On January 2nd, V1SUT detailed the origins of Lyme disease. Following WWII, bioweapons research by the US military on Plum Island (NY) involved the disease-infused tick species responsible for the spread of Lyme disease. Timing, geography, the Lone Star tick, documentation and volumes of well-researched writing on the topic leave little doubt that Lyme disease is another government created epidemic.

America is Waking Up to Govt Pathogens: RFK Jr. Confirmation & Tucker Carlson Interview Acknowledge Tick-Borne Bioweapons
Robert Kennedy Jr. (L), Senator Michael Bennet (D-C): Senate confirmation hearing.
For 50 years, those earliest affected by Lyme disease in New England have privately discussed the now endemic disease’s government origins. In the past, publicly asserting so in Lyme, Connecticut, the wealthy, progressive, epicenter of the outbreak just a short sea bird’s flight from Plum Island, would label one a conspiracy theorist. That is changing.
During the recent confirmation hearing of Robert Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) pressed Kennedy to admit he had previously stated Lyme disease is "highly likely a materially engineered bioweapon".
Sen Bennet: Did you say that Lyme disease is "highly likely a materially engineered bioweapon"? I made sure I put in the "highly likely”. Did you say Lyme disease is a "highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon”?
RFK Jr.: I probably did say that. That is what the developer of Lyme disease said.
Sen Bennet: I want all of our colleagues to hear it. Mr. Kennedy, you said “yes”.
Despite Bennet appearing to be very proud of his ‘gotcha moment’, the evidence is stacked on Kennedy’s side.
In referencing the “developer of Lyme disease”, Kennedy is referring to Dr. Willy Burgdorfer (1925-2014), a former National Institute of Health (NIH) researcher who, just prior to his death, spoke with Kris Newby, author of Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons, concerning the federal government’s history of weaponizing pathogens.
During 2024, Newby outlined some of her many findings on Tucker Carlson Uncensored. A CIA “black-ops guy” interviewed by Newby said he’d dropped disease injected ticks on sugarcane workers in Cuba during 1962.
During Newby’s interviews with Burgdorfer, he described working for over a decade stuffing bacteria and viruses into ticks, fleas and mosquitos at Ft. Detrick, the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969.
According to Burdorfer, it wasn’t just the organism that causes Lyme disease that the US government experimented with. Multiple, harmful organisms were combined including Rickettsia (Rocky Mountain Spotted fever and Q fever), plague, Trinidad virus, relapsing fever, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, rabies, and a spirochete known since 1958 to be found in the spinal fluid of multiple sclerosis patients.
Govt Blames Climate Change but Lone Star Tick Caused Different Regional Outbreaks: Alpha-Gal is Latest
One thing both thinking people and government websites can agree upon is Lyme disease began in New England with the Lone Star tick, a large species originally confined to hot, dry regions in Texas. While the government blames climate change for the initial spread of both the Lone Star tick and Lyme disease, the same tick species has spawned other epidemics.
The latest novel disease carried by the Lone Star tick is Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS), a severe allergy to meat and other mammalian products. AGS is also prominent in Suffolk County, NY, home of Plum Island and the government lab responsible for the Lyme disease epidemic.
Some Lyme disease sufferers also have AGS, but for unknown reasons, over the past 35 years, standalone AGS has spread from the mid-Atlantic US (Maryland and Virginia) into southern and midwestern states. The pattern lends credence to Burgdorfer’s description of bioweapons experimentation at Ft. Detrick (MD).
According to the CDC, AGS cases in the US exploded from just 24 confirmed cases in 2009 to more than 34,000 suspected cases from 2010–2018. Current estimates report more than 500,000 total infections have occurred, predominantly within the southern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic U.S.
Bioengineered Human Meat Allergy as Globalist Talking Point Since 2012
Meet S Matthew Liao, Director of the Center for Bioethics atNYU (formerly Oxford, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Princeton). Liao is reportedly connected to the World Economic Forum (WEF) through NYU.
In 2012, a paper published by Liao on the use of “biohacking” to solve the climate crisis was featured inThe Atlantic magazine. In both the paper and interview, Liao suggests humans could be modified to be less climate harming. Medically induced aversions to meat were among his suggestions.
In 2013, Liao gave the following TED Talk suggesting climate change leaves scientists no choice but to use human bioengineering to lower birth rates and reduce meat consumption. Much of Liao’s audience appeared to believe he was joking.
In 2016, while speaking on a panel at the World Science Festival, otherwise known as the "Davos of Science", Liao publicly promoted the inducement of meat allergies as a strategy for saving the planet. This time Liao specifically mentioned how the bite of the Lone Star tick might accomplish that mission.
According to Liao:
“People eat too much meat, right? And if they were to cut down on their consumption of meat then they would, uh, it would actually really help the planet. But people are not willing to give up meat…so possibly we can use human engineering to make it the case that we're intolerant to certain kinds of meat, to certain kinds of bovine proteins. And there's actually analogs of this, in life. There's this thing called the Lone Star tick where if it bites you, you'll become allergic to meat. I can sort of describe the mechanism, so that's something that we can do through human engineering.” - S. Matthew Liao (2016), World Science Festival
Novel AGS: What is Alpha-Gal Syndrome and What Makes it Unusual?
Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is an allergic reaction to the alpha-gal sugar molecule found in mammal meat and products derived from mammal ingredients. This novel immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody response is unlike other food allergies in many ways:
AGS starts with a tick bite.
“Results of our studies and those of others strongly suggest that tick bites are a cause, if not the only significant cause, of IgE antibody responses to alpha-gal in the southern, eastern and central United States.” - NIH Pub Med, Steinke, Platts-Mills, Commins (The alpha-gal story: lessons learned from connecting the dots - 2015)
The CDC confirms AGS, like Lyme disease, is “associated with the bite of the lone star tick (Ambylomma americanum)”. The tick collects alpha-gal while feasting on a mammal and then transmits by biting a human. Later, when that person consumes meat or mammalian products, an IgE allergic response is triggered.
Alpha-gal sensitization leading to clinical symptoms of AGS (source: NIH)
Consistently, research shows those with AGS had consumed red meat without complications for many years prior to the onset of the syndrome. Many AGS patients describe itching, nausea, diarrhea or indigestion before a reaction. Potentially fatal cases of anaphylaxis occur.
AGS reactions are delayed.
Unique among food allergies, AGS reactions are often delayed (3-5 hours) after the consumption of mammalian products. Researchers have theorized the oligosaccharide (sugar) is absorbed from the gut in a form that enters the circulation slowly.
AGS subverts natural protective antibodies.
According to an NIH published paper, humans, apes and old world monkeys are all known to have antibodies to the alpha-gal antigen. Those antibodies “represent a major transplantation barrier between primates and other mammals”.
The research states this “novel IgE antibody response” allows AGS to affect humans despite those known barriers providing “evidence that the IgE response to alpha-gal is different from typical IgE responses directed towards protein allergens”.
AGS is difficult to diagnose.
Like Lyme disease, Alpha-Gal sufferers experience unusual and debilitating symptoms often compounded by a prolonged diagnosis process. Symptoms of AGS can be widespread throughout body systems and mimic other disorders such as IBS.
Beyond common symptoms such as hives, gastrointestinal issues and anaphylaxis, some AGS patients suffer cardiovascular, nervous system and mental health effects.
Due to a lack of AGS tracking and medical training within the most affected states, one study found the average AGS patient suffers for more than seven (7) years before being accurately diagnosed with many enduring unneeded treatments such as gallbladder or appendix removals due to an earlier misdiagnosis.
Common skin prick tests for allergies to specific animals are unreliable, and unaware providers often neglect to administer the needed blood test to accurately diagnose AGS. Further complicating are the surprising number of items such as pill capsules, gummies, some vaccines and even contact lenses that contain collagen, gelatin, dairy and other mammalian ingredients. Even inhaling meat fumes can cause an AGS reaction.
AGS was “discovered” during cancer drug test.
The first ten (10) documented cases of delayed allergic reaction to meat also connected to tick bites were identified in 1989 in Athens, Georgia. Those findings were presented to the CDC in 1991, but were never made public by the agency.
In 2004, ImClone and Bristol Meyers Squibb were conducting nationwide clinical trials of cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody aimed at the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. It was quickly noted that patients in a cluster of southern states had hypersensitivity, some fatal, to cetuximab.
Nonetheless, cetuximab was rolled out in 2006 revealing more widespread anaphylaxis in response to the drug in the same areas. Those experiencing the often life-threatening reactions were found to have had specific IgE antibodies now associated with AGS prior to beginning treatment.
Later research confirmed the bite of the Lone Star tick as the likely transmitter of the condition prior to exposure to the drug.
Military Study Reveals Oklahoma has Highest Rate of Alpha-Gal in America
A military study just published in November of 2024 tested blood samples from 3,000 military recruits. Almost half of those with a home zip code in eastern Oklahoma tested positive for the alpha-gal allergic antibody. The data suggests Oklahomans, particular those who spend significant time outdoors, are nationally at the highest risk for contracting AGS.

State Department of Health Silent as Oklahoma Became Alpha-Gal Central: Still Not Planning to Track AGS
CDC data shows 65 Oklahoma counties as having cases of AGS between 2017 and 2022. Among those counties, 29 have among the highest case rates in the nation.
In search of case data, V1SUT turned to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). The OSDH website contains no mention of the vector-borne epidemic which is absent from their list of diseases Oklahomans should be aware.
V1SUT did learn OSDH is still questioning if Oklahomans can get Lyme disease despite confirmation of the presence of Lyme’s cause (B. burgdorferi bacteria) within the state’s black-legged tick population.
Next, V1SUT contacted State Epidemiologist Jolianne Stone at OSDH who answered her phone only to inform she is not allowed to talk with journalists.
