U.S. Labs Create Tick Colonies To Study Foreign Highly Pathogenic Disease With 30% Mortality
November 29th, 2025Via: The Highwire:
The White Coat Waste Project uncovered 10 existing USDA contracts to work on mRNA vaccines, including one that is studying Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), a highly pathogenic tick-borne disease with a 10-40% case fatality rate. The research grant is given to the Agricultural Research Service in Manhattan, Kansas, in combination with researchers at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), which was formerly on Plum Island, where researchers were studying Lyme disease near Lyme, Connecticut, where the first outbreak occurred.
The research involves multiple partner facilities, including UC Davis and Texas Tech, where tick colonies have been established after they have procured the ticks from African countries where the disease is endemic. CCHF has never been found in the United States – it is endemic to Africa, Asia, and some European countries, including southern Russia.

The research is analyzing the transmission of the tick-borne illness in cattle, sheep, and goats. They are conducting the research in Manhattan, Kansas, Lubbock, Texas, and Davis, California – three livestock and dairy agricultural hubs in the United States. The virus can be transmitted to livestock or humans from infected ticks and can be transmitted from human to human. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the mortality rate to be 30% with death occurring in the second week of infection.
“It seems as if many infected ticks are being shipped to Texas Tech, Kansas, and UC Davis, needlessly putting these centers for livestock at risk for a horrible disease that is not a threat at this time,” said Kris Newby, Stanford Science Writer and Senior Producer of the documentary “Under Our Skin.”
Newby said when the Plum Island facility moved to Manhattan, Kansas, she questioned why it would be transferred there. “It just makes no sense to have it in the middle of our livestock industry,” she said.
Hmmm, more shenanigans by our “masters”. If everyone realised what they peddled is BS and refused to cooperate it would go the way of the Dodo. Try this for size … https://drsambailey.com/resources/videos/germ-theory/the-lyme-disease-lie/ and
