Ain't no way a mosquito bite is doing all of that I'm sorry but no.Corporations dumping contaminated vaccines on other countries to turn a profit makes more sense.

Fuc mosquitoes, fuc biting flies. I would have went into herpetology - the study of reptiles and snakes - had it not been for those things. Like a surgeon who can't handle the sight of blood, a herpetologist you can't deal with biting insects cannot last in that field
Yeah....something aint right about all of this.
Are the hidden powers gonna use the Brazil Olympics as the springboard for a "staged global epidemic" after the ceremony concludes?
There are 20,297 confirmed cases of the disease in Colombia, the national health institute said in a epidemiology bulletin, among them 2,116 pregnant women.
There are so far no reported cases of microcephaly or deaths from the virus in Colombia.

Doctor: Are we sure it’s Zika?
One medical doctor here has questioned the purported link between the Zika virus and birth defects in Brazilian babies.
Health officials in Brazil have linked a rapid increase in microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with abnormally small heads, to the Zika virus. Since October 2015, the country has reported 3,893 cases of microcephaly, more than 25 times higher than the annual average of 150 cases.
However, Medical Director of the Barbados Fertility Clinic Dr Juliet Skinner told Barbados TODAY that a number of factors needed to be considered before the two conditions could be linked.
In fact, Dr Skinner cast doubt on the theory that Zika was the cause, pointing to the introduction of a new vaccine for pregnant women two years ago.
Dr Juliet Skinner
“It is notable in Brazil the question that will always remain is, is there any other factor? One of the things for example that has also been noted is that Brazil initiated a new vaccine programme in 2014 on pregnant women, a vaccine called TDAP [Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis].
“And I think there are a lot of questions still to be answered. Do we think that this is Zika, do we think that perhaps this is the vaccine that has been given to pregnant patients? Yes there’s a spike in the incidents of a congenital anomaly although it is still a very low rate of growth at 0.13 per cent . . . I think the hard thing in all of this is whether this is being understood,” Dr Skinner said.
The virus was first identified in the Zika forest of Uganda in 1947 and had been present in African and Asian countries, including India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. There was an outbreak in 2007 on Yap Island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
Dr Skinner stressed the absence of a link between the virus and microcephaly in those countries and wanted to know what had changed since it reached Brazil.
“When something suddenly seems as dramatic as it appears to, the question . . . there immediately would be, is this in fact the true cause or not, or indeed has something changed about Zika? Or were epidemics before simply not big enough to see that association because let’s face it, the risk of that actually happening, if we just take the Brazilian data that we have, a 0.13 per cent anomaly rate is a tiny anomaly rate. It’s not to be ignored,” she said.
The Barbados Fertility Centre provides fertility treatment services to women in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Dr Skinner said that a number of clients have been seeking guidance from the Centre on how to protect themselves from the virus, while some overseas clients have postponed their treatment as a result of their concerns over Zika.
“We have had some patients who have said, ‘ok I’m actually going to defer when I was about to come, to come maybe a month or two further down with the knowledge that it will be further into the dry season and perhaps by then more information will be known.’”
Some Latin American countries and Jamaica have recommended that women delay pregnancy due to the risk posed to the unborn baby. However, Dr Skinner wondered whether this advice was suitable for every woman.
“For those patients that are actually now wishing to become pregnant, I think you could say that yes, avoid pregnancy. And that’s a very easy thing to brandish out. But I think we have to be aware that delayed child bearing has many consequences, not least of which may deviate fertility itself.
“And for women who are older or have reduced ovarian reserves for example, they really need to consider this position very carefully because a delay in pregnancy could certainly mean the difference between them getting pregnant or not,” she said.
So far Barbados has recorded three confirmed cases of the virus, which is spread by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, and another 27 samples have been sent to the Trinidad-based Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) for testing.

there is also a group of posters that will always try to ridicule anyone that wants to question the "OFFICAL " line . the patent to the Ebola virus is owned by the CDC. It was created in their labs.....same as west nile,....H5N1 .....I love when bgol gives their amateur CDC expertise. First its fuck these hoes now it's the mosquitoes central nurveous system based upon my published research circa 2014.
If You had any ounce common sense you would understand what's going on. You come in questioning at the 25th when its on big media here.
As usual hood star male and female rats, the latest naked ballet dancer etc are more important to most. The ones who get hurt the most are often the last to actually care.
You are preaching toward the choir. I know folk.
If he got it from an insect bite, how is it an std?
WHO moves into high gear to combat Zika, microcephaly: expert
Head of the Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health at the World Health Organization(WHO) Dr Anthony Costello attends a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland, February 2, 2016.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that it was gearing up to combat the microcephaly outbreak in Latin America linked to the Zika virus, which it feared could spread to Asia and Africa that have "the highest birth rates in the world".
Anthony Coste"Mass community engagement" in areas with the mosquito that carries the Zika virus, and rapid development of diagnostic tools were essential, while a vaccine may be years away, he said.llo, a WHO expert, said that the U.N. agency was drawing up "good guidelines" for pregnant women and gathering experts to work on a definition of microcephaly including a standardized measurement of babies' heads.
Costello, referring to the link in Brazil between the Zika virus and microcephaly, a condition where babies are born with small heads, said: "We believe the association is guilty until proven innocent."

Australian university, Sementis working on Zika vaccine
The University of South Australia said on Tuesday it was working on a vaccine for the Zika virus with Australian biotech Sementis Ltd, a day after the World Health Organization declared the mosquito-borne disease an international public health emergency.
Sanofi SA also said on Tuesday it had launched a project to develop a vaccine against the virus.
So far, small biotech companies and universities have taken the initiative to develop a vaccine, although Britain's GlaxoSmithKline Plc has said it is studying whether its vaccine technology can be used against the virus.
Zika, a close cousin of dengue and chikungunya, causes mild fever and rash. An estimated 80 percent of those infected suffer no symptoms, making it difficult for pregnant women to know whether they have been infected.
The University of South Australia and Sementis have already developed a chikungunya vaccine, which is currently in the process of being clinically tested. (bit.ly/1PcM2Sr)
