Zika Doesn't Cause Microcephaly

Ok children, listen carefully and pay attention. Zika has been around for a very long time. It was first identified way back in the 1950's and since then it's found it's way around the planet. Thing is, it's never once been associated with microcephaly. Keep in mind, microcephaly is a fairly common birth defect with many causes. 1) Drug and alcohol abuse 2) Exposure to toxins 3) malnutrition 4) chromosomal abnormalities to name a few.

Now keep in mind, every country has a baseline rate of cases so for example a poor country may have 100/year whereas a more wealthy country may only have a dozen.

In 2015 there was a big uptick of cases in Brazil. Within weeks, a hypothesis was floated, that Zika (an otherwise harmless virus) was to blame. Only problem, the virus was ubiquitous in South and Central America without any increased rate of microcephaly in any other country. In fact tens of thousands of pregnant women in Colombia were infected but their *rates* of microcephaly didn't budge.

Like every crime drama you've ever seen, once the prosecutor has focused on a suspect, they ignore all evidence that he's not the culprit. Zika was to blame, end of story.

To believe that, you would have to believe that the virus mutated into a brain eating xenomorph with a taste for Brazilian neonates. More likely is this was a localized teratogenic exposure, maybe pesticides or some fuck-nut dumping toxins into the water supply.

Now here's a job for you Sup Forums. Follow the money. Who's benefiting from the Zika/Microcephaly narrative. We already know the Senate passed a 1 billion dollar slush fund (later overturned) to fight Zika. You also have people who've been trying to make abortion acceptable in South America jumping at this golden egg laying goose.

Dude, what the fuck?
Its being proved that Zika cuases that shit.

cdc.gov/zika/about/questions.html

Zika infection during pregnancy can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects. Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an uncommon sickness of the nervous system, is also very likely triggered by Zika in a small number of cases.

>t. Tiny-Head Ted

whats great is that there are links to the bill gates foundation releasing buggers around the same area plus the connection to the soros foundation

interesting times we live in

i truly believe in the end it will be plague or sickness that gets humanity in the end.

especially like a shit hole in brazil. Look at the filth you have brought, the worst type of murderous shit on the planet, next to the terrorists.Act like animals and you will turn into one, this is, in my opinion in mother natures way of telling you that you are scum.

this is with entire central america and mexico, you brought this shit onto yourself, so dont be surprised iif donald trump wins. This is my belief with catholicism and just producing babies, or zeki babies, soon they will be exploited like black children and some celebs will have them as an accessory mind you kind of like a gucci bag.

bump

>Its being proved that Zika cuases that shit.

I know what the CDC is saying, but the evidence doesn't back it up. You have to understand something about epidemiology, namely, bugs cause the same symptoms regardless the country you encounter them. If Zika caused microcephaly, every hospital in South America would be full to overflowing with anacaphalic neonates. This virus is everywhere and it's spread by mosquitoes for god sakes. Do your own research, take the time and find the average rate of cases in each country, then look for news articles addressing an increased rate. You should find tens of thousands. Only thing

you won't.

dunno whats your angle op

do zika heads have consciousness?

if not, then why would the nwo want a world full of zika heads?

You gotta admit it's a interesting theory. Tell me one case the government got legit concerned about something, and really did fix the problem.

Nightmare mode: In the last 50 years.

I think you have a case, but maybe we need to compile some compelling data showing otherwise. At any rate, zika only exists in Brazil because environmentalists forbid the use of DDT, which would wipe the mosquito.

its in miami now too

a whole gen of floridan burgers is gonna be born with an even smaller brain

This is some antivax level gymnastics.

Mice studies are irrelevant in light of an entire continent of human subjects you can test in situ. How many times have you seen early testing of drugs that showed promise in animal studies but turned out to completely fail in human trials?

Yes and the ISIS flag say All Jews 2050.

Stop with your conspiracy theories.

Don't trust me. Do your own research. Take the time to look at microcephaly rates throughout South America. Remember the Zika virus is everywhere. This has been a story since late last year. All the exposed women will either have given birth or will soon deliver. Also remember, microcephaly can be detected by ultrasound, so any affected neonates will have already been diagnosed.

theres truth to it, it look a REALLY long time for micropehaly cases to appear in countries not named Brazil, many people thought it was the water until the CDC came out and made a statement.

It's shop'd right?

Nope

Many reasons. It's easy to approve funding to treat/prevent childhood disease.

The WHO can use this as a dry run, basically to practice their emergency readiness in preparation for a real epidemic.

Like I mentioned before, those who want to break down South Americas aversion to abortion can use this to justify their cause.

Many oxen to be gored.

Zika is not 100% confirmed to be hind the small heads in br. But its one of the leading suspects, and lab tests back up some form connection with it.

