"... a few years ago, a document I found on the US National Institute of Health's website which listed Lyme as one of the pathogens studied in Fort Detrick, (the premier biowarfare lab in the US), the NIH quickly announced it was a "printing error" and removed the words Lyme disease from the page.
However, further leaks have resulted in similar information being accidentally released again and again. For example, Lyme was listed as one of the biowar agents to be studied in the new high-containment lab in San Antonio, Texas, in a report that was picked up by the Associated Press (3). After being publicised over the internet by Lyme disease patient campaigners, the link to the article was summarily removed by MSNBC; however, various archived copies survive.

A document on the website of Colorado State University revealed that Lyme was being studied in a top-security BSL-3 lab there. (4) Biosafety Level 3 is used for some of the most dangerous pathogens known, which additionally pose a major biowarfare hazard because of transmission by the airborne route. It is only one step down from BSL-4, the highest level of containment, reserved for those agents for which there is no known vaccine or treatment.

Lyme disease in nature is usually acquired by tick-bite and is not considered transmissible by the airborne route. But weaponisation usually involves creating fine-milled, aerosolisable particles - and techniques for lyophilisation, or freeze-drying of borrelia in fine particles - were developed decades ago.

In 2004, the UK delegation to an international conference on preventing biological weapons proliferation boasted of the work on rapid detection of vector-borne agents, including Lyme disease, being carried out at Porton Down, Britain's top biowar research establishment (5), whilst the British government simultaneously lied to Parliament, a spokesman informing the delegates that Lyme was a rare disease, and that therefore no research was currently being done on it. And a recent handbook on civil defence, written by top military medical scientists, refers to Lyme as one of nine agents likely to be used by bioterrorists.(6)
These are just a few examples of the many pieces of information that have emerged in recent years which, coupled with the fantastically disproportionate number of Lyme scientists who just "happen" to be core members of the biowarfare research establishment (for example, Mark Klempner and Alan Barbour, both of whom head biowar mega-labs built in the aftermath of 9-11), demonstrate that Lyme disease is an issue of extreme sensitivity to the military.
