On the link between Lyme disease and bioweapons (2019)
I&#x27;m confused by the number of upvotes this article has. It&#x27;s a mishmash of innuendos and barely-related facts. I thought Lithub was a better website than this.<p>As far as I can tell, the narrative of this article is &quot;the CIA did some real-world tests of how harmless bacterial spores propagate in a real-world environment; they also did closed-lab tests of how harmful bacterial droplets for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever propagate in a controlled environment among monkeys; a botched chemical weapons experiment ended US offensive chemical and bio warfare research; then a specific researcher had some family troubles, the end.&quot; It appears to be structured to imply that an outbreak of tick-born illnesses in Long Island in 1968 is <i>not a coincidence</i>.<p>Maybe the full book is a different story, but this seems like pretty bad conspiracy theoretic stringing together of tangential things.
