Lyme disease is a vector-borne disease caused by Borrelia bacteria, which are spread by ticks.
Problems with narrative
A summary by the substack US Mortality of the 1982 paper on the alleged causative agent of Lyme disease describing experiments with the 'isolated' bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi[1]found that[2]:
*Only epidemiological evidence is referred to as causality, there is no direct evidence that or how the bacterium triggers the symptoms.
- The clinical symptoms are described as diffuse: an inflammatory disease that is initially noticeable through skin lesions. It was first recognized as a form of inflammatory arthritis in Lyme, Connecticut, although the clinical disease was also observed in other states.
- The bacterium was only found in about 60% of examined ticks.
- In order to prove the causality, experiments were then carried out with 8 rabbits. 30-40 ticks were taped to the shaved abdomen of each rabbit. That would be comparable to me (185lb) having over 1,000 ticks stuck to my stomach. (after weight comparison)
- The bacterium was NEVER detected directly in the rabbits, only by means of antibody levels, which are not specific, as the authors themselves show, since the antibody tests always react, just in different dilutions.
- The antibody test used also reacts positively in people who do not suffer from the disease, only in lower concentrations.
- It is also important that these experiments were carried out without scientific controls. (e.g. rabbit ticks without bacteria, same procedure)
- A pure isolate of the bacterium was not obtained or used, so it is not possible to distinguish whether the clinical symptoms (skin inflammation) were caused by the bite wounds of the ticks or by the bacterium.
