“A person” had sex with “a person”?

I’m thinking that 2 homosexuals are involved.

Zika is a mild disease that has been identified since the 1940s. Like everything else, it comes from Africa...and has been found throughout the world since then.

Any virus, including both Zika and the common cold, contracted in the first trimester of pregnancy can and probably will cause birth defects. If you’re not a pregnant woman, you have nothing to fear. And even then, getting the disease does not inevitably mean that the child will have defects.

This is all a freaky UN control scheme. You want to get rid of the mosquito? Spray its little socks off and and demand tha the city deal with getting he mosquito under control forever,,

Doubly bad as an STD. Sexually transmitted and potentially the initiation of a child infected with Zika in the womb. A non-viable pregnancy or institutionalized for life. That infected male is finished having children.

Its kind of logical, isn’t it?

Sex is obviously the best transmitter for any disease that can be transmitted - from the common cold to HIV.

Its why the Jews and Christians created rules about monogamy and sex after marriage. Its God’s laws written in nature, and common sense rules for survival.

Mr.RR and I have (with our businesses) have traveled in many countries. The USA is the only country that we have seen has that has window screens. Those would help with the mosquito problem.

Please note that even in this Time magazine article, there is as yet absolutely NO evidence Zika causes microcephaly. In Brazil they need to rule out a lot of other potential causes.

http://time.com/4202262/zika-brazil-doctors-recife-investigation-outbreak/

I do not think vaccines are safe for the unborn, yet also in March 2015, just 4 months before the case of microcephaly started shooting through the roof, Brazil started giving the dTAP vaccine to all pregnant women.

That is insanely risky. I’d like to rule out things like this as the cause of the microcephaly cases. It makes more sense. No one gives pregnant women these multi-vaccines. The vaccines themselves on their leaflets pointedly SAY they have never been tested for safety in pregnant humans.

Zika has been around for a long time and never caused microcephaly before. There is no evidence it does now, either, as admitted in the Time Mag article above.

And no mainstream media will question this, because vaccines are holy for all in any amount.
