub and picked 29 ticks off myself... and that was typical in Bedford," said Kennedy before he revealed the shocking statistic that half of the year-round adult population on Martha's Vineyard has Lyme disease.

Now imagine how many people in Connecticut might have Lyme and not know it, especially considering Lyme is #6 on the list of most common chronic diseases in the US.

“The MAHA movement is trying to get children to be active, to get them to go outside, to get them to experience nature, not only because that's gonna benefit them physically, but also the spiritual connection that we get to God, to our own health and well-being, to the serenity that we have access to only when we're in nature.”

“And now that's become a hazardous experience for people," lamented Kennedy. "We’ve got to figure out a way to make it safe for children to go back in the woods again.”

Toward that end Kennedy announced the renewal of the LymeX Innovation Accelerator that started under Trump's first term to help advance research into Lyme in conjunction with the Stamford, CT-based Steve & Alexandra Cohen Foundation.

Kennedy rattled off a bunch of statistics about Lyme, and variants (e.g., Alpha Gal which produces a meat allergy, Lone Star disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) as well as the ~20 or so co-infections common with Lyme (e.g., anaplasmosis, babesiosis, bartonellosis, borrelia mayonii, borrelia miyamotoi, ehrlichiosis, mycoplasma, rickettsia, tularemia).

Then he promised that in the Trump Administration, things will be different, and "that the gaslighting of Lyme patients is over."

US Congressman Chris Smith (NJ), who has been fighting on behalf of the Lyme community for decades, spoke passionately at the roundtable.

He talked about how the standard treatment for Lyme recommended by the CDC is one month of doxycycline, irrespective of the stage of disease, and how that treatment fails most people -- and how that's the only treatment covered by insurance.

If you need treatment longer than a month (which in our experience is pretty much everyone who gets Lyme), insurance generally will not cover it. And if you need treatment outside of the CDC recommendation, good luck getting that covered by insurance. This has been a huge problem for Lymies, and one of the reasons that so many people who suffer from Lyme end up in financial distress.

Smith put in an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would force the government to admit its role in weaponizing Lyme disease at government labs in places like Plum Island and Fort Dietrich. Smith brought up the book Bitten, which we have mentioned frequently as a must-read for any Lymie, and the role of the late Swiss-born scientist Willy Burgdorfer in jacking ticks up with diseases.

The bill passed the House, and will hopefully clear the Senate later this week.

Other participants in the roundtable included Dr. Stephen Phillips, a Lyme literate doctor from Connecticut; Congressman Morgan Griffith (VA); Dr. Mehmet Oz; Senator Susan Collins (ME); Jim O'Neill, Deputy Secretary of HHS; Dr. Robert Bransfield; Dr. Bruce Patterson; Dr. Stephanie Haridoplos, Chief of Staff from the Surgeon General's office; and a number of others.

It's worth noting that Griffith mentioned the possibility of a Lyme disease vaccine...

However, if the thought of taking an experimental Lyme vaccine ever crosses your mind, please watch this documentary first. It was done by a whistleblower about the LymeRix vaccine, and it's certainly worth an hour of your time.

Other highlights from the roundtable include:

• Dr. Oz said the people who suffer from Chronic Lyme Disease aren't crazy, and that the condition would now be covered under Medicare -- this is huge, and hopefully a signal to other insurers to finally cover the bills for Chronic Lyme, even the unconventional treatments that actually help patients.
• Dr. Steven Phillips said what we have been saying... that if Lyme "mimics" this long list of conditions, that it is actually the "cause" of those conditions.
• Dr. Bransfield mentioned the dangers of un- and under-treated tick borne diseases, including the relationship to aggressiveness, violence and homicidality.
• Dr. Bruce Patterson, who exposed "the Lyme pandemic exposed by covid," said his research group discovered that certain white blood cells can retain fragments of Lyme pathogen proteins and become activated and migrate anywhere in the body including the brain... which leads to chronic symptoms even when the live pathogen is gone; no wonder Chronic Lyme never shows up on the tests!
• NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya promised, "the idea that Lyme is an intractable condition, that patients are just making things up — those days are long gone. At HHS we are absolutely committed to making sure we do gold-standard science to address your condition.”
• Dr. Stephanie Haridoplos confirmed that Lyme Disease can be transmitted in a matter of a couple of hours, even though the CDC has said it takes "more than 24 hours" in most cases to transmit disease.
• HHS launched a new website on Lyme that finally legitimizes Chronic Lyme Disease as “a potentially debilitating invisible illness” experienced by ~20% of Lyme patients.

You can watch the full roundtable discussion here, but suffice it to say, it was encouraging:
