Yep, that epidemic mosquito virus cited for lots of hosed up deformed babies might not actually be Zika virus. It might in fact be caused by a chemical that they put in to the water supply by Argentina to try and control the mosquito population. What does the chemical do you ask? Its a larvicide designed to gently caress up the mosquito larvae and stop them from reproducing, perhaps not something you would want to drink?

The Article posted:

The Zika virus has been blamed for thousands of cases of the birth defect microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with severely shrunken heads and brain damage. But now a medical organization is challenging that connection, saying that the chemical larvicide Pyriproxyfen is instead to blame.

The Argentine organization Doctors in the Crop-Sprayed Towns says that most affected children live in areas in which the chemical was added in 2014 to local drinking water in an attempt to control mosquito populations. The larvicide is used to create malformations in mosquito larvae, in order to impair their development and reproductive abilities. Pyriproxyfen is manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a Japanese strategic partner of Monsanto.

“Malformations detected in thousands of children from pregnant women living in areas where the Brazilian state added Pyriproxyfen to drinking water are not a coincidence, even though the Ministry of Health places a direct blame on the Zika virus for this damage,” said the doctors.


While the Zika virus has been found in a tiny percentage of cases of women who gave birth to babies with microcephaly, it may be a co-existing condition. A survey of more than 3,000 pregnant women diagnosed with Zika found no evidence of microencephaly and birth defects have not been associated with previous outbreaks of Zika, which occur regularly. The doctors also noted that birth defects have not been found in other countries affected by Zika, such as Colombia, which has not seen a single case of microencephaly, despite a massive Zika outbreak.

I would like to think there was a long study on potential side effects done before dumping chemicals into the water supply but this is south america we're talking about so it wouldn't really surprise me if there wasn't.

zika is pretty cool bc it's carried by the same mosquito that carries dengue and yellow fever, Aedes aegypti. (malaria, for instance, is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes)

it's interesting to watch an entirely new disease emerging before our eyes :/

So, the condition is most prevalent in areas where the mosquito problem was so big that the government was using larvicide to control them?

it was first isolated in 1947. it's not new, there's just not much literature on it because it never affected white people

the only reason people care now is because the olympics are going to be held in south america, attracting white people and putting them at risk. hth
