So, first of all, it was undermining his code of ethics, such as they were, to lie about that article. Second of all is the frenzy of publishing about this new organism that had never been seen in the U.S. before. He got Lyme disease himself. It was a Sunday. The lab techs weren't in there. He was cleaning the rabbit cages of Lyme-infected rabbits.

Urine splashed in his eyes and all of a sudden he got Lyme disease. And he got really, really sick. And I think that helped him grow a conscience. He was angry at his employers for making him covered up. He was realizing that he had unleashed a monster, possibly, onto the American public. So that's my theory.

After Willie just announced the discovery of Lyme disease, that's 1982, there were a bunch of researchers from mostly the East Coast who rushed in to participate in the discovery because to be a disease discovery means you're going to have grants forever if you're one of the disease discoverers. I call them the new disease carpetbaggers. But about that time, the laws changed.

changed, and it all of a sudden allowed university researchers and people like the NIH and the CDC to share in big pharma profits. So from the beginning, they knew that Lyme disease could be cured with an early dose of penicillin and doxycycline. But there was a lot more money in vaccines.

So I think this group of scientists teamed up with pharma so they could take advantage of this royalty sharing. And we've seen this with COVID, too. And they de-emphasized the cure with antibiotics and instead put all their eggs in the vaccine basket.

Even though you can cure Lyme disease, which is with like two weeks of these very cheap off patent antibiotics, all the emphasis went to the vaccines.

Yes. And they had also focused on one organism, the Lyme disease, and sort of ignored the fact that with ticks in america there's just like 20 different viruses and bacteria that can be delivered at the same time as the lyme disease so if you have a vaccine for lyme disease well that might not help you if you have this cattle parasite called babesiosis or the um
