It came from Lab 257

Most of you know that a family member, was diagnosed with Lyme disease last Fall. I expect that with the exception of my office partner, most of you and I include myself until recently, are only vaguely aware of this disease. I’ve recently started poking about following the trail of rumors that the origins of Lyme is linked to some very rather dubious research by the Government in the 1950′s. The history of the emergence of the disease reads like an X-Files case. Some of the doctors we have worked with recently are also very cagey about the subject, one refusing to admit that they are treating the disease in any other way than that suggested under official guidelines.
This story has it all, Secret Government Labs, Ex-Nazi Germ warfare Scientists, Project ‘Paperclip’, and deliberate leakages of modified micro-organisms into the environment. The circumstantial evidence for some of the theories is pretty compelling, not to mention the fact that the disease gets it’s name from an area close to Plum Island in Mass. where the earliest cases were reported. The island is the home of a Government facility listed as a ‘USDA Animal Disease Research Center’ that has a very interesting past.
So, whip out the DEET spray this summer and stay out of the long grass. The incidence of Lyme infections is growing rapidly right across the US.
If you fancy a good conspiracy theory that’s close to home start here:
