The findings also raised worrisome concerns about whether babies born without such obvious impairments could develop brain damage as they grow. For example, almost all the babies in the study had problems in the cortex, including clumps of calcium and neurons that did not reach the right location in the brain. Because the cortex keeps developing after birth, Dr. Levine said, “we’re concerned that there might be mild cases that we haven’t seen yet, and we should keep monitoring the babies after birth to see if they have cortical abnormalities.”

The images studied came from 17 babies whose mothers had a confirmed Zika infection during pregnancy and from 28 without laboratory proof but with all indications of Zika. Dr. Levine worked with colleagues in Brazil, which has had more than 1,800 cases of Zika-related microcephaly, to analyze images from the Instituto de Pesquisa in Paraiba in the northeastern part of the country. Three of the babies died in the first three days of life, and researchers studied their autopsy reports. (Photos of X-rays at source site)

I can think of another Formidable Enemy that destroys babie's brains in toto, and it's got about half the elected representatives in Washington DC working as lobbyists for it.

Thanks to open borders we will now have injuring American babies.

Every mom who has a baby born with a birth defect due to this virus should sue the politicians that support this unfettered immigration.

B.S. That is not science. It has not been confirmed.

"The images studied came from 17 babies whose mothers had a confirmed Zika infection during pregnancy and from 28 without laboratory proof but with all indications of Zika."

So in other words, the majority of cases could not confirm Zika as the cause, so it could be something else. Like say, agricultural toxins + degraded immune system + lack of nutritional supplementation to offset the effects during the pre-embroyotic stage?

Good thing our government is importing it then, huh?

Years ago, I read a science article about (IIRC) Microsoft working on a device that killed mosquitoes by using lasers. The device used a ranging sensor and two lasers mounted on perpendicular walls of a room. The sensor would detect a mosquito, and would direct the two lasers so they intersected at the insect, which would then be incinerated. It could track and hit an insect within a second or two, and so could clear a room of insects in fairly short order (and keep it clear) even if a window was open.

After that one article, I never heard another thing about it. Given the lefty proclivity for exploiting rather than resolving crises, I have to wonder about the absence of further development of this device, particularly with Zika now apparently spreading into the US via mosquito vector, and malaria, dengue and other insect-borne ailments seeing spikes in recent times.

So, these poor children are going to grow up to be liberals and globalists? What kind of life is that?

Of course Zika is “formidable.” It was engineered to be exactly that, as the NYT knows very well.
