re: Tim Burchett: Bill Gates is behind the massive increase in ticks
Posted by Lou on 5/21/26 at 3:43 pm to Warrior Court
quote:
A scientist suggested using bioengineered ticks to make people allergic to meat and save the planet, while Bill Gates is funding a company that is genetically modifying ticks.
Now, many are connecting the two.
Gates has pushed hard for slashing meat eating in wealthy nations by switching to fake synthetic beef, while a separate bioethicist floated engineering human meat intolerance as a climate fix.
However, experts say claims tying this directly to Gates releasing genetically modified ticks, are unproven conspiracy theories, even though real Alpha-gal (AGS) cases from Lone Star tick bites have exploded in the US.
Matthew Lau, a New York University bioethicist is the one who made the comments:
“We can use human engineering to make it the case that we're intolerant to certain kinds of meat to certain kinds of bovine proteins. And there's actually analogs of this in life. There’s this thing called the Lone Star tick, where if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat, I can sort of describe the mechanism. So, that's something that we can do through human engineering.”
His idea appeared in academic circles around 2012, and was talked about publicly in 2016.
Then in 2021, Gates said rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef to cut methane emissions from cattle, he said:
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference eventually. That green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the behavior of people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.”
He has invested in companies like Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, and Upside Foods, but he said poorer countries can keep traditional livestock. 450,000 Americans have Alpha-gal syndrome caused by tick bites.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has provided multiple grants to support research on genetically engineered cattle ticks, specifically the Asian blue tick, to control populations that harm livestock, which is what they say it does.
The claim is that cattle ticks, specifically the Asian food tick, can cause Alpha-gal syndrome If they bite.
However, AGS is primarily associated with bites from the Lone Star tick in the U.S and certain other tick species, while Asian blue ticks primarily feed on cattle, there is evidence that they can cause AGS in humans if bit, but no definitive studies have been published connecting the two.
In 2021, the Gates Foundation awarded 1.28 million dollars to a UK-based biotech firm for a 14-month study to adapt the friendly genetic technology used on mosquitoes and crop pests for the Asian blue tick. In 2023, an additional 4.8 million dollar grant was given to the company to advance development.
The Gates Foundation has also funded a 2015 meeting on cattle tick vaccines and over 70 million dollars in grants to another company for tick-borne disease research in Africa.

No one knows how much time they have. It's a finite amount that only decreases with every passing moment. If you lose all your money, you could make it back many times over, and somewhat quickly given the circumstance. To me, Health is more important than time or money. Without it -- all the time and money in the world mean little.

re: Question for OT Parents
Posted by Lou on 5/21/26 at 1:41 pm to SaintlyTiger88
Thank you for wanting to make a family. People are shaped more by the parenting they get at home from birth through adolescence than any other factor. I'm grateful you have chosen to do that and take it seriously.
Logically - Get settled into a job or career path, pay off debt, and save up a few months worth cash. However...
The problems with parenthood often aren't centralized around money or the lack of it. It has more to do with parenting styles of the mother and father -- and how those mesh with the advice and expectations of friends and family. I would spend as much time talking to each other about how you plan to raise the child. Feeding, diapers, sleeping, visits to and visits from, vacations -- everything. Outside activities, alone time, daycare. Get all of those arguments out of the way before you bring the baby home from the hospital. There will be plenty more heartaches to fight through. But it will also warm your heart more than you thought anything in this world could.

Coincidentally this is why modern progressive leftists defend and march for Hamas, Iran and Muslims in general.

Would you take a breathalyzer test if it was optional ?
I created a custom mode on my phone. It blocks all notifications for calls but not text messages. Still get the call, and still goes to voicemail, but doesn't interrupt my phone with whatever I am doing. You can also set the default ringtone as silent -- then assign a ringtone to the contacts who you do want to hear from.

That looks like Sheikra from Busch Gardens Tampa, but taller, longer, and faster. That would be a great ride, but I now fall under the group "old people with back problems" so I won't be able to prove it.

Actually, 16 is the age of consent in Indiana according to Wikipedia. I'm not sure how this was a crime, given that she obviously wasn't the girl's teacher.
