Subject: Just say Yale has been sued in federal court- Judge
Christopher Droney is assigned the case
Date: Thursday, June 29, 2006 22:35:19 [View Source]
B-
All you have to see to prove this racketeering crime
is Yale's Robert Schoen publishing in 1998 - before
LYMErix was approved by the FDA - that they could not
read their Western Blots in LYMErix vaccinated people:
http://www.actionlyme.org/SCHOEN_IN..._LYMERIX_INJUR=
EES.htm
Note that Schoen says LYMErix vaccinated people will
have to be tested with Western Blotting that leaves
out OspA and B. That explains the CDC's scam at
Dearborn in a nutshell: Leave OspA and B out of the
testing standard, but OspA is the vaccine?, But if you
have one of those antibodies, OspA or B, you don't
have Lyme?
Duh.
Yale knew they never had a Lyme vaccine long before
LYMErix phase III trial began. That's why Allen
Steere went to Europe in 1992 or 1993 to invent his
imaginary current CDC method to diagnose Lyme disease.
I would not bother even trying to ask the NYTimes to
cut the crap if I were you. Each of us must have sent
them a 1000 Lyme-related letters over the years. They
don't have any writers with any real brains or
cajones.
As I said.
Like the USDOJ.
This is the biggest sci-med scam in history and Kevvy
Rowlandgate O'Connor has a big press conference
because he caught the garbage men (RICO !!) and all
the top Corrupticops were there, getting their
pictures in the paper?
Yikes.
Yale, SmithKline and Connaught could not read their
blood tests to see if LYMErix or ImmuLyme prevented
Lyme disease, but they reported they had 76% and 92%
safe and effective vaccines?
I blew this whistle 5 years ago, and in that amount of
time, not one single newspaper could find anyone among
their staffs with the brains in their head to look at
that?
What the hell else that's obvious are we missing? Oh,
Maybe the speed of acceleration due to gravity and the
World Trade Center collapses? A fire on the 70th
floor melts all the steel beams simultaneously, all
the way down to the basement of a skyscaper, and the
building collapses an hour later? We see that
happening every day?
Yer talking to total nitwits, B. Don't bother with
the New York Times. They're so stupid, they don't
even know how stupid they are. Sort of like Kenneth
Marcus, "Medical Director" of DMHAS and every other
head of every other state agency in Corrupticut, in
addition to the New Haven FBI and the moron neighbor
of Rowland @ Bantam Lake dot US DOJ dot guv.
Corruption means putrification, and that's what we
have, here, as regards the capacity to develop an
original thought. 'The rotting of character as a
result of exhalting oneself. As a class of people,
lawyers take the lead in this reverse moral evolution.
MDs run a close second. Learning that the US
Department of Justice was a complete cartoon was an
even bigger discovery for me than the LYMErix fraud
and, quite frankly, I don't know which I've enjoyed
observing more: 1) The fact that Yale dared to try to
get away with this enormous crime or 2) the fact that
the top cops actually have no nuts.
http://www.actionlyme.org/CUSTOMS.htm
'No brains, no nuts, and the head of the DCF was a
drunken, demented whore, and was asking the House Ways
and Means Committee for more money, in person, which
she intended to defraud Congress of, at the very
moment she was speaking to them.
And then Corrupticut appointed her to the head of the
Fraud Unit.
My friends are at this very moment writing the
screenplay.

The Perils of Pollen and Tricky Ticks
By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr.
Published: June 19, 2006
THERE is a "War of the Worlds" quality to the outbreak
of a new
disease: something foreign appears on these shores
and, ignored or
misdiagnosed at first, spreads quickly, killing a few
earthlings =E2=80"
until someone notices. Then, suddenly, panic spreads
faster than the
threat, and a terrified populace demands that the
government do
something =E2=80" even if, looked at realistically, the
disease is less of
a threat than the flu.

Pollen from plants like ragweed can pose a severe
threat for those
with asthma.
That's the story behind two warm-weather plagues, West
Nile virus
and Lyme disease. But there are differences. West Nile
entered the
country only seven years ago, while the Lyme scare
began in 1975.
Nonetheless, West Nile has hurtled across the
continental United
States, while Lyme is still spreading slowly from the
areas where it
was first diagnosed: New England and Wisconsin.
Another disease that is, for some people, worse in
warm weather =E2=80"
asthma =E2=80" also breaks out around the nation during
spring and summer,
but in unpredictable patterns.
So which of these diseases poses the greatest threat?
Asthma, by far. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
estimates that asthma kills about 4,000 to 5,000
people a year =E2=80" 20
times as many people as West Nile does.
Lyme disease, which can usually be cured with
antibiotics, is almost
never fatal, though there are rare cases in which
victims have
lingering joint pain, neurological problems, fatigue
and heart
problems.
Asthma is not strictly considered a seasonal disease
because it can
be set off by so many things, including dust mites,
cockroaches, pet
fur, mold and smoke, which are often worse indoors in
winter. But it
also has summertime triggers: pollen, ozone and
exercise.
