So I am thinking Zikaaphobia? What say you?

[big bad easter bunny]

Just looking like so many repeats of the past, how the hell does the zika virus just show up in Miami?

[Vendome]

U.N., W.H.O., drug companies and the whore’s paid by them...

Swine flu was going to kill everyone and then it mysteriously died...

[Drago]

Most balanced article I have found so far on Zika:

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/health/fl-zika-survival-guide-florida-20160805-story.html

[gigster]

the Zika virus is essentially harmless. These scaremongering stories remind me of the nitwits who remind us to layer our winter clothes because of an approaching snowstorm. how many hundreds of millions of dollars are they going to spend on a disease that's only infected less than 1,000 people here in the U. S. so far?

[Drago]

1825 cases reported...all but 6 are travel related (returning from outside U.S., not including territories). Hasn’t really got started yet...may get a boost from olympics fans traveling back from Rio, then the mosquitos and sex take over.

Looks like about a 4.38% birth defect/stillborn rate for Zika infected pregnant women:

CNN report yesterday ...

MARIA CARDONA, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, you know, this actually underscores why the Republican Party has such an issue in terms of support from women, and why they suffer from such a huge women's gap. And it's because people like Marco Rubio really reflect how out of touch and misguided the Republican Party is when it comes to issue of women's health.

This is an incredibly debilitating disease that has hit hard, not just Latin American countries, but now it's coming into the United States through Puerto Rico, through Florida. And the bill that was put forward by the White House is the one that would be best suited to make sure that this money is going to exactly the people that are being affected by it so much. Low income communities, women who can't afford health care. And what Republicans did was they poisoned the bill with efforts to try to cut back funding for those clinics and to cut back funding on Obamacare. So they really weren't interested in fixing this issue. They were interested in playing politics. And Marco Rubio's comments underscores why.

Right what happened to the media manufactured ebola threat of a couple of years ago, or the bird flu, etc.? funny how these epidemics just pop up and vanish all of a sudden especially at election time.

Funny how the bp oil catastrophe just vanished. Yeah i was there on the Gulf . The media made it up as there was no disaster on the beaches

The media is the enemy

[Democrat_media]

Go douse yourself in ddt then you media puppet .oh that's right you can't because the media got the DDT threat banned too when DDT actually saves lives from malaria. What happened to the media manufactured ebola threat of a couple of years ago, or the bird flu, etc.? funny how these epidemics just pop up and vanish all of a sudden especially at election time.

Funny how the bp oil catastrophe just vanished. Yeah i was there on the Gulf . The media made it up as there was no disaster on the beaches

The media is the enemy

[nopardons]

So the MSM "MADE UP" this disease that is transmitted through mosquito bites and sexual transmission? REALLY ?

Did the MSM make up the fact that the ILLEGAL ALIENS have brought diseases into this country that we had had under control and/or have NEVER had here before too?

What about the recent outbreak of mumps, in N.Y. ; is that an illusion too?

Do you also believe that Americans NEVER walked on the mood too?

And as far as DDT goes, I NEVER wanted the use of that to be stopped!

I don't live anywhere near where the major outbreaks of ZIKA are, so your snide comments are worthless and banal; not to mention puerile.

[Democrat_media]

Did you forget the media campaign of fear about Ebola in the USA and fears of a pandemic etc.? that was Just 2 years ago and here this article shows that ebola in the USA was a hoax: where is it now?

you should read this article to see how the media lied:

http://21stcenturywire.com/2014/11/07/ebola-hoax-exposed-the-reality-behind-americas-dreadful-campaign-of-fear/

Why do you keep trusting the media?

You don't answer any questions . What happened to the ebola, swine fu, bird flu, bp oil disaster etc. ? all fake hoaxes

This zika or whatever is just the media distracting us from the election and terrorizing the public so that they accept more government and sure enough the media is driving congress to introduce bill to fund billions to stop the zika threat or epidemic or whatever the media is calling it.

My comments worthless? no my comments will save me time and anyone that listens to me . so they are worth quite a lot . Time is very valuable .
No one should spend their valuable time watching stupid “news” stories because they are just lies. no one should be worrying about fake hoaxes nor thinking a bout it nor doing anything about those fake lies.

What about the almost daily news stories trying to make Trump look bad as they did to Palin ,Reagan , Bush etc.
And you think the media doesn't lie?

Latest election polls showing hillary many points ahead? those were just proven fake too.

I'm here in the swamps of southern Louisiana and there are a lot of mosquitos . am I worried or not going out? No way . I'm not scared of fake hobgoblins . Oh i also don't see any oil on the Gulf nor waters as the media said there would be for years from the Bp oil spill.

you're on this site you should know the media is political as they are all communists . So they show you this to brainwash you . I'm free of the media . You want to keep believing them then go on.

Menchen came up with this many years ago. It's more true today

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

H. L. Mencken

When I hear "news" I think why is the media showing me this? there has to be some evil hidden motive .its not because they want to help me but to have me accept more government funding or distract me . anyway lies are evil and no on should waste their valuable time listening to evil lies meant to manipulate you.

I reduced watching tv and news cause it is all lies. I haven't stopped completely but I will soon. You know what I'll use my time to make something to make some $ instead or wasting time watching the lies that the media calls news The media is your enemy and mine.

I was dumb and brainwashed an I allowed the media to waste my time every night religiously with me watching the nightly news. I wasted decades watching news shows and tv news.I found that money is actually useful the news stories not so much. I could have been a millionaire if I would have worked those hours over decades and invested with compound interest. So the media robbed me of my time because i thought i needed to see that . Actually i didn't and all that the medi alked about for decades every night on the nightly news never affected me nor helped me. I never got ebolo, nor zika , nor the swine flu nor was i a victim of a white police officer nor a mass shooter etc.

[Democrat_media]

I forgot to mention the biggest hoax of all “Global warming” and man made global warming.

also ebola epedimic threat to the USA, remember the mandatory quarantines of people. this was a media hoax.

Anthrax, Sars, swine flu , bird flu all media hoaxes .

None of these media hoaxes were ever threats to the USA nor Americans ever.

EBOLA HOAX EXPOSED: The Reality Behind America’s Dreadful Campaign Of Fear
November 7, 2014 By Shawn Helton 13 Comments

The Ebola ‘outbreak’ narrative within the United States has all but dissolved itself in a pool of media trickery and hype, reminiscent of 2009’s Swine Flu (H1N1) scare turned viral-flop. A non-pandemic if there ever was one…

In the latest poorly produced fear campaign coming out of mainstream media concerning Ebola over the past week, we learned that ten people from Seattle, Portland, and Connecticut, have all been placed under watch for Ebola-like symptoms following their subsequent arrival from West Africa.

On Wednesday, New York health officials announced, “the number of people who are being actively monitored for Ebola in New York has tripled to 357 people”, with many media reports making this announcement sound as if there were 357 new Ebola cases. In addition, many alternative media outlets are also using anecdotal stories (‘he said-she said’) pushing hard on the Ebola ‘pandemic’ angle, fueling even more fear

[nopardons]

Oh lamby...you really DO write really hysterically funny posts! LOL

I've been far longer than you have, I NEVER claimed that the MSM doesn't lie nor blow things out of proportion.

OTOH, just WHAT could you have done to make MILLIONS, by NOT watching the news for decades...sans day ( night ) trading? And then you would have to be an expert in that field, which I doubt that you are.

I have lived through "global over population" scares, GLOBAL COOLING, GLOBAL WARMING, and now the idiotic CLIMATE CHANGE; not to mention the world running out fossil fuels, food of ALL kinds, and yes, the over hyped disease things ( excluding the ZIKA "scare", because THAT happens to be quite real in various different states )which never did hit the USA in any kind of large numbers. OTOH, the NILE VIRUS, is a VERY real medical problem/disease that you've surprisingly overlooked, since it's not to be found where you live, but IS a very real problem in some other states.

Whether microcephaly is a concern to you, or not, it is to many others. And yes, quite a few babies have now been born to ZIKA infected mothers, in quite a few different states now, as widely separated as Florida and N.Y.!

And now, because of all the truly STUPIDS, who fell for the NONVAX morons, American kids are now getting mumps, measles, and whooping cough, to name a few of the once almost unheard of diseases in recent times, due to the influx of ILLEGAL ALIENS. These diseases can blind, make adolescent and older boys sterile, and kill! And since someone decided to halt giving babies smallpox vaccines, now anyone born in 1973 and after wards, can contract that disease, should biological warfare be used here, or if an ILLEGAL ALIEN brings that in.

You don't know me, you don't know what I think or don't about this topic, or, I assume any other, yet you have decided that I am not nearly as knowledgeable nor intelligent as you are. Well, the joke's on you! LOL

[Democrat_media]

Yeah sure the media’s zika is real but all the others are fake like ebola scare, global warming etc. the only real one .

get a clue. all the media does is lie.

anyone with compounded interest over decades can become a millionaire just working extra hours , being frugal etc.

watching the media distractions like ebola , zika, global warming, “news”, sports, TV celebrities etc. however just takes away time which you could be using to make money and invest it with compounded interest. If i could write this to myself when was 18 that would make me millions. fact.

[nopardons]

Thank you SO very much for proving, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that YOU are an uneducated, rather sad person, whose tenuous grasp of reality is as skewed and off base, as can be.

First of all, few jobs pay overtime.

Secondly, interest rates, on bank accounts, have been SO low ( try 1%...with some even lower! ) for so long, that even the Clintons couldn't manage to "make a million dollars" on compounded interest AND one has to pay income tax on interest earned!

Oh and FYI....$1,000,000 may sound like a LOT of money, to YOU; however, unless you continue to live like a pauper, that amount of money doesn't buy what it once did!

Oh yes, ZIKA is a fraud; all of the HUNDREDS of people who now have that disease in N.Y. and Florida are just figments of the MSM's imagination. /S

I don't know how old you are, what your present socio-economic status is, nor what level of education you manged to complete, but I suggest that you stop living in your delusional little bubble.

Sure the MSM has lied, FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS; however, disbelieving EVERYTHING they have to say, is just as nuts as believing everything. :-)
