“A billion here, a billion there...”
If they spent that F******ING billion actually ENFORCING the G*****ED BORDER. It would have MORE EFFECT on STOPPING ZIKA!!!!!
right now if the Norks attacked DC with a “Satellite”, I am not sure how I feel.... Every time i hear a story like this, I find it harder it is to feel sad should the above scenario play out.
Bring back DDT sprayers for 5% of the cost.
“We see the people of this country facing a public health threat,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida
And it is a DIRECT Result from Me and My buddies in Congress FLOODING the Country with 3rd world people from god knows wear with all their diseases and filthy habits.
When I got my Wife her Green Card, MEDICAL EVALUATIONS were MANDATORY, any disease and you got shipped back home!!!
Ah, now we see the real reason behind all the Zika fear porn.
Fear is extremely profitable isn’t it.
If pregnant just slather any of a number of (mosquito repellents) on....shouldn't take a Billion dollars....who on earth approved that?
Every year it is some new virus we need to fight and every year it turns out to be a big nothing burger with huge piles of money thrown at it.
We are being fleeced and we love it!!!!
Follow the money.
The Sky Is Falling yet again and it, as usual, will be very expensive to taxpayers and highly remunerative to favored industries and lobbyists.
That’ll fix it for sure.
I don’t think a few tanks of DDT and spray trucks cost a billion dollars.
$1.1 BILLION! Yet from what I’ve read only ONE person in the USA has died as a result of zika. What the hell? How about that money go towards something useful. Like maybe give it back to those who paid it in with their taxes!
The Fed is worse than a drunken sailor. At least a drunken sailor spends their own money. The Fed has no money other than what they TAKE from tax payers.
How many ‘flu’ types has the government thrown $billions at in the last 20 years?
Avian?
West Nile?
Swine?
It seems rather strange that most never heard of Zika until about a year ago, even thought it has been around since about 1947.
Why all of the sudden does it seem to be spreading and needing $billions from governments?
We need to follow the money and find out whether all of these allocations really go where they are supposed to or whether they end up in cronies’ pockets.
Bringing back DDT would be more effective than anything the idiots in our gubmint will come up with.
At least these 3 companies are making money already; later I’ll look up Boards, etc. It’s always somebody’s brother-in-law....
Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO), a biotech focused on treatments for infectious diseases. The company, based in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., agreed in January to work with Korea’s GeneOne Life Science on a treatment.
Intrexon (XON) ais another company working on treatments. The Germantown, Md.-based biotech company bought a company called Oxitec to help it develop treatments for a variety of sectors including zika and dengue, according to Samuel Broder, Intrexon’s senior president of health at a Jan. 13 JP Morgan presentation.
Gary Rollins, CEO of Rollins (ROL) a pest control business, mentioned zika in the Jan. 27 conference call. The company anticipates more business as consumers and businesses get more concerned about the health dangers of disease carried by mosquitoes. “Based on our experience with the West Nile outbreak, publicity concerning mosquito risk will escalate,” Rollins said. Shares of Rollins are up 29 cents, or 1.1%, to $26.43.
And finally, good blog post and informative comments. Brazil’s DTAP vaccine may well be the culprit; or pesticides poured into drinking water sources.

“”It doesn’t take much to create a new industry. Basically, all you need to do is create fear. Create a threat, an enemy, and then offer a solution to eliminating that threat and vanquishing the enemy, and… voilà, you have the beginnings of an industry. It doesn’t matter if any of it is true. You have the essentials of what is required to give birth to an industry and, eventually, a market.””
“”Because the CDC and NIH have proclaimed it so, the Zika virus has been accepted to be one of the greatest threats to humanity in a long time. Last year, Zika was an obscure and relatively harmless virus known to produce no symptoms in the vast majority of those who contracted it or only very mild symptoms in a minority of those infected. CDC officials said so.
Most people infected with Zika virus won’t even know they have the disease because they won’t have symptoms. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache.
The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika. For this reason, many people might not realize they have been infected.””
In a few short months, however, Zika has suddenly been transformed into a cause célèbre—the source of tremendous fear and angst for the public. So, naturally, Zika has now become an industry, and it will later become a market. The key product in this nascent industry will be vaccines.””

How long will it take for the name calling to begin here for daring to post such a thing? “Daring” is a mild word compared to what “some” prefer to call those of us who “dare” to question the CDC.....
If things follow suit, this will be a non issue in about a month AFTER money ‘hidden’ from view of ‘US’.
Worked with SARS, Ecola, Ebola, Ebonics etc etc etc (sarc)
Why not midnight basketball for the skeeters?
DC Metro going through the same BS New Orleans went through when the ‘bigun’ hit.
Just WHERE did all that money go that was supposed to be maintaining the levees and dikes. (Guess some of the money went to the Dykes)
Like the DC Metro board it went to the Levee(??) Board...more cash to hand out under the counter for those in powers favorite donors.
Airports are now in a slow down because of TSA and the season hasn’t even started.
I had said on occasion that best thing for the airlines is - if WE don’t have to absolutely fly take the train or drive’.
Airlines start losing enough business they will ‘kick the Fed’ off the property or shut down.
Airlines are sitting pretty, if someone gets through and blows up a plane or two, NOW they can go back and SUE ‘US’ because the bomber got through ‘OUR’ Security..
Back in the days around and after the USS Thresher ‘accident’, the shipyards were set up to be shut down if the USN inspectors found fault.
Shipyards and unions really didn’t ‘mind’ as they just turned it into the insurance.
Oh the USN insured the building of the ships..
Ain’t it a grand cycle????
Another fake pandemic....
Would like to have every last cent of these monies tagged and kept track of so that they can’t embezzle one red cent.
