Topic: Case of Sexually Transmitted Zika Virus Reported in Texas (Read 1637 times)

Microcephaly by itself is not always dangerous. I have read reports about people affected by microcephaly becoming successful entrepreneurs in their adult lives, with no negative effect on the brain functions. Also, there are hundreds of causes for Microcephaly. Zika is only one of the possible causes. Others include Edward syndrome, Toxoplasmosis.etc.

Carefully with that axe mate . Mosquitoes have a very important role in the food chain and also used to be important pollinators. By eradicating those little bastards we would create even more disastrous problems for the local populations what would spiral out of control pretty quickly.

BTW this one can be an plausible alternative explanation for increased microcephaly cases in the region: http://www.gmwatch.org/news/latest-news/16706-argentine-and-brazilian-doctors-name-larvicide-as-potential-cause-of-microcephaly

The virus is something everyone who visits that region of the world should be aware of. You should do everything you can to prevent yourself from getting it while visiting. People bringing this virus back to the US is very irresponsible of them, if the virus begins to spread around the country, it could cause a major epidemic. Its like dropping a match in a forest. I feel like I'm watching someone play the game Plague Inc.

Will see what will happen in future.Today i saw that during last year more than 4k babies in Brazil were born with microcephalia.Tragic for mankind and it looks like is connected to zika

That is the question.  They do not know if it has long term effects.  It may leave the blood but what else does the virus effect.  They know it does seamen and urine.

the main question is what will happen with people who have now this virus..will they later have normal children..is this about gens mutation conspiracy or true..

Then what do you believe?  Everything the Media says.

Ya know the whole conspiracy over whether or not UFOs exist?  Well the CIA finally released evidence that they do. Pictures and all. That was on the news.  So you must believe that.  And that was a conspiracy?

You religious?

i agree with you.. i dont understand why are some people so suspicious.. illness is illness.. dont believe in conspiracy theories..

Sounds like their plan backfired.

You can never rule out anything.  Maybe simply just part of nature.  But who is to say it really is.  The way this world is and tech have. It is very possible it is man made.  We will never know for sure.

You can never rule out anything that Hitler touched.  Do you guys realize what all he achieved and what was invented when he was ruler.  He made things we never thought possible by American scientists.  His scientists were leaders in their fields.

They did play around a lot with bio-weapons and invented many on their own.  So it can not be entirely ruled out.

Stop being paranoid. The Zika virus is not a pharmaceutical invention. The same allegations were leveled against HIV also, when the first cases were reported in the 1980s. Back then, the black supremacists were claiming that HIV was an invention by the Nazis, to reduce the African population. But check the mortality rates from HIV in the early 80s. Almost all of the victims were white homosexuals.

Zombie apocalypse is not stupid.

If it damages the genes, it means the disease will go from mother to child. Which means an infected can only give birth to another one.

Ooooooooooook...

Well, seems like this shit got to be cured or will become the doom of humanity! Because if every one infected gives birth to an infected...

Doesn't it remind you of some zombie apocalypse games? :/

Who is to say that there will not be problems even later say 5 years or so.  They really are not sure yet if there is any impact.

Question is what this virus actually damage in persons organism? If woman stays pregnant two years after virus will she have problem with baby because of zika

Very much so a problem.  Funny how the name Zika sounds like an end of times type of virus.  Zombie Apocalypse.   lol 

But es very true could be a bad one if it keeps on its path.

The CDC has rated Zika high and has issued their highest Level of warning for Florida maybe other places as well.  Maybe there 3 - 4 Million will turn into 3 - 4 Billion.

Have to keep an eye on this.

and who knows, this now is mutation of virus and now is transmitted sexual way, but easy can mutate again and to spread with air..this should be a danger..

this is so scary .. protected sexual act is really crucial.. everybody must be serious over this fact..

all this is pharmaceutical mass and yes birth control. who will dare to have kids in this conditions? especially if zika goes and spread across europe and usa

This sort of things gives me the creeps. It always remembers me of Population control and how pharmateutical make a lot of money with that.

Today i saw article where one scientists warn us that zika virus is changing gens and stay in organism causing changes in gen, so if people later have kids they will have changes in gens too. He says that this will degenerate humans

Exactly! We should put all our effort in this new disease before we get a new generation of retardes guys because of that virus!

Do we know if it's systematical of if there is just a chance? I mean, pregnant women will ALWAYS have a bay with mycrocephaia? Or do they have like 50% chances?