Your "do your own research" argument is flawed because Zika, or the zika strain that may be causing problems is a relatively new phenomenon and there is simply not enough modern census data (plus its gonna take a few years worth of births/biopsies to establish an statistical link)

All you need to do is read the newspapers from each country in South and Central America. Believe me, if hospitals start to see an increased rate of babies born with microcephaly, it will be reported. Keep in mind, there are boatloads of resources just waiting to be mobilized to combat this problem. Reporters from around the world will descend looking for their story. They won't stay quiet.

>zika had been causing minor shit for years
>slowly a trend towards more virulent forms of it, and with more aggravated symptoms is noticed
>in 2013, french poly, a zika outbreak started to show something similar to the stuff in br, thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(16)00651-6.pdf, along with the first (rare) occurrences of GB syndrome

>then stuff in br happens

you can keep denying it, but there is a good chance for a causal relation

The only way that Zika could cause a shrunken head is if it was capable of being metabolized into a dangerous substance and sent to the fetus as a gross chemical

Thalidomide broke down into hydrogen peroxide and acids that in the end managed to permeate developing cells causing them to end their development phase pre-emptively

If it was taken too early it would become a still birth as the head would not develop to continue the process.

With shrunken heads being exceedingly rare it would be safer to say that it is the result.

There have not to this point been any viruses that actively cause growth prenatal though a rare chance may exist.

A more likely culprit is Toxoplasmosis a disease that is known to cause the exact same birth defect. It also has the exact same characteristics of Zika from being a flu like disease.

As a disease it is much easier to by pass the immune system and infect the infant feeding off of the nutrients the infant would typically be given and causing a birth defect.

Zika was known of back in the 40s and 50s yes. But the the sample size was far too small to associate with microcephaly. Since first discovered until the last few years the total known cases of Zika number in 2-3 figures. The last few years to today it is in the millions of cases, with only thousands of those apparently associated with microcephaly. So you see, the frequency of microcephaly from Zika is a separation by several orders of magnitude. The first 60~ years of the virus had not developed enough known cases for microcephaly to even occur at that frequency, on average.

You're spreading misinformation, sensation, and fear.

It's not Zika.

>1) Drug and alcohol abuse 2) Exposure to toxins 3) malnutrition 4) chromosomal abnormalities

Out of all those, the only plausible one is #2. Are you implying some deliberate dump of toxic material to facilitate this "outbreak"?
A couple of articles making arguments in favor of a toxic cause:

techtimes.com/articles/133548/20160214/monsanto-larvicide-not-zika-virus-true-cause-of-brazils-microcephaly-outbreak-doctors.htm

Oh look Monsanto. So obviously if there were any players behind a scheme to deliberately poison the population and misdirect the problem towards Zika, it's possible a company like Monsanto would have vested interest in such a thing, not to mention its' ties with the Clinton Foundation. The drug company angle seems like common sense. As far as abortions, the WHO seems to be the most publicly noticeable entity pushing for it in Brazil. With U.S. as the WHO's top donor, and having NGO's like the Gates' Foundation to look to for funding, it's certainly plausible.

I do think this deserves more looking into.

lots of things can contribute to it

a) not all mosquitos have zika
lots of bug bites but not that much transmission

b)pregnancy is a 9 moth deal
interaction between infection of zika and development of child can affect microcephaly

c)host variables
there are genetic, health, and medicine aspects that can be involved as well in regards to zika microcephaly

d)zika virus strain
there may be mutation with the virus itself that may cause one version to cause microcephaly and another not

tl;dr the correlation between zika and microcephaly is strong

why take the chance of them being wrong with the stakes involved (handicapped child/personal death) when it doesn't take much effort to avoid/repel mosquitos?

That's quite a slippery slope to accept in order to take your premise.

yeah, we know this.
The reason for shrunk babyskull'ness is some insectezide they added to brazil's drinking water for some socialistic reason back in late 2014.
Ya'll would know that if you'd been here longer than 1 month/didn't listened to the good goyim media

Do you have a source on that?

viruses mutate you mongoloid brained idiot also many viruses have different strains with different chief effects in the body. Just because someone has Zika in Brazil and Zika in Columbia doesn't mean that they have the exact virological strain of Zika

brazil does not have drinking water

We are one of the supposed majorly affected nations by zika.

There have been practically no cases of micocephaly, the disease has been here for a year.

I don't believe it, neither does anyone else for the most part.

This is all a scam so the americucks and the UN can try to scare us into making abortion legal.

O THE IRONY

When considering all possibilites? No, I don't think so. It's just providing another avenue to think about, with the point being it's possible Zika is not main driving problem.

I actually can't buy that.

Cell damage standardized into microcephaly?

That is somewhat implausible. That is such a specialized end that it does seem plausible considering other evidence that the microcephaly is a result of other phenomenon.

Proof god exists! And is an asshole.

It's not Zika. It's The genetically modified mosquitos with Zika.
