U.S. STRIKES MEDICAL FRAUD

June 23, 2026 takedown announcement shakes medical fraudsters to the core

James Lyons-Weiler, PhD

June 23, 2026 takedown: 455 defendants, 90 licensed medical professionals, over $6.5B in alleged false claims, HHS/CMS/OIG participation, CMS suspensions/revocations, and Sec. Kennedy’s statement on HHS collaboration with law enforcement. (Department of Justice).

The Department of Justice has announced an historic national health care fraud takedown involving 455 defendants, charging 90 physicians and other licensed health care professionals, in alleged schemes totaling more than $6.5 billion in false claims.

Federal authorities reported cases across 56 federal districts and 45 states and territories, participation by 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, and seizure of more than $182 million in cash, luxury vehicles, jewelry, and other assets.

The announcement describes the largest health care fraud takedown in Department history, but its significance lies in what the cases reveal about the operating environment in which modern medical fraud can scale. These were not merely clerical irregularities or disputed interpretations of billing rules. The cases described by DOJ involve alleged kickbacks, medically unnecessary services, false diagnoses, prescription-drug diversion, hospice fraud, wound-care billing schemes, Medicaid exploitation, and patient harm, including death.

Remember “trust the science?” Well here we are……not trusting science or those who tell us to ‘trust the science.’

Best quote:

“The American people do not need lectures about trust. They need institutions that earn it. On June 23, 2026, federal law enforcement and HHS gave the country a glimpse of what earned trust requires: not deference to credentials, not blind faith in systems, and not public-relations medicine, but accountability.”

There’s A New Type of Lyme disease in New York State. Oy.

Richard Horowitz

Jun 10, 2026

There are very few headlines that catch my eye. This one was surprising but not unexpected, since ticks are known to spread via travel on birds (and air travel has become more expensive these days, as I just found out after booking several flights). Here is the news release that made me pay more attention:

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lyme-disease-rare-type-found-first-time-new-york-symptoms-severe-rcna348491

So what exactly is the ‘new type of Lyme disease (LD)’? It’s a strain of LD that is not normally found in NY State. Its Borrelia mayonii. The CDC just reported on it in their MMWR report. Here is a brief summary:

[From: Nafiz TN, Prusinski MA, Gubbala S, et al. Notes from the Field: Borrelia mayonii Lyme Disease — New York, 2025. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2026;75:271–272. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.mm7521a2]

This is an important case study, because B. mayonii clinically presents differently than an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), so we need to understand how to properly diagnose and treat it if it is being found in new areas. (See link for article)

**Comment**

Dr. Horowitz points out that the rash with B. mayonii is not the ‘classic’ rash seen with Bb, which isn’t so classic either, and highly variable – although it’s completely diagnostic, proving infection – no testing even required. If you have the rash, you are infected, period.

But there is concern for more severe systemic illness with B. mayonii due to a high level of spirochetes in the blood.

Microchip-Like, Parasite-Like, and ‘Self-Assembling Nanotech’ Structures Found Inside Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine: Journal ‘IJVTPR’

Researchers publish darkfield microscopy images of Pfizer jab material.

Jon Fleetwood

Jun 24, 2026

Researchers publishing in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research this month have released a study featuring darkfield microscopy images of what they describe as self-assembling “parasites,” massive ribbon-like structures, compartmentalized protocells, and a rectangular embedded structure inside Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine material, arguing that the findings are consistent with advanced synthetic biological architectures.

The publication comes as the CDC awards Pfizer more than $1.24 billion in contracts for more COVID shots.

The new paper, “From Synthetic DNA and RNA-Based Self-Assembling Nanotechnology to Sequelae of COVID-19 Shots,” was published June 19 by independent researcher Shimon D. Yanowitz and Okinawa Christian University professor Daniel Broudy.

At the center of the study are microscope images derived from Pfizer vaccine-vial contents.

According to the paper, researchers placed drops of Pfizer vial material on microscope slides and observed the contents beneath coverslips.

The authors report that unusual structures appeared and organized over time after the vial material was placed under observation.

One of the first images highlighted in the paper is what the authors describe as:

“A synthetic structure, resembling a ‘parasite’ that self-assembled on a glass-slide with some fluid from a Pfizer vial placed there and located under a coverslip.” (See link for article)

GMO Mosquitoes, Weaponized Ticks & Brain Chips: The 6G Control Grid Exposed w/ Nicolas Hulscher

Google just filed to release 64 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes across California and Florida, alpha-gal syndrome has surged 10,000% since 2013 making people violently allergic to red meat, and 6G, the network being quietly built right now, is designed to interface directly with brain chips inside the human body. In this episode, epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation connects all of it: engineered insects, tick-borne bioterrorism, the Gates Foundation’s fingerprints across both, and the transhumanist control grid being assembled in plain sight.

Pineal Gland Calcification as a Convergent Pathological Mechanism: From Circadian Disruption to Neurodegeneration

Sayer Ji

May 25, 2026

A Hypothesis Paper

Prepared for submission to Medical Hypotheses / Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience

Abstract

Background and Purpose

Pineal gland calcification (PGC) affects over 60% of adults globally yet is routinely classified as a benign incidental radiological finding. This paper argues that PGC represents a significant and underinvestigated convergent mechanism in age-related pathology, with downstream consequences spanning circadian dysregulation, melatonin decline, oxidative stress, amyloid-beta accumulation, and neuropsychiatric vulnerability.

Methods

We synthesize peer-reviewed evidence across five domains: (1) epidemiology of PGC prevalence; (2) biochemistry of hydroxyapatite formation and its inhibitors; (3) environmental and physiological contributors including fluoride exposure and chronic stress; (4) melatonin pathway disruption and its systemic consequences; and (5) associations between PGC and neurological disease, including Alzheimer’s diseaseschizophreniabipolar disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

Conclusions

Convergent mechanistic and epidemiological evidence supports reconceptualizing PGC as a modifiable pathological process rather than an incidental finding. Known crystallization inhibitors — magnesium, phytate, pyrophosphate, and vitamin K2 — represent plausible preventive interventions warranting prospective clinical investigation. We propose a unified three-stage mechanistic model and a research agenda for longitudinal and interventional studies. (See link for article)
