You may recall an article by a couple of bioethics professors that appeared a few months back in a science journal and caused more than a minor kerfuffle for proposing that it might be beneficial to the planet to spread lone star ticks around. Why? Because these ticks spread what is called the alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). It takes its name from galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, a sugar present in the meat of most mammals. The immune systems of tick-bite victims can develop allergic antibodies to the meat-sugar and can then have a severe allergic reaction when they eat red meat (beef, pork, lamb).

The two “ethicists,” Western Michigan University professors Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, published their proposal, entitled“Beneficial Bloodsucking,”in the October 2025 issue of the journalBioethics. “Herein, we argue that if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of tickborne AGS are also morally impermissible,” say the dangerous duo. They continue: “It is presently feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If this practice can be applied to ticks carrying AGS, then promoting the proliferation of tickborne AGS is morally obligatory.” They’ve drunk the climate cult Kool-Aid. Preventing the spread of this plague is “morally impermissible,” and promoting its proliferation is “morally obligatory,” because reducing meat consumption will supposedly reduce our carbon footprint, which will supposedly reduce global warming. When their article caused a public backlash, the authors hid behind the excuse that it was merely a philosophical “thought experiment.”
However, the lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) and the AGS meat allergy they cause are not mere thought experiments; they arevery real. They have rapidly spread to 27 states, from Texas to Maine. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as many as450,000 Americansmay be affected. But some experts say the CDC number is“almost certainly an undercount”because most health providers are not familiar with the disease, its symptoms, and the testing protocols for it.
In recent days and weeks, health authorities inMassachusetts,Virginia,New York,Delaware,Missouri, andOhiohave alerted the public to the emerging threat. “A once-rare allergy that can cause severe reactions hours after eating red meat is dramatically rising across the United States,” according to researchers at VCU Health and Virginia Commonwealth University. “The condition, known as alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), is typically linked to bites from the lone star tick and is increasingly recognized as a growing health concern in many regions of the country,” reports VCU Health, while Vinay Jahagirdar, M.D., a gastroenterology fellow at VCU, says that “alpha-gal syndrome is unlike any other food allergy we treat.”
So, in light of the extreme “morally obligatory” mindset of many climate cultists, the rapid and curious spread of the lone star tick threat, and the decade-long propaganda campaign against meat, can we spare people from the “conspiracy theorist” label for suspecting that this new pestilence might have been engineered? That it might have come from the same type of gain-of-function research that erupted from the Wuhan Lab to infect the world? The jet-setting billionaire globalists of Davos and their Beijing comrades dine on (and invest in) luxury wagyu and Kobe beef($200-$500 per pound, and evenas high as $1,000) while lecturing us about the need to drastically cutourmeat intake. We’re thinking, for example, of World Economic Forum heavyweights such asMark Zuckerberg,Andrew Forrest,Oliver Bäte, andBill Gates, to name but a few.
