Tucker: The True Origins of Lyme Disease
Hello from Lincoln, Nebraska. I hoped to post my latest essay this morning, but it will have to wait until tonight as I have to get on the road shortly.
As usual, I post these Tucker videos for my subscribers. You can easily opt out of them by clicking on your settings, top right.
“In the late 1960’s, government bioweapons labs started injecting ticks with exotic diseases. Soon, people nearby began to get those diseases. Now, tick-borne Lyme is endemic. Naturally, the government has admitted nothing.”
Youtube version:
I have chronic Lyme Disease. I've had it for seven years. It's totally upended my life in many ways and I will never be the same. I went undiagnosed for over three years and finally was able to receive a diagnosis when it became so bad I could barely walk. The damage that my joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments have endured cannot be put into words. After seven years, I have yet to find a treatment protocol that works. Insurance does not cover the costs, so financially it is very hard to treat. Most doctors want nothing to do with it and are ignorant about the disease.
LAB 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory by by Michael Christopher Carroll
Book overview:
"Strictly off limits to the public, Plum Island is home to virginal beaches, cliffs, forests, ponds -- and the deadliest germs that have ever roamed the planet. Lab 257 blows the lid off the stunning true nature and checkered history of Plum Island. It shows that the seemingly bucolic island in the shadow of New York City is a ticking biological time bomb that none of us can safely ignore.
Based on declassified government documents, in-depth interviews, and access to Plum Island itself, this is an eye-opening, suspenseful account of a federal government germ laboratory gone terribly wrong. For the first time, Lab 257 takes you deep inside this secret world and presents startling revelations on virus outbreaks, biological meltdowns, infected workers, the periodic flushing of contaminated raw sewage into area waters, and the insidious connections between Plum Island, Lyme disease, and the deadly West Nile virus. The book also probes what's in store for Plum Island's new owner, the Department of Homeland Security, in this age of bioterrorism.
Lab 257 is a call to action for those concerned with protecting present and future generations from preventable biological catastrophes."
