The Brazilian team found that about 10 percent of the 83 babies had knee or elbow joint limitations so severe that the infants cannot fully extend their arms or legs. Another 43 percent of the babies had less-pronounced joint problems that impeded finger or toe motion, or the babies had other limb abnormalities like clubfeet. And half of the babies had seizures and abnormal eye exams...Further complicating efforts to get a handle on the issue: according to the World Health Organization, more pregnant women infected with Zika are now aborting their fetuses.

I smell a crisis to not let go to waste.

In a sane world, our ‘lawmakers’ would lift the current ban on DDT, hand Monsanto and/or Chevron the funds (including a profit incentive) to produce a few thousand metric tons of the stuff, and ship it out to mosquito prone areas for immediate spraying.

Not the first time mosquitoes have been the culprit. Yellow Fever, Memphis TN 1870s.

Was Zika created by the Pro-Abortion crowd ?

Nuts! I read an article from a Univ of CA affiliated medical center, and the neurological impact on the developing brains of the unborn was horrifying. Brains fail to fully develop (as in missing full lobes, only to have cerebral spinal fluid fill the gaps), and some have skulls collapse in on the malformed brains.

This virus has not always been this virulent, much in the way HIV was not always as virulent as it was prior to its’ emergence in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Like all pathogens, it simply mutated. Sadly, like all disease causing pathogens, for the worse.
