In response to a question on the topic posed by ZeroHedge reporter Liam Cosgrove,HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.recently addressed the astronomical increase in alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne infection that causes potentially life-threatening allergic reactions to red meat:
“Last week, I went to New Hampshire… to address this explosion of alpha-gal, and we take it very seriously. One of the epicenters isMartha’s Vineyard where 50% of the adult population is now affected.It is really a devastating disease.You can’t eat red meat for the rest of your life.We are looking at medications that can serve as both prophylactics and alsopotentially cures for it.We’re funding those studies nowand we’re working with the companies that are making those. We’ve also launched amajor effort on tick controlthrough a number of different strategies that address deer populations… Three ticks that are causing these, most of the tick-borne diseases, all breed on deer. And we’re looking at strategies for eliminating their breeding capacity.”
Over the last month, a groundswell of anecdotal accounts and videos from farmers and ranchers across the country have flooded social media, depicting massive tick infestations on their properties.
Apart from how to effectively treat alpha-gal syndrome for those infected, another questioning hanging in the air, as posed by Cosgrove but unaddressed by Kennedy, is whether thedocumented 5,566% increase in Alpha-Gal over the past ten yearsis an organic phenomenon or, like COVID, a man-made one.
