In the last article, we dove into the new epidemic, the Zika virus. We showed you how easily the numbers can be manipulated and reported to show a non-existent crises. In humans, the Zika virus causes mild flu-like symptoms with no previous evidence showing any birth defect association.

Let’s take a bird’s eye view of other factors that could be playing a role in this microcephaly outbreak in Brazil. This outbreak is occurring in a small area in Brazil, mainly a poverty stricken agricultural area, known for its pollution and unsanitary conditions. This same area has had Teratogenic Larvicide added to its drinking water for the last 18 months to kill mosquitos. Brazil lifted its ban on spraying Neonicotinoids in 2012, about the time the outbreak started. In October 2014, the Brazilian government mandated all pregnant women be vaccinated by 20 weeks with Tdap vaccines. And lastly, genetically modified mosquitos have been released in this area since about 2012.

Taking each of these one at a time, let’s see how they could all play a role in this ‘epidemic’.

As we’ve seen over just the last few years, outbreaks of Asian bird flu, Swine flu and Ebola have been overhyped killers. They have all died down as suddenly as they arrived, without causing the predicted worldwide carnage.

This year, the Zika virus is being blamed for increased microcephaly cases in Brazil. Microcephaly is generally diagnosed in a newborn whose head circumference is less than 32 cm; notably smaller than normal. This condition is said to have gone from about 150 cases annually to over 4780 cases since October 2015.
