............ Remember it was mentioned earlier this year, that it is possibly a pesticide that was being sprayed or potentially a vaccine a culprit for microcephaly in Northeast Brazil. So much fukkery...Yet, now they are ready to release more GM mosquitoes, to fight Zika, that apparently isn't actually causing microcephaly after all. Brazil opens probe as cases of Zika babies defy predicted patterns
The bulk of the cases of congenital Zika syndrome – fetal brain defects that sometimes cause microcephaly, or abnormally small skulls – remain clustered in the northeast region of the country where the phenomenon was first identified last October, the ministry says.
And that has epidemiologists and infectious disease experts asking what is going on: Is it Zika and another virus working together that damages the fetal brains? Is it Zika and an environmental factor? Or something about the women themselves whose fetuses are affected?
The research in Brazil won’t have conclusions for months, but will have implications across the Americas, where the Brazilian experience and the rapid spread of Zika has caused governments to take protective measures and even warn women to delay getting pregnant.
“We can see there is a kind of cluster in [part of] the northeast region with high prevalence and high severity, of miscarriage and congenital malformation that is really severe,” said Fatima Marinho, co-ordinator of epidemiological analysis and information at the ministry.
“But we didn’t find this in other states – even the [adjacent] states didn’t see the same situation as in the epicentre.… We were preparing for an explosion and it didn’t come.

No. It's acquired through mosquito bites but seems to be able to be transmitted by sexual intercourse.
People will not take it seriously if the federal government doesn't. Those b*stards went on vacation before funding the bill which would target research and a vaccine.
This is different from Ebola and could be potentially much worse.

For now. Republicans raised holy hell about Ebola (can only transmitted by close human contact exchange of fluids) funding but went on vacation before funding Zika - a disease spread by mosquitoes that can potentially affect a Much larger population. Craziness.
