Zika Ping...
“as the Obama administration lobbied Congress for $1.9 billion to combat the mosquito-borne virus.”
All you need to know.
Gin up hysteria over a relatively harmless virus.
Get money.
Obama wants more money in budget. Zika to the rescue!!! never let a crisis go to waste!!!
“....as the Obama administration lobbied Congress for $1.9 billion to combat the mosquito-borne virus.”
If they hadn’t p*ssed away so much cash on horse sh*t, they wouldn’t NEED to lobby.
But apparently promoting Marxism doesn’t come cheap, and it’s clear that a president who’s importing terrorists as fast as he possibly can is not terribly concerned with public health or public safety.
everybody be afraid
be very afraid
are you afraid yet?
no?
try harder, dammit
booga booga booga
I think it is BS that the brain problems in babies is caused by Zika.
The Brazilian government has forced off label completely untested usage of the Tdap vaccine onto pregnant women. What did they expect would happen? Even the package label says it isn’t safe in pregnancy. Our government is pushing all the obstetricians in this country to push this vaccine on American pregnant women as well. It isn’t forced here, just recommended now. INTO AN UNBORN BABY WITH ZERO IMMUNE SYSTEM YET. Don’t let them do this to your child or grandchild, no vaccines during pregnancy, not even the flu one.

Bring back DDT.
Does the acronym DDT ring a bell? Perhaps it’s time to drag the forbidden stuff out of the closet, before a whole generation is as microcephalic as our politicians.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death... Collect all three pings...
I was speaking to someone from on of our local health departments. He had been in Atlanta for a conference. His comment was:
“They are taking this real serious. They spent all that time downplaying Ebola, and they are not doing that this time. The percentage of blood infected in PR is off the charts. This is going to be a big, big deal.”
The issue, as he explained it, was that once infected it remains in men’s semen for a long time. So the danger of the “small headed” babies is growing. And those babies are going to cost a fortune over their lifetimes. I know it sounds cold to refer to the cost of babies with disabilities, but that is the sad fact here. So the long term health care costs are going to grow exponentially if this gets out of control.
I suggested we bring back DDT. He did not disagree.
Duh. I know doctor(s) in the field that were told to shut up about the dangers of Zika early on.
Remind me how much do we pay these idiots in .gov?
