Yes. The bacterium is ancient and likely jumped around continents. The disease recognition happened largely by chance due to a cluster of cases, like hantavirus later on.
Genomic insights into the ancient spread of Lyme disease across North America - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Lyme disease, spread by ticks infected with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, was first described in the 1970s, but its origins are obscure. Genomics of North American ticks points to an origin pre-d...

Judging from his recent podcast interviews, Marty Makary is an anti-vaxxer and does not understand the basics of drug development.

Marty Makary also doesn't seem to understand the basics of drug development.
He cannot comprehend (much less explain) why a drug company would file multiple patents on the same drug. Here's an example: You need separate patents on the drug itself and methods of manufacturing it.

In 2 recent interviews, Marty Makary says he wants to cure deafness, blindness, and cancer.
In those same interviews, he demonizes birth doses of HepB vaccine and antibiotic eye ointment, which prevent cancer and blindness, respectively.
RFK Jr hates MMRV, which prevents 4 causes of deafness!

And for those who think "oh but senior medical managers must understand science, and where they don't they will find advisors": that specific belief is why they were allowed to drop the ball on COVID, and how it became a pandemic.
An MD is not a PhD, nor a guarantee of self-awareness or humility.

A reminder that this specific screwup has now killed ~25 million people.
A world that allows an influential, entitled, ignorant man to just shout down a smarter and more knowledgeable woman 👉can literally kill you.👈

🧵 Here we go, exactly as predicted. Institutional medicine is going to roll right over for all of this, because science was discarded and replaced with "Evidence Based Medicine" heuristics that lock experts out of the room, and let medicine's management class cosplay as scientists.

I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.
It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.

I saw film in early 2024 that made clear that RFK Jr‘s longterm goal was end of vaccination, didn’t guess then he’d get power to try to do that, step by step, since doing it in one fell swoop is hard.

I strongly recommend fine documentary “A Shot in the Arm” on vaccine hesitancy & its (often well-paid) promoters, incl RFK, Jr.
www.pbs.org/video/shot-i...
Watch whole thing, but especially:
34:32-onward RFK, Jr
43:45-50:27 Samoa deaths: he denies/evades involvement, video records contradict.

Thanks for this thorough and substantive rebuttal. As a data scientist, suggest citing "hazard ratio" rather than "rate": "Children who received MMR vaccine had an autism [hazard ratio] of 0.93 compared to unvaccinated children" and "autism [hazard ratio] was 0.93 per milligram of aluminum".

Not your level of education nor social status. Black women in the U.S have 4-5x higher maternal mortality compared to any other racial group. The systemic bias &racism baked into the system ensures that this dark trend continues. As health professionals we must continue to call this out & do better
