Two babies born in California with Zika-related severe birth defect

Two babies in California have been born with the severe birth defect microcephaly after their mothers were infected with the Zika virus while traveling in foreign countries where the virus is common, state public health officials announced Thursday.

Due to privacy concerns, state officials would not release any more information about who the mothers are, where they live and where they traveled to, other than to say the cases occurred this year. They are the first reported cases of babies born with microcephaly in the state in connection with the Zika virus.

Their privacy concerns overrule the security concerns of American citizens. Infected mothers from foreign countries can come here infected with the Zika virus, have their child in a hospital with the bill covered by the American taxpayer and that child is automatically an American citizen whose long term care will be paid for by the American taxpayer.

You nailed it!

Suppress the patient info so no one can find the water treatment cause ...
It was on FR in the past days the tie in to water treatment as in pesticide where the birth defects occured.

This way no one can do a fact check.

How convenient.

Did it say these mother’s were from foreign countries? Thank goodness mosquitoes can’t get to the U.S..

I hate to quote Snopes, but they had a good take in the issue of pesticides being responsible for the microcephaly cases

http://www.snopes.com/zika-microcephaly-outbreak-pesticide/

...The origin of the pesticide theory was, surprise surprise, a small physicians’ group that campaigns against pesticides. The group hasn’t done any epidemiology to demonstrate that people exposed to the pesticide are more likely to have babies with microcephaly; it has simply laid out an argument. The mainstream groups, looking at this problem holistically, have said there’s much better evidence that mosquitoes are hurting people than the evidence (and there’s no evidence, really) that the stuff killing mosquitoes is hurting people.

...This claim is not plausible. The pesticide in question is pyriproxyfen ... [t]he effect of pyriproxyfen on reproduction and fetal abnormalities is well studied in animals. In a variety of animal species even enormous quantities of pyriproxyfen do not cause the defects seen during the recent Zika outbreak. Pyriproxyfen is poorly absorbed by humans and rapidly broken down so even the minute amounts humans would be exposed to via water treatment would be reduced even further. As well, pyriproxyfen is relatively rapidly removed from the environment as well, so overall exposure will be low. The “Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Villages” only evidence for the role of pyriproxyfen is that spraying began in 2014. While the evidence that Zika virus is responsible for the rise in microcephaly in Brazil is not conclusive, the role of pyriproxyfen is simply not plausible.

Another article was tying it into gm modified mosquitos we released awhile ago.

Zika or the insecticide they spray on marijuana plants

2004....avian flu
2008....influenza
2012....ebola
2016....zika

If only the US would stop holding Presidential elections....

A prodominant number of the zika babies with microcephaly are not just from Brasil, but from Salvador area of Brasil. Were talking most of the cases. So what went on there?

Just something to consider:
