A chilling connection between a US biological weapons program and the Lyme disease epidemic has been detailed by journalist Kris Newby, author of "Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons." The timeline and geography she presents are impossible to ignore. Prior to the mid-1970s, Lyme disease... was not a noticeable public health problem. Then, Newby's research reveals, a mysterious cluster of three previously rare and virulent tick-borne diseases emerged simultaneously in Lyme, Connecticut—directly across the water from Plum Island, the US government's primary animal disease biological weapons research facility. The diseases were: • Lyme Arthritis (caused by the Borrelia spirochete) • A Rickettsia (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) • Babesia, a cattle parasite rarely found in humans This triple emergence of novel pathogens at the epicenter of America's bioweapons research peak was a red flag. Newby states this is precisely the pattern that would trigger a high-level CDC investigation into a potential unnatural outbreak. The official story credits NIH researcher Willy Burgdorfer with discovering the Lyme spirochete. However, Newby's investigation suggests the response was atypically secretive. Instead of a call for urgent research, the complex, often chronic illness was minimized—reduced to a simple bite and a short course of antibiotics, a solution that has proven tragically insufficient for millions. The question posed is stark: Is the coincidence of geography and timing merely a conspiracy theory, or is Lyme disease a "highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon," as Newby has concluded? The evidence she presents suggests we have not been told the whole story of this modern plague.show more
