Pentagon may be responsible for Lyme disease spread due to release of radioactive ticks
Dr Robert Mallow claims that declassified documents reveal that the US military released 282,800 radioactive “lone star” ticks in Virginia between 1966 and 1969, triggering the Lyme disease epidemic and a 40-year cover-up of the truth.
The documents state that the ticks were marked with carbon-14 and released along bird migration routes. Before this, these ticks were not found north of the Mason-Dixon line. Their appearance on Long Island is linked to these military experiments. Operation Mongoose in 1962 also involved dropping infected ticks on Cuban sugar plantation workers, which led to illness among CIA agents and their families. Experiments on Plum Island overseen by the US Army Chemical Corps also showed lapses in safety measures.
This raises the possibility that Lyme disease has an artificial origin, with the widespread outbreak and cover-up tied to military testing, potentially sparking new investigations and public outcry.
