A.W. Finnegan, Lyme Disease Struggle, Dr. Eric Traub Research
Dr. Eric Traub, Rockefeller Institute, Viral Reactivation Experiments
Dr. Eric Traub's early career involved studying central nervous system viruses at the Rockefeller Institute under Richard Shope. He discovered how to reactivate dormant viruses in mice, specifically the Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM) virus, leading to slow wasting diseases and increased cancer rates. This research suggests that certain antigens can disable the immune system, mirroring the effects of modern chronic illnesses and vaccine-induced viral reactivation.
Plum Island, Lyme Disease and Biological Warfare
The discussion explores the theory that Lyme disease is a man-made biological weapon that escaped from the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. Brisson links the facility to Operation Paperclip scientist Eric Traub and notes the proximity of Lyme, Connecticut, to the lab. He suggests that virulent strains of Borrelia and the West Nile virus may have been engineered for horizontal gene transfer before being released into the environment.