OSDH Public Information Officer Erica Rankin-Riley informed by email the agency is not and does not plan to track AGS. She referenced a tick surveillance program currently under development by OSDH but informs alpha-gal is not included in that effort. The CDC is in control of all existing AGS data, and with it, the AGS narrative.

DC Controls OK Health Priorities: Despite $441 Million Grant, OSDH Only Tracks What Fed Govt Specifies
The OSDH is heavily funded to serve DC’s priorities. A performance review of the OSDH’s FY 2023 budget shows the agency received $541 million from the federal government and $62 million from the state. The agency is currently receiving funding under eight (8) multi-year, federal grants totaling more than $713 million.
Most of those federal funds ($441 million) involve a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) grant aimed at “enhancing the capacity of public health agencies to effectively detect, respond, prevent and control known and emerging (or re-emerging) infectious diseases” including “vector-borne diseases”.
“THE GOAL OF PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AND FOCUSED PROJECTS IS TO REDUCE THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE THREATS IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA.” - OSDH transaction description for CDC Grant 93.323 - Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC)
Initial funds from this 5-year grant ironically became available in mid-2019 (application deadline May 15, 2019), just months before the first officially reported case of Covid-19 in Wuhan, China. Oklahoma’s original $1.8 million allocation was soon increased to $411 million in April 2020.
Why is OSDH ignoring AGS, an Oklahoma-specific epidemic, despite $441 million to keep Oklahomans informed about and safe from spreading illnesses? The CDC says nearly all of those funds ($432 million of $441 million) must go to “Covid-19”.
With more than two (2) years left to spend, Oklahomans may continue to hear more about Covid-19 and little about AGS because the HHS/CDC wants it that way.
Despite Promise of Culture Change, Woke OSDH Promotes CDC Propaganda: Tracks Health Equity Not Actual Disease
OSDH’s most recent (2023) Annual Health Assessment for the state focuses on social determinants of health (SDoH), Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and health equity. The report claims, “Health equity relates to social justice in health”.
While there’s no map pinpointing the very real spread of AGS, the first graph in the 43-page report is a Health Equity Map. Why? Because OSDH accepted another $43.8 million federal grant to address “HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG POPULATIONS AT HIGH RISK AND UNDERSERVED” and “CREATE A STATEWIDE VISION FOR HEALTH EQUITY”.
Health Equity Map from OSDH 2023 State Annual Health Assessment.
Within its 2023 Annual Report, OSDH publicly acknowledged its pattern of prioritizing federal grant objectives over Oklahoma’s specific health challenges while promising an “Agency Culture Shift”. The agency’s continued lack of action as AGS has engulfed eastern Oklahoma suggests DC is still driving OSDH objectives.
From OSHD 2023 Annual Report, Commissioner Keith Reed.
Perhaps more of a bureaucratic fixture than a change agent, current OSDH Commissioner of Health Keith Reed has been employed with OSDH for more than 20 years. He was nominated by Governor Kevin Stitt (R) in 2022 after serving as both Deputy and Interim Commissioner for the agency.
While OSDH’s Annual Report omits any mention of AGS, it prominently highlights diligent syphilis surveillance through its Sexual Health and Harm Reduction Service (SHHRS). That effort is also paid for through a $14.7 million HHS grant with an inexplicable $7.2 million of those funds being “Covid-19 obligated”. If DC pays for Covid-19 to be an STD, the OSHD is on board.
Federal Govt, State Legislature & OSDH Silent as Neighboring Missouri Asks for Alpha-Gal Tracking
At the national level, in August of 2024, Congressman Jefferson Van Drew (R-NJ) proposed HR 9382 (Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act) to force the CDC to recognize alpha-gal as a major food allergen. The bill immediately attracted a bi-partisan coalition of 31 co-sponsors though none represent Oklahoma. That bill has been shelved within the House Energy and Commerce Committee since being filed.
In neighboring Missouri, State Rep. Matthew Overcast (R) has introduced HB 986 which would add both Lyme disease and alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) to the state’s list of mandatory reportable diseases. The bill is currently sitting with the Kansas House Health and Mental Health Committee.
It seems few state governments will track exploding cases of AGS without the federal government’s grant greenlight.

Both an excellent article, and (per usual 😊) infuriating. RFK Jr’s book, Wuhan Cover-Up detailed much of the history of the insidious bio-weapon activity in the US. I knew about Lyme, but not AGS (other than the threat to create something like this). To see the #s in OK, it is unconscionable that a state dept of health wouldn’t be making this a priority. But … the OSDH fully revealed itself as nothing more than a propaganda arm of the CDC/NIH. The “studies” they released on masks & then the cv19 “vaccine” were rot w/ errors, imbecilic “conclusions”. And our state AG, Gov, many Reps & Senators were made aware of the OSDH incompetence… and did nothing. To this day, no one at the OSDH has been held accountable for bad acts during the cv19 debacle. And now the state epidemiologist won’t answer questions from journalists???? How is this not a jarring red-flag? I pray this article breaks through to inform more Oklahomans (& beyond) & action results. Thank you for this!
