The Zika virus has been a relatively mild virus to the human population for years. And NOW it suddenly causes microcephaly? It's entirely logical that there is/was another cause of the microcephaly in the Brazilian infants. And there are some Argentinian and Brazilian doctors who say just that - that the cases of infant microcephaly happen to be in the areas where an insecticide known for disrupting the larval development was used in the drinking water - Pyriproxyfen.
