In this conversation, Tro, Paul, and Kris talk about the history of bio terrorism, the findings of Dr. Thacker’s investigative work into the coverup of the lab-leak theory, regulatory capture in the CDC, the findings of Kris’ research into the nature of lyme disease and its historical usage as a bio weapon, experiments conducted on Lone Star Ticks and how these experiments led to chronic health issues resulting from lyme disease, why lyme disease is treated the way that it is, some reasons why doctors often get things SO wrong, and wether or not we can trust the CDC.