So what will happen this summer? Experts have only one
answer: it
depends on the weather. The C.D.C.'s maps detailing
the spread of
West Nile virus look terrifying. A tiny yellow dot
over New York
City in 1999 became, by 2003, a spatter of red
droplets crossing the
Midwest like a biblical rain of blood. (Yellow means
fewer than 100
cases per million people; red means more than 100.)
West Nile virus peaked that year with 9,862 cases, of
which 264 were
fatal. The hardest-hit states formed a vertical stripe
down the
Great Plains, from North Dakota to Texas.
"That year was the perfect storm," said Dr. Lyle R.
Petersen,
director of the C.D.C.'s division of vector-borne
infectious
diseases. The virus, moving west in birds, hit the
region for the
first time, so no local bird was immune to it. "Heavy
rains in early
spring created a huge population of mosquitoes," he
said. "Then it
was an abnormally hot summer, which produces high
levels of virus."
Contrary to popular wisdom, blue jays and crows are
not important
carriers. West Nile kills them quickly, and they are
fairly big
birds that hang around gardens and roads, so people
notice when they
die.
The most important reservoirs, say Dr. Petersen and
Dr. Andrew
Spielman, professor of tropical public health at the
Harvard School
of Public Health, are humble house sparrows. They
develop high
levels of virus without dying. They also roost
together, so
mosquitoes spread the virus quickly through a flock.
And they nest near houses, which is important, Dr.
Petersen
explained, because the Culex mosquitoes that transfer
the virus from
bird to man lay their eggs in birdbaths and gutters
and may travel
no more than a block in their lives.
Four out of five people who get West Nile virus have
no symptoms.
The other 20 percent have a fever, headache and
fatigue. Sometimes,
they get a rash and swollen glands. Less than 1
percent get severe
complications like neck stiffness, stupor, convulsions
or paralysis.
The best protection is anything that discourages
mosquito bites:
screens, DEET-based repellents and long pants, as well
as draining
standing water in the garden.
Birds that recover become immune, so there may never
be a summer
like 2003 again. But small birds like sparrows only
live a couple of
years, so the population becomes susceptible again.
"We may see very few infections for several years, and
then a huge
outburst," Dr. Petersen said.
Lyme disease moves more slowly because it is spread by
a spirochete
bacterium that lives in the digestive tracts of ticks
that ride on
deer and mice. Between Colonial times and the 1950's,
deer living
near people risked being eaten, so the northern deer
tick, Ixodes
scapularis, was driven into tiny pockets =E2=80" the
Elizabeth Islands off
Massachusetts, Long Point in Ontario and parts of
Wisconsin, Dr.
Spielman said.
But after World War II, with the growth of suburbs
woodsy enough for
deer but too populous for hunting, the disease began
spreading. It
was first recognized in Lyme, Conn., and has since
moved, with the
deer, across suburbia in much of New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.
It is still spreading, and the case count is generally
increasing,
said Dr. Ben Beard, chief of the bacterial zoonoses
branch of the
C=2ED.C. In April, it appeared for the first time in
Chicago suburbs.
A worrisome aspect, Dr. Spielman said, is that
babesiosis, a disease
caused by a parasite in the same ticks, is spreading
along the same
routes as Lyme disease. Babesiosis is much less common
than Lyme,
but in rare cases can kill with malarialike fevers.
The early signs
of Lyme disease mimic the flu =E2=80" headache, fatigue,
chills, fever and
swollen lymph nodes. The classic sign =E2=80" which not
everyone gets =E2=80" is
a faint red "bull's-eye rash" that appears around the
tick bite,
usually 3 to 30 days later, and spreads slowly. A
blood test can
detect the infection.
Prevention is still the best medicine: avoid dry grass
and brush and
piles of dead leaves. Wear long pants tucked into
socks, long-sleeve
shirts and DEET repellent. Remove ticks promptly with
tweezers
because they often feed for 12 to 24 hours before
injecting the
bacteria.
Asthma has been so familiar for so long that it
creates less fear
than it probably should, given the number of people
who die from it
each year.
Predicting which area is at highest risk is impossible
because
pollen counts are local and soar up and down with the
season, the
breeze and the rain. However, the National Allergy
Bureau, part of
the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology, tracks
pollen counts and even offers e-mail alerts.
Seasonal diseases do not mean that people should get
scared, Dr.
Petersen said. "These threats shouldn't alter people's
plans for the
summer =E2=80" they should go out and enjoy themselves.
But take
precautions.
Letters to the Editor:
letters@nytimes.let
Donald Mcneil's article on Lyme disease was way off
base and shows a distinct
lack of information on his part.=C2 While it is true
that for many patients
Lyme is cured if antibiotics are begun in the early
stages, for others it
becomes
an extended nightmare of expensive drugs, visits to
doctors, and terrible,
painful symptoms that leave patients weak, mentally
confused and suffering,
robbing them of their ability to enjoy the hobbies and
activities that make life
worth living.=C2 You don't find support groups across
the country for Asthma or
West Nile virus.=C2 Furthermore, Lyme is carried by
birds, mice and other small
animals, and has already spread across the entire
northern hemisphere.=C2 Lyme
disease is serious, and should not be whitewashed.=C2
