Lyme disease conspiracy on TV

[MichaelTampa]

Saw this posted elsewhere, thought I would share it for those interested. Apparently, TruTV has season two of their show "Conspiracy Theory" starting Friday October 15 at 10PM. This show apparently has the ex-governor Ventura investigate and discuss conspiracy theories. The one being covered on October 15 revolves around Plum Island, an island off New York state. Some say this island was used to develop biological weapons, and this is how lyme disease got spread so much (purposely or accidentally, I don't know how the theory goes). Anyway, for those interested, take note. I've never even heard of TruTV, don't know if I even get it.

I would like to see the show. Thanks for posting. I read the book about this called Lab 257 and the author is very credible. Its all about a government biological weapons lab based on Plum Island and how the cow got out of the barn, sort of speak. The first head of the Plum Island Laboratory was an ex nazi scientist who brought his own tick collection over from Germany after WWII and they used these ticks to study diseases. They infected animals and kept the animals in outdoor pens in the path of migrating birds. Over time the facility degraded and needed repairs but with budget cuts the place got ignored. The chimney that was supposed to be sealed became porous so biological waste that was not supposed to get out, got out. He makes a compelling case that lyme disease exploded like a bomb right across the Long Island Sound and that it probably had something to do with Plum Island. I think it was definitely a factor in the spread of lyme disease.

My husband got me interested in this subject this summer when he took a boat ride to NY and they went past Plum Island. He said there are warning signs everywhere stating it is government property and to stay back. Thanks for the heads up about the show.

Thanks Michael- Interesting! I hope I get this channel.
