This is a direct follow-up to: Part One.

The story we uncovered in Part One didn't start in the 1970s with the "discovery" of Lyme. It stretches back over a century. The work of relentless researchers like Tom Grier and Dr. Alan B. MacDonald proves that the medical establishment has willfully ignored the reality of neurospirochetosis for generations.

Now, the Spike Protein is running the same playbook: using the endothelium as a highway to disseminate and cause multi-system illness, only to be met with the same denial and gaslighting.

This isn't a new pattern. It's a 100-year-old pattern repeating in real-time.


đź’ˇ TRUTH BOMB: The playbook for denying complex, persistent illness is not 40 years old. It is over a century old. The same script used against Lyme patients today was used against syphilis patients in the early 1900s. History doesn't just rhyme; it repeats.

The Century-Old Endothelial Invasion Blueprint

Just like the Lyme Disease pathogen, the Spike Protein invades organs through the same doorway: the endothelium.

We can learn everything about the Spike Protein by studying Lyme Disease. The similarities aren't just coincidental—they're mechanistic. Let's start with the entry points:

PathogenEntry PointPrimary Invasion Method
Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme)Tick bite → skinEndothelial Transmigration
Spike ProteinRespiratory tract → bloodstreamEndothelial Transmigration

The invasion blueprint is identical. Once inside, both pathogens use the same vascular highways to spread throughout your body.

The Dissemination Pathway: A Proven Playbook

Before we continue, let's be clear: when I reference "Spike Protein," I'm talking about the pathogenic entity itself—whether it arrives via SARS-CoV-2 infection or other delivery methods. The source matters less than the mechanism.

Here's what happens once either pathogen enters your system:

  1. The spirochete (Spike Protein) may be eliminated by host defenses (if you're lucky)
  2. The spirochete (Spike Protein) may remain localized, causing initial symptoms (skin rash for Lyme, respiratory distress for Spike)
  3. Within days to weeks, the spirochete (Spike Protein) disseminates through blood and lymphatics

After entering circulation, both show distinct tropism for:

  • Skin (Lyme rashes) vs. Vascular endothelium (Spike Protein microclots)
  • Heart (Lyme carditis) vs. Heart (Spike Protein myocarditis)
  • Central Nervous System (Lyme neuroborreliosis) vs. Brain (Spike Protein neuroinflammation)
  • Joints (Lyme arthritis) vs. Joints (Spike Protein autoimmune arthritis)

The clinical progression mirrors perfectly:

Lyme Disease Stages:

  1. Early localized (skin)
  2. Early disseminated (multiple systems)
  3. Chronic disseminated (persistent multi-organ)

Spike Protein Disease Stages:

  1. Acute infection (respiratory)
  2. SPED - Multi-system inflammation
  3. Long COVID/Chronic complications

🔬 SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT: The dissemination occurs through identical endothelial mechanics. Both pathogens exploit plasma fibronectin to stabilize their bond with endothelial cells under blood flow shear stress.

Cardiac Manifestations: Mirror Images

Lyme Carditis:

  • Occurs in ~8% of patients, median 21 days post-infection
  • AV block, myopericarditis, conduction disturbances
  • A direct result of spirochetal invasion of cardiac tissue
  • Often dismissed as "rare" with a "good prognosis"

Source: Yeung & Baranchuk, J Am Coll Cardiol 2019

Spike Protein Carditis:

  • Chest pain, ECG abnormalities, arrhythmias
  • Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
  • Chronic perimyocarditis with ventricular failure
  • Arterial wall inflammation, microthrombosis
  • A direct result of Spike Protein endothelial injury and inflammation
  • Often dismissed as "anxiety" or "post-viral syndrome"

⚠️ HISTORICAL RED FLAG: The minimization of cardiac and neurological involvement is a hallmark of the spirochetal denial playbook. What was called "hysteria" or "hypochondria" in syphilis and Lyme patients is now called "Long COVID anxiety" or "post-vaccine stress." The script is unchanged.

The Stealth Arsenal: Lessons from a Persistent Pathogen

Tom Grier's work tirelessly highlighted Borrelia's advanced evasion tactics, which we now see reflected in Spike Protein pathology:

Borrelia's Bag of Tricks (per Grier/MacDonald):

  • Shape-shifting into cystic and granular forms (documented by MacDonald)
  • Biofilm formation creating treatment-resistant colonies
  • CNS Persistence evidenced by live spirochetes in MS and Alzheimer's brains at autopsy
  • Synergy with co-infections requiring complex, multi-target therapy

Source: Int J Mol Sci 2023

Spike Protein's Evasion Tactics (a modern echo):

  • Persistence in tissue reservoirs for months post-infection/vaccination
  • Mitochondrial sabotage and epigenetic reprogramming
  • Autoimmune molecular mimicry
  • Resistance to simple mono-therapies

The medical establishment's response to both? Deny the complexity, attack those who treat it, and gaslight the patients.


The 100-Year Denial Playbook: From Syphilis to SPED

They've Been Lying About Spirochetes Since Before We Were Born

Dr. Alan B. MacDonald's forensic pathology work provides the smoking gun: spirochetes have been observed in the brains of neurodegenerative patients for over a hundred years. The evidence was always there, meticulously erased from textbooks and dismissed as "contamination."

His research, building on a century of ignored findings, demonstrates that the denial is not a bug in the system; it is a feature.

The corruption is foundational. Willy Burgdorfer, Ph.D., the namesake of the bacterium, admitted the quiet part out loud:

"Serology or serology plus has to be started from scratch with people that don't know beforehand the results of their research, just because they have to get the money."

The system is not designed to find the truth about persistent infection. It is designed to produce commercially viable, simple narratives.

