The Zika + Wolbachia Connection: What the WHO, CDC, NIH, USAID, Multiple Gov'ts & Billionaires Do NOT Want You to Know

February 4, 2016, lead scientist Dr. Constância Ayres alerted the WHO (a branch of the UN) that previous studies that have investigated the vector competence for Zika virus have neglected other mosquito species such as Culex. She stressed "this issue deserves urgent attention" and "vector control strategies must be directed at all potential vectors".[1]



In March 2016, Dr. Fiona Hunter came away from the Summit on Controlling Aedes aegypti in Maceio, Brazil with this glaring realization: There was "no mosquito infection data to support ZIKV [Zika virus] transmission by Aedes aegypti in Brazil."[2]

Dr. Fiona Hunter said ZIKV belongs to a clade (supported 99%) of neurotropic viruses, including West Nile Virus (WNV) and Saint Louis Encephalitis (SLE) virus, which are typically transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. ZIKV does not belong to a clade of hemorrhagic viruses, such as DENV and yellow fever, which are typically transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.[3]

Dr. Constância Ayres suggested that Cx. quinquefasciatus is being held to a different standard than Ae. aegypti with regard to ZIKV transmission and its potential role as a ZIKV vector has been overlooked. No infected mosquitoes were collected from Yap States and French Polynesia during the outbreaks. They studied vector competence under laboratory conditions and assumed that Aedes species were vectors, although they never fulfilled the textbook criteria.[3]



April 2016, Dr. Robert S. Lanciotti, a highly respected chief of the Diagnostic and Reference Laboratory within the Arbovirus Diseases Branch at CDC, voiced his concerns about a new Zika test the CDC was promoting.

In fact, Dr. Lanciotti was punished (demoted) by the CDC and had to file a whistleblower retaliation claim. Some of his signed statements for the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) included:

"At a minimum, the State Public Health Labs that were already approved for using the Singleplex should have been encouraged to continue with this format ... With respect to detecting the four dengue viruses, the data showed a greater than 100-fold reduced sensitivity of the Trioplex when compared to both the Singleplex and the commercial ABI test."[4]

May 2017, concerns were posted on CDC's Facebook page regarding the landmark findings of several ethical scientists. However, at almost every turn I was derided.[5]

The 2011 paper by Chambers et al. confirmed that between April and June 2009 on the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, semi-field experiments using Wolbachia-infected male Aedes mosquitoes were conducted.[6]

Zika took an ugly turn in French Polynesia and this author highly suspects when some Culex species naturally acquires Wolbachia (via the Wolbachia-infected Aedes releases), that they become better vectors of Zika. In some Culex species, Wolbachia enhances viral replication and transmission. Since Wolbachia is co-inherited with mitochondria, natural selection acting over the bacterium will also affect mitochondria.[7]

In fact, according to Chen, Dong, et al. (2015):

"The findings suggest the potential for Wolbachia bacteria to infect humans ... After Wolbachia genes were detected in the blood collected on day 0 and 4 of fever, levofloxacin was administered for 1 week ... 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."



Chen, Dong, et al. (2015) concluded:

"Horizontal transmission in insects and among helminths occurs via cell–cell invasion, predation and cannibalism, among other possibilities, establishing the potential for horizontal transfer to animals and humans as well. Hence, Wolbachia spp. should be further evaluated as causes of human infection, especially as Wolbachia infection of mosquitoes is increasingly considered to be a tool for interfering with mosquito-borne transmission of human pathogens."

On September 7th, 2017, Theys et al. found gross errors with the genomic Zika sequences (e.g., GAN KU940224). These were submitted to Genbank with a protein annotation that differs significantly from the curated NCBI reference genome. The authors noted: "Complete ZIKV genomes must cover UTRs and should be indicated accordingly when, in fact, limited to the complete CDS (with partial UTRs) or containing large regions of undetermined nucleotides."[8]

March 18, 2016, Elgion Lucio Silva Loreto and Gabriel Luz Wallau published Risks of Wolbachia mosquito control.

Shockingly, the Cartagena Protocol — a United Nations safety regulation for transfer, handling and use of genetically modified organisms, signed by 170 countries — is not applicable to Wolbachia because the bacteria are considered nontransgenic.[9]

This is false. Wolbachia is highly transgenic.



In fact, according to Oxitec's PDF:

"Wolbachia infections have demonstrated enhancement rather than suppression of pathogens ... Wolbachia could introduce over 1,000 new genes into a host with unknown consequences."[10]



Wolbachia is not naturally present in Aedes, to put it into a species that never had it is akin to creating an entirely new species. Some species feed preferentially off the Aedes genus and will therefore become exposed to inordinate amounts of the bacterium. This, in turn, has caused ecosystems to crash with filter feeders — like baleen whales[11] and oysters[12] — showing the first signs of infection.