Brazil tourism will be affected because of this..And the worst is that we actually don't know what kind of consequences that virus have on other people except pregnant woman. What if few years later woman again have a child with mycrocephalia

The garbage some come up with this days is just phenomenal. The Olympics are in august 5-21 we have early February.  Allowing some time to have the birth at home one would assume it to happen sometime in September. Give a few weeks before she know for certain to be pregnant.  So the first thing loads of them did after they found out to be pregnant is to make bookings for Olympics.

will it affect anyone with rhesus - ?

Loads of people have cancelled their reservations.  From all over the country.  Mainly pregnant women.  I am sure it will continue.

https://www.corbettreport.com/interview-1134-jon-rappoport-dissects-the-zika-hype/

and now the carnival?? Probably lot of people cancelled their reservations and trip now..so they will be affected in tourism with zika for carnival and games

Meh! Good point.

I don't think lots of people will take the risk to go to Brazil if there is a shit like that...

Cause I don't even know the long term consequences. I mean, imagine your wife isn't pregnant, would the fact that she'd be infected by Zika virus have consequence on the child she'll bear 2 years after?

There have been more studies that have surfaced and there are cases in which people have died from Zika.  They said that it usually does not cause death.  There are currently 56 cases in which they are looking into Zika related deaths.  However they have confirmed at least 3 deaths in adults from the virus.  If anyone is following this at all worldwide they (WHO and CDC) has stated they are putting a number of infected in the Americas between 3 - 4 million people in the next year.  And they will not have a inoculation for a few years but may be able to run a test study later this year.  So if what they say is true consider what has already happened and where this virus currently is and what countries it is hitting in. If they find more people that died because of Zika.  Mainly newborns are the ones that die from the virus.  and there are 56 more death cases that they are looking into.

Now imagine if this virus mutated.  As it has already done at least once that has been recorded.  And they say that the mutation that they recorded would or may be the reason why it is now spreadable by intercourse as the previous was not.  It was blood to blood contact only and has never been able to be contracted threw intercourse.  Now it is and has been confirmed to be.  They studied 1 subject who was 44 years old.  He tested negative for the virus in his blood.  However his urine and seamen tested positive.  They at this time are not sure how long it lasts in seamen or urine.

Will be watching this virus as it could turn out to be pretty interesting.

Isn´t this going to be a problem for the Olympics this summer in Brazil? That´s huge money. Maybe the story will disappear so as not to disturb the cash registers.

It´s set to start in six months, much water under the bridge until then.

Yes it's like life sentence..if you have such a child you will suffer with him the rest of your life..and in Brazil some woman didn't know that something is happening with the baby wrong and on childbirth they saw and heard the diagnose..

Well yeah. If the head is small, so is the brain. It leads to death sometimes, but most of the times the child lives but with mental issues that can't be dealt with.

There is nothing you can do, I think that's the most horrible thing as a parent :/

Friend of mine is working in hospital and with all damaged children..mycrocephalia causes that head and brain stay small and can't develop..he has one with that, and the boy was like a plant with no sensation,understanding of anything thats surrounds him..

Do we know what the effects mycrocephalia are other than the deformity? I don't remember much about this but are there behavioral things or are we making an assumption there?

Poor woman. She should go to abortion, better than to have a baby with mycrocephalia...poor child will experience only suffer on this world, and won't be able to live independent and healthy never

Yeah seems like it's spreading damn quick!!!

You know it's really incredible how musquitoes are responsible of so many deaths... This is truly an animal we should eradicate, let the rhino alive and burn those motherfuckers!!!

It's also a matter of access. A lot of countries do not have safe abortion services or even access to condoms or contraceptives. There's a lot of pressure in world politics to not share safer sex resources, despite the widespread AIDS and HIV epidemic.

Really cleaver, you can not escape to mosquitos..and i saw today they are expecting Zika on Mediteranne in summer, Italy,Spain,Greece,Croatia would be affected

Damn, it's Aedes mosquitoes again. They spread the unholy Trinity - dengue, chikungunya, and zika - among mankind.

I just read in the news about the first pregnant woman diagnosed with Zika in Europe.

I initially thought it was just a Facebook rumor when people told me that there was this virus that causes babies to be born with small heads. Apparently they still haven't confirmed the link between Zika virus and the microcephaly according to the articles I read just now.

 

I agree abortion should be allowed in this case.

People should realize that their child will suffer all of its life because of this virus.

Who would want to bring a child into this cruel world only for it to be even harder for them.  People emotions get in the way most of the time.  When in cases like this should be a fairly easy decision.  Even though I know its not.  But for simplicity reasons i should be.

