Zika virus and Suspicions About Genetic Engineering

In the midst of frenetic talks about the dangers of zika virus to the fetus, a group of doctors from Argentina to mention that not zika virus that cause birth defects. According to Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns (PCST), they said that what triggered the case of smaller head circumference than normal (microcephaly) in infants in Brazil is caused by larvasida toxic, which is inserted into the drinking water of the population of Brazil.

Larvicidal chemicals originally injected into drinking water sources in Brazil in 2014 to stop the spread of mosquito larvae in the water tank. Chemicals called pyripoxyfen used in the government's program to control the mosquito population in the country. Pyriproxyfen is larvasida made by Sumitomo Chemimal, a company associated with Monsanto, genetic engineering companies.

Scientists Predict That took 10 Years To Find Zika Virus Vaccine

US scientists who reviewed the Zika virus, warn, it took ten years before the vaccine is available to the public. This virus is associated with shrinkage of the unborn child, causing severe brain damage or death. Zika has spread to over 20 countries and caused panic in Brazil where thousands of people were infected. Currently there is no vaccine or cure, while test diagnosis is difficult to do.

The search of the vaccine was led by scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch. They have visited Brazil to do research and collect samples. Now they are doing the analysis in the laboratory heavily guarded in Galveston. However, they cautioned that although the vaccine may be ready to test in two years, chances are it can take ten years before being allowed by the government.

Speaking to the BBC from a building guarded by the police and FBI, Professor Scott Weaver, director of the Institute for Human Infections and Immunity, said the fear of society against this virus is unfounded. The World Health Organization, WHO earlier estimated Zika virus will spread to the American countries except Canada and Chile.
