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.

It OK though, big pharama is getting lots of money to give us a vaccine for this flue virus. The article says" it often has few symptoms" and the real numbers of real micro encephaly that really are connected to the virus even tenuously are so few.