I agree, but abortion is not a light decision. Abortion can have huge consequences...

Psychological of course, it's horrible for the mother (and the father) to decide to "kill" their baby. Of course it's not murder but... It's hard to convince yourself of that.
And physical, because abortion can really impact the potential fertility of the mother!

The main problem is that you can't protect yourself from moustiques. So how you can fight such a disease? 

Abortion is the only solution for such a babies..simply they can never live like normal people and need a lot of medical treatment and can not live alone. What will happen to them once their parents are dead? Because of that abortion is soultion

Surge of Zika Virus Has Brazilians Re-examining Strict Abortion Laws

RECIFE, Brazil — The surging medical reports of babies being born with unusually small heads during the Zika epidemic in Brazil are igniting a fierce debate over the country’s abortion laws, which make the procedure illegal under most circumstances.

Legal scholars in Brasília, the capital, are preparing a case to go before Brazil’s highest court, saying pregnant women should be permitted to have abortions when their fetuses are found to have abnormally small heads, a condition known as microcephaly that Brazilian researchers say is linked to the virus.

A judge in central Brazil has taken the rare step of publicly proclaiming that he will allow women to have legal abortions in cases of microcephaly, preparing the way for a fight over the issue in parts of the country’s labyrinthine legal system.

And here in Recife, the Brazilian city hit hardest by the increase in microcephaly and the brain damage that often comes with it, abortion rights activists are seizing on the crisis to counter conservative lawmakers who have long wanted to make Brazil’s abortion laws — already among the most stringent in Latin America — more restrictive.

I saw that Zika first time was mentioned about 1947 in Uganda..in rainforests..and that very soon few cases were in Latin America..so this is not a new virus..what is interesting is what will actually happen? Ok it will be in all USA states, but are there other effects of that virus beside what makes to unborn children?You have virus, and now you are healed..ok will be some effects on your future kids, like you have 2 years ago zika, everything passed ok now want to have baby and because you had zika now your baby is with mycrocephalia or something other|?

Yup.

As of today there have been 50 confirmed cases now in the US.  Florida has issued a medical emergency alert.   Interesting.

Yes I saw in newspaper that Zika is known from 1947 and that was first in south east Asia and there were not epidemy. Ok it's known at least for now that there are no consequences for people and that attacks babies

No the story is not fake.  It isnt the first time this has been seen.  The virus stays in the seamen longer then the blood.

You can look it up and read about it on WHO and CDC websites.  It has been documented that this has happened in the past.  Zika isn't deadly to adults or already born children but it is to babies that are developing.

Zika has been know for a long time.  But it is never really spoken of.  Just with this small outbreak it seems the WHO should mention it.  Which they have.

I sweat bugs are gonna be the ones who kill all of us.

Think of the Plague.  It started from the fleas on rats.  Not really the rats themselves.  Seem bugs are turning out to be pretty deadly.

The sexually transmitted story is fake.
Those Babies are the result of Bill Gates vaccination program with his goal of global population reduction.

It's upsetting. I'm not sure exactly what the long-term effects are. It seems like sources are saying that you could carry it without even knowing. The deformities look pretty intense. I'm wondering how deadly it is to human life?

In any case, watch out if you're traveling in the Central and South Americas.

I don't have any doubt of this being a man-made, or at least influenced, epidemic. I base this on absolutely no evidence whatsoever, and am speaking out of the paranoia in my heart. These episodes become more disastrous with every blow, but humanity seems to strive. I don't know, part of me doesn't care anymore, like this happens so often it's old news. But damn, those babies look weird.
This could ruin an entire generation.

Officials in Texas have reported the first case of Zika virus contracted in the United States, saying it was sexually transmitted. If confirmed, it marks only the second known case of Zika transmission through sexual contact. Zika has continued to spread rapidly across Latin America, with Chile reporting its first three cases. The mosquito-borne illness, while generally not life-threatening, has been linked to the birth defect microcephaly, which causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads. The link has raised debates over restrictive abortion laws in countries like Brazil, which has seen nearly 3,700 suspected cases of microcephaly. The World Health Organization’s Anthony Costello announced the latest steps against Zika.

Dr. Anthony Costello: "This morning we’ve now set up a global response unit, which brings together all people across WHO in headquarters in the regions to deal with a formal response, using all the lessons we’ve learned from the Ebola crisis."

Scientists have linked rising temperatures from global warming to the increased incidence of mosquito-borne infections such as Zika.
