That article was written by long time conspiracy theorist Kris Newby.
Newby is the producer of a propaganda documentary for "chronic Lyme" called Under Our Skin, and also spreads conspiracy theories about bioweapons:

The article itself is about in vitro experiments funded by other chronic lyme conspiracy theorists. It has nothing to do with human disease.
Kris Newby produced the propaganda documentary Under Our Skin and her conspiracy theories about "bioweapons" are nonsensical on their face:

Thanks. I've spent 3.5 years on research for the Lyme documentary UNDER OUR SKIN, and 5.5 years of research for the book. I believe that some of the 20% of treated patients who go on to have chronic symptoms have undetected co-infections. The book explains the reasoning behind this. I'm giving a 20 minute online presentation on this Sat. at 11EST: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6715850012795/WN_KUIbToN3S_OPp7cnWtIP0w Tick Talk
The documentary "Under our Skin" details Alan MacDonald's breakthrough research on how Lyme disease causes Alzheimers. The 4 minute trailer is worth a watch[1], but basically Lyme disease is found in 7 or 10 brains of Alzheimers patients (small sample set). The Lyme disease spirochete literally drills countless pathways in the brain and that causes slow dementia. That spirochete also creates a biofilm which makes it challenging to detect in a living patient. His research is from a decade or two ago.
Also I wonder how a citizen scientist like Gates does a deep dive on this topic a like this. There are 10's of thousands of research papers on the subject[1] and countless books.

The documentary is called Under Our Skin.
A lot of people have mentioned this already, and I see that you're aware, but try to take another look at Lyme disease as a possible candidate. There's a huge controversy over it that I'm sure you're aware of.
If you haven't seen the movie "Under Our Skin", go see it now. It's all about the insanity surrounding Lyme disease, and basically the conclusion is that you need to find yourself a real expert on Lyme disease, and unfortunately they're not easy to find.
