The real irony here, is how gullible and poorly educated fools like yourself, are being so easily manipulated into believing what you want to believe by websites that regurgitate these spam conspiracy theories.Originally Posted by Katman
Like this one, which has just been made up by a 'redditor' as a joke and then been lapped up conspiracy theorists as the 'truth'.

Zika virus, effects people with small brains that like to be parted of their cash, about $1.8 billion.
simple question, why did the Soviets modify a air-raid shelter into a gas chamber? what was their intention?

Easy to think that from a few thousand miles away - would be another story if you were living there and your missus was pregnant.

Hang on Kats .. are you suggesting that the Vika virus is a strawman in the vaccination argument? How so?

No, the straw man is the inference that one's opinion would be different if one lived in Brasil.

Pretty robust straw then. As TDL says - direct involvement by the relationship of proximity to a risk tends to focus one on the risk. after all, there are car drivers out there who are thinking ATGATT... and truck drivers aren't exactly bothered by the concept of SMIDSY.
It's not yet proven that the high incidence of microcpehaly is because of the association with the ZIKV infection - although it is still the highest (or rather, most investigated) possibility. Evidence of perinatal transmission of ZIKV together with its very strong effect on neurological anatomy, and its invariable presence in the amniotic fluid of babies with microcephaly all favour this hypothesis. Against that, however, is that there has been no association with micro carefully since the virus was first identified in Africa over 50 years ago; neither in Africa there nor in the outbreaks outside Africa (i.e. the Pacific) has such an association with microcephaly been reported. (of course, it doesn't mean it hasn't happened, given the poor public health surveillance elsewhere). furthermore, during a recent outbreak of the infection in the French Polynesia there was a strong association with neurological problems such as Guillain-Barre but no Association yet identified with microcephaly. But ever since thalidomide, people have been very, very quick to worry about the possibility of teratogenesis in foetuses and advising pregnant women to avoid the agents, or in this case, the vector. Since one legacy of the greenies has been to ban DDT, mosquitoes are flourishing and clearing stagnant water and fogging are only temporary measures. If you want to avoid the risk, then so far until more is proven, the sensible advice is to avoid the area where Zika-virus-carrying mosquitoes are flourishing.

Oh .. OK.
Let's see .. so if you lived in Brazil and if they had develped a vacine for ZIKV .. and you had a child bearing age daughter .. would you get her vaccinated against a virus that almost certainly causes microcpehaly or would you let her not be vaccinated, run the risk of a disabled baby against a very limited risk from the vaccine itself?

at child bearing age she'd make up her own mind.
I'd certainly "let" her not be. Encourage,even.