February 5, 2017, in An Open Letter to Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO:[13]

Dr. Chan states, "In the decades between its discovery in Uganda in 1947 and its appearance in the Americas, only a few human cases of Zika virus were reported."[14]

Further along, Dr. Chan mentions the 2013 - 2014 outbreak in French Polynesia which resulted in "an estimated 30,000 cases".

How does this equal only a few human cases?

WHO ignored the evidence submitted as early as February 2016 by Drs. Ayres, Hunter, Guedes, and Guo et al. that proved Culex are also Zika vectors.[13]



WHO ignored the fact that 15 percent of birds in Uganda had Zika according to the study Arbovirus Survey in Wild Birds in Uganda by Okia, N.O. et al., 1971.[13]



It was shown that the presence of a virus facilitates the invasion of Wolbachia (Jakob F. Strauß and Arndt Telschow, 2015).

This is key to any host (be it any insect such as Culex spp, ticks, birds, bats, oysters, etc, or humans).

"Zika is likely the phage that enables Wolbachia to infect humans with ease." ~ Rose Webster

And there has been a concerted effort by the WHO and CDC (and other public health authorities) to forgo Zika and Wolbachia testing in a timely fashion — which is crucial for detection.

In Denmark, where Culex spp. are rare, men have increased their sperm counts.[15]

In fact, for over two years, the top 50 cities that visit my unpromoted paper devoted to Zika in men (out of 422) CLEARLY support overnight-active Culex spp. as a Zika vector. The striking correlation with where men have increased sperm counts (Denmark) and rare Culex spp. supports Wolbachia as the co-factor.



Yet, Medscape (which many physicians rely on) clearly states:

"Rickettsiae are not evident on blood smear findings and do not stain with most conventional stains ... No rapid laboratory tests are available to diagnose rickettsial diseases early in the course of illness."[16]



This is crucial, since bacterial counts can be 600-fold in the mammalian host — compared to the insect host — within the first week of symptoms. And even intact Wolbachia can be detected in blood.[17]

Sadly, WHO is fully aware of the impact Wolbachia is having on the greater ecosystems in the poorest regions of the world. And has since concocted climate change and similar man-made reasons for our crashing ecosystems.



When WHO endorsed Wolbachia, it was presented as only being a decade in development.[18]



In fact, Wolbachia is responsible for the most widespread pandemics in the animal kingdom (LePage and Bordenstein, 2013).

Wolbachia is not some harmless bacteria, it's a reproductive parasite. And a world renown expert, Dr. Jack Werren, even cautioned in 2007:

"The FREQUENT nature of Wolbachia lateral gene transfers indicates that this parasite has probably produced new functions in some animals. Moreover, the transfer of even a fragment of a Wolbachia genome would be significant if it contained even one functional gene."[19]

In 2003, Wolbachia was shown to grow in human lung cells at 37 C (98.6 F) which is average human body temperature. But it appears hardly anyone in the scientific community took note. And only the Celsius scale was mentioned — no one translated it to Fahrenheit.[20]



April 18, 2018, I published "Dr. Francis M. Jiggins: You Asked, "How Does Wolbachia Do What It Does?"[21]

It became painfully obvious that groupthink and bullying has kept the fact Wolbachia can infect humans a massive global health secret.

October 19, 2016, Dr. Jiggins published "Open questions: how does Wolbachia do what it does?" He wrote:

"As a geneticist, however, I was left frustrated. The bacterium could not be cultured or manipulated, so despite its being studied by hundreds of researchers, only the most rudimentary details were known about how it exerts its effects."

I emailed Dr. Jiggins — and 100s of scientists and doctors have heard from me — that Wolbachia is capable of and likely infecting vertebrates (including humans) with dire consequences.

The WHO (a branch of the UN) endorsed it, lied to the public (stating it had only been worked on for a decade), and willfully ignored that it can infect humans.[22]

Instead the WHO continues to blame human activity, climate change, nonexistent warm oceans, pollution, doctors, or anything other than Wolbachia for grave illnesses in humans and other vertebrate species.

And it was in 2018, that I became aware that "the feasibility of an offshore release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as a vector for infectious diseases ... including the decay rate of BW [Biological Weapons] dates back to the presidency of John F. Kennedy".[23]

This could have been what President Kennedy was trying to warn us about on April 27, 1961.



Want to help? I have two petitions:

To have North Atlantic right whales tested: "Unlikely" is not acceptable. TEST for ZIKV, WNV, SLEV, and Wolbachia.



And one to have humans tested using ONLY the most accurate Zika assays + the broad-range PCR screen for Rickettsiales (Wolbachia genes in blood and any excised tissues e.g. lymph nodes, eyes, liver, etc): Acute Inflammatory Response, Uveal Melanoma, or Lymphoma? R/O Rickettsiales (Wolbachia).
