Response to Dr. Theresa Tam: You Could NOT Answer ONE Simple Question?!

On March 1st, 2018, I decided to write the following response to Canada's Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam (I copied many public health departments on it too): Dear Dr. Theresa Tam, BMBS (UK), FRCPC, Canada's Chief Public Health Officer, Re: I hope that the information I have provided is helpful in addressing your concerns. I'm afraid that you completely ignored my question: If Wolbachia-infected Aedes are going to be released, then why can't we test vertebrates for Wolbachia infections? And it must be a broad-range PCR screen for infection by Rickettsiales (Wolbachia genes detected in blood). NOTE: Not skin snips. For a while, I took you at your word that "PHAC will continue to review the scientific literature and conduct research activities in order to provide Canadians with the most up-to-date information on mosquito-borne diseases". However, according to this Feb. 2nd, 2018 post: https://www.watercanada.net/canada-has-ended-the-national-wetland-conservation-fund "Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) announced that it has cancelled the National Wetland Conservation Fund (NWCF)." This doesn't make sense to me (nor from a mosquito-borne disease point of view) since the 2017 WWF-Canada's report revealed a 69 percent decline in grassland birds, a 51 percent drop in insectivores, and a 43 percent decline in shorebirds — even though birds of prey increased. Source of WWF facts: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/wwf-living-planet-index-1.4288173 Surely, you must know that West Nile virus spread across the continent in just five years. In October 1999, the CDC reported an outbreak of human arboviral encephalitis in New York City, beginning in late August. At the same time, there was an increase in avian mortality including wild crows and exotic birds at the Bronx Zoo. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2094770 And I already included Dr. Fiona Hunter's reminder that Zika is more related to West Nile virus and Culex-associated viruses than what the public has been told. Here are key study points (also, see screenshots) that support the need for this thorough test to be conducted on Canadians now. A 2011 paper by Judith A. Ferry states: "Primary uveal tract lymphoma is typically a low-grade B-cell lymphoma ... involvement is usually unilateral, but occasionally both eyes are involved ... Enucleation [surgical removal] of the eye occasionally [often?] has been performed because of a clinical impression of uveal melanoma ..." Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9781416045793100026 "Sometimes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL or DLBL) develops in people who have had a low-grade (slow-growing) lymphoma in the past." Source: https://www.lymphomas.org.uk/about-lymphoma/types/non-Hodgkin-lymphoma/diffuse-large-b-cell-lymphoma This would definitely include chronic lymphocytic leukemia — which the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc now suffers from — uveal melanoma, and other types of B-cell (slow-growing) lymphomas. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell type (the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), is the type identified in this 2015 publication by Chen, Dong, et al., Detection of Wolbachia genes in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: http://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-743X(14)00040-8/fulltext This paper SHOULD be making the rounds in every oncology department in Canada (and elsewhere). Key Points: 1) The findings suggest the potential for Wolbachia bacteria to infect humans [without the nematode]. 2) The 16S rRNA and fbpA gene sequences amplified from the patient's blood on days 0 and 4 were identical and clustered with those of supergroup B members of the genus Wolbachia. Fact: Supergroup B includes Wolbachia pipientis, the type MosquitoMate is using in 20 U.S. just south of our Canadian border (beside New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario). Of course mosquitoes do not respect boundaries and wind / water currents carry eggs and larvae to neighboring countries. Eggs and larvae also contain Wolbachia. 3) After Wolbachia genes were detected, levofloxacin was administered for one week. Over the next seven days, his temperature gradually returned to normal. During that week, jaundice increased and pancytopenia gradually developed. Bone marrow aspirate revealed 10% large atypical cells with haemophagocytosis that was diagnosed as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell type (aka DLBCL or DLBL). 4) The patient was transferred to the Haematology Department for three cycles of R-CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisolone). Incredibly, a follow-up bone marrow aspirate and flow cytometry two weeks later showed no malignant cells. PET-CT (positron emission tomography–computed tomography) revealed no residual tumour, and the patient's pancytopenia and liver function abnormalities resolved. 5) The patient was then considered to have had a complete remission. No Wolbachia genes were amplified from blood obtained at the patient's hospital discharge. Worth repeating: The patient had a complete remission. For more, my recent paper includes citations: http://www.infobarrel.com/The_Link_Between_Uveal_Melanoma_Non-Hodgkins_B-Cell_Lymphoma_and_Wolbachia My most recent video PSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xunY_h82uw There are treatment options for Wolbachia infections with heavy-duty antibiotics such as: azithromycin, doxycycline, minocycline, or rifampicin. Some of these, I believe, can even be taken in combination. I have reached out to some law firms and there is a case for these patients should they seek legal recourse. Bottom Line: When I began my journey in healthcare, I was told 1-in-8 people will get cancer. Later, it became 1-in-5. Now, we are told 1/2 of us will get cancer. Watching this crime against humanity proceed is truly sickening. Are we supposed to believe these Wolbachia-infected Aedes remain airborne forever and never die? Or that it will remain within U.S. borders? Did you know that Wolbachia can be grown in human lung tissue at 37 degrees C? I looked into your credentials, Dr. Tam. I would imagine your education in epidemiology would cover what happens to Wolbachia when the mosquitoes, eggs, and larvae die. Something else can easily acquire and spread it. There is even the potential for this bacteria to become airborne and cause disease. Remember, it can be grown in human lung cells at 37 degrees C. Is this what might cause Guillain-Barré syndrome? It's clear that by spreading this cancer-causing bacteria and reproductive parasite that the CDC hopes to cash in a $15 billion dollar "reproductive health market". About four million Canadians per year visit Florida, many stay for months. Perhaps you forgot that Canadians also leave the country and return? Disgusted and disappointed, R. Webster My latest petition update publicizes your response to me: https://www.change.org/p/oncologists-and-pathologists-uveal-melanoma-or-lymphoma-r-o-rickettsiales-wolbachia/u/22433510 Note to Petition Supporters . . . The screenshots I included are also shown in my PSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xunY_h82uw My Thoughts . . . I don't think that gov't officials (employed to protect human health) care one bit about this. They are completely ignoring evidence that this cancer-causing bacteria (which is also a reproductive parasite) is infecting vertebrates — which includes humans, of course. I have a strong feeling that those infected (and their loved ones) will need to seek a court order to demand the appropriate testing. As for North Atlantic right whales? If Wolbachia is infecting them (and there have been zero calves spotted), they have only a few years left (not until 2040, as some marine "experts" predict). Wish I had better news for you all. I'll be in touch, Rose Authors note: I cannot use italics or hyperlink on petition updates. Ergo, links are not hidden and I used CAPS for emphasis. How your signature helps: each time a supporter signs our petition, an email is automatically sent directly to those being petitioned (governments, companies and individuals). When hundreds or even thousands of emails arrive in their inboxes, our message is impossible to ignore.
