Original Note:
Based on available documentation and scientific consensus, the claim that Lyme disease was a lab leak from experiments near Lyme, CT in the 1960s lacks substantial evidence. Lyme disease has natural origins, with its presence documented far before the 1970s. https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/ancient-history-of-lyme-disease-in-north-america-revealed-with-bacterial-genomes/
