A. W. Finnegan | Sleeper Agent: Weaponized Ticks, Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, & Biological Warfare
Lyme Disease Cover-up, Genetic Engineering, Animal Passaging
The government is accused of tracking Lyme disease for 25 years before officially acknowledging it in 1975 to obscure its biological warfare origins. Finnegan explains that "animal passaging" was the primary method for mutating pathogens before modern genetic engineering, allowing scientists to increase the neurotropic qualities of viruses. This method makes it easy for officials to claim a lab-created disease originated in nature.
