Declassified documents reveal that the seemingly innocuous island off the coast of Connecticut may have been ground zero for government experiments with weaponized ticks, possibly unleashing Lyme disease upon an unsuspecting public.
In 2008, Kris Newby, after extensive research, released a groundbreaking documentary on Lyme disease. The film sparked widespread discussion about the origins of Lyme disease and the reasons behind its increasing prevalence.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 500,000 individuals contract Lyme disease annually, which translates to around 1,300 new cases each day. The disease notably began to spread during the 1970s in Connecticut, close to Plum Island.
Plum Island, an 840-acre island located just a mile off the north fork at the eastern end of Long Island, is notorious for its secretive government experiments involving bioweapons. Newby highlighted this in a discussion with Tucker Carlson, emphasizing the island’s mysterious and concerning activities.
Bioweapons Testing Facility and Disease Cluster
People living near Plum Island started getting diseases like Lyme arthritis, rickettsiosis, and babesiosis all around the same time. Tucker Carlson discussed this and wondered if these diseases came from government experiments. It took the CDC seven years to start looking into it, which made people even more suspicious.
In the late 1960’s, government bioweapons labs started injecting ticks with exotic diseases. Soon, people nearby began to get those diseases. Now, tick-borne Lyme is endemic. Naturally the government has admitted nothing. pic.twitter.com/B7doR3DFhF

Notorious Nazi Scientist and Plum Island Research
Attorney Michael C. Carroll was granted rare access to Plum Island in 2001 and 2002 and conducted extensive research culminating in his book, ‘Lab 257.’ His investigation included thoroughly reviewing government documents and interviews with scientists, government officials, and journalists. Carroll unveiled that Dr. Erich Traub, a virologist with a notorious past as a Nazi scientist, visited Plum Island at least three times during the 1950s. Following the war, the Nazis. Traub is said to have applied for employment under Operation Paperclip, the secret intelligence program that brought leading Nazi scientists to work in the United States. His purpose on Plum Island was to conduct specialized experiments involving poisoned ticks, raising disturbing questions about the potential for these experiments to have consequences beyond the lab.
Secret Biolab Activities
Further compounding the shadowy history, Glen Yeadon and John Hawkins, in their book “The Nazi Hydra in America,” provide a stark portrayal of Traub’s activities during World War II. Before his involvement with Plum Island, Traub managed a covert Nazi biolab on the island of Riems. There, he spearheaded efforts on the foot-and-mouth disease virus, which was then used in warfare, dispersed from Luftwaffe bombers over cattle and reindeer herds in Russia—a grim example of biological warfare.
Yeadon and Hawkins also document that Traub was involved in experiments with more than 40 deadly viruses. While some of these experiments occurred at his previous lab on Riems, his knowledge and techniques would have influenced his later work on Plum Island. Their claims suggest a direct continuation of Traub’s biowarfare research in a new geopolitical context under the auspices of U.S. scientific research facilities.