The Transmission Cover-Up: Beyond the Official Story

Tom Grier's investigations into the microbiology of Borrelia challenged the simplistic "tick bite" narrative. The evidence for broader transmission has been documented for decades but systematically suppressed:

The Unacknowledged Evidence:

  • Congenital transmission documented in medical literature for decades
  • Multiple arthropod vectors beyond just Ixodes ticks
  • Presence in human fluids suggesting potential for other routes of transmission

The medical establishment's insistence on a narrow transmission window for Lyme created a perfect model for the later denial of aerosol and asymptomatic spread of SARS-CoV-2. The playbook was already written.

The Co-infection Reality: Grier's Warnings Ignored

Tom Grier's work consistently emphasized that Lyme disease is rarely a monoinfection. He detailed the complex interplay with pathogens like B. miyamotoi, and how other infections like Bartonella and Babesia create a much more severe, complex illness.

This is the critical lesson he spent his career teaching: treating one pathogen in a polymicrobial illness is a recipe for failure. This is precisely what we see with Long COVID and Spike Protein injuries, where reactivation of latent viruses (EBV, HSV) and bacterial imbalances are the norm, not the exception.

The Hidden Reservoir: A Nod to Grier's Tenacity

Tom Grier's writing often highlighted the sheer tenacity and unpredictability of Borrelia. He discussed its ability to hide in biofilms, its pleomorphic forms, and its presence in unexpected tissues.

This understanding of pathogen persistence—of an enemy that does not play by the textbook rules—is his legacy. It is the exact mindset required to understand why the Spike Protein does not simply "clear" from the body, but can persist and cause ongoing damage, much like the spirochetes he dedicated his life to studying.

Identical Medical Persecution Patterns

The censorship playbook used against COVID dissenting physicians was perfected on Lyme doctors for decades. Researchers like Alan MacDonald faced immense resistance for publishing findings that challenged the dominant paradigm. Clinicians who treated chronic Lyme based on patient symptoms and complex testing risked their medical licenses.

The pattern is unmistakable and pre-dates COVID by generations:

  1. Deny complexity ("It's all in your head")
  2. Attack the messengers (license threats, character assassination)
  3. Gaslight the victims ("medically unexplained symptoms")
  4. Protect the narrative at all costs

The Convergence: A Century in the Making

The intersections between these two systematically denied conditions are not coincidental. They are the result of the same flawed model of medicine confronting a complex biological reality.

COVID/Spike Protein pathology is confirming what Grier and MacDonald argued for years: that persistent, stealth pathogens can cause a vast spectrum of chronic illness that rigid medical bureaucracies are incapable of diagnosing or treating.

The fraudulent handling has been identical across both diseases:

AspectLyme Disease (100-year history)Spike Protein Injuries (Today)
Medical EstablishmentDenial of chronic infectionDenial of persistence and injury
Research FundingDirected away from persistenceCensored and suppressed
Patient ExperienceDismissed as psychiatricDismissed as anxiety/post-viral
Treatment ApproachPunished for complexityRestricted to ineffective monotherapy

🎯 THE GRIER/MACDONALD BOTTOM LINE: The model of infectious disease as an acute, easily-treated event is a dangerous fantasy. Tom Grier and Alan MacDonald's work stands as a monumental warning: we must understand persistence, complexity, and immune evasion, or we will continue to fail millions.

The Way Forward: Medical Sovereignty

The path has already been carved out by pioneers like Grier and MacDonald and the patients who followed them. Healing requires operating outside the failed medical machine.

The solution pathway, learned from decades of Lyme advocacy:

  1. Find independent clinicians who understand complex chronic illness
  2. Educate yourself beyond mainstream medical narratives
  3. Trust clinical evidence over restrictive, politicized guidelines
  4. Build patient communities for knowledge sharing and support
  5. Pursue multi-system, personalized approaches that address the root causes of persistence and inflammation

The pattern is clear: when the system is designed to fail you, you must build your own path to healing, just as the Lyme community had to.

There Is Hope in the Fight Itself

While the systematic denial is staggering, there is profound hope in the continuity of this fight. The work of Tom Grier and Alan MacDonald provides not just a warning, but a roadmap. They proved that the truth exists, even when it is suppressed, and that dedicated individuals can uncover it.

The answers are being advanced by:

  • Independent physicians using the principles of complex chronic illness management
  • Empowered patients applying the hard-won lessons from the Lyme wars
  • Courageous researchers who, like Grier and MacDonald, prioritize truth over funding
  • Clinical innovators developing the sophisticated, multi-pronged protocols that these conditions demand

What you can do right now, informed by a century of this struggle:

  1. Recognize the historical pattern - This is not your fault, and you are not crazy. You are facing a well-established systemic failure
  2. Find your allies - Seek out doctors and communities who operate on the principles Grier and MacDonald fought for
  3. Educate yourself deeply - Understand the science of persistence, endothelial dysfunction, and immune evasion
  4. Trust your body's signals - You are the ultimate authority on your lived experience
  5. Become unmanageable - Do not accept dismissal. The legacy of this century-long fight is that patient perseverance is the most powerful force for change

The medical establishment has failed us on both fronts. But we don't need their permission to heal, and we can stand on the shoulders of giants like Tom Grier and Alan MacDonald who showed us the way.

✨ THE FINAL, UNLEARNED LESSON: They have been telling patients with persistent spirochetal illness that they are wrong for over 100 years. They are now telling Spike Protein injury patients the same thing. Tom Grier and Alan MacDonald dedicated their lives to proving this a lie. Honor their legacy by refusing to believe it. The path to healing is difficult, but it is real, and it is paved with the truth they fought to uncover.
