    Default ZIKA Virus

    Zika virus outbreak linked to release of genetically engineered mosquitoes... disastrous unintended consequences now threaten life across the Americas - NaturalNews.com

    GMO skeptics like myself have been warning for years of the unintended consequences of genetic pollution. Even when genetically engineered organisms are released into the world with the best of intentions, such actions can wreak havoc on the ecosystem and human civilization in ways that simply can't be foreseen by the world's most well-meaning scientists. ...
    There is more that we don't understand than do. Especially about this mechanism called 'Life.'

    Etc. etc.

    I respect the one that doesn't know, and knows they don't know. The one that doesn't know, but doesn't know that they don't know, is foolish.

    Where is the outrage in America...too busy tweeting?

    We have proven that even in 2015, we can't even keep from screwing up our own drinking water. So we green light letting 'them' genetically modify our food?

    Experimenting with metal alloys is one thing. Experimenting with the food people will eat and the ecosystem is quite another, especially without having a complete understanding of the mechanisms involved.

    wiki says it was found in a monkey, in the Zika Forest, in 1947. I believe that is well before GMOs were even a thing

    Q,

    Geez ! Sometimes you're a scary kind of Guy !!!

    Hmmmm.....I respect your opinion, but I’ll make a few counter-points...

    “We’ve known about Zika virus since at least 1947, when researchers from the Rockefeller Foundation put a rhesus monkey in a cage in the middle of Zika Forest of Uganda. “

    How does Zika virus shrink a baby's brain and other FAQs

    Predates the use of GMO’s....gotta be true ! I read it on the Internet !!!

    Circumstantial evidence ; “hearsay” ; not admissible in a court of law :

    My Wife was a “Special Ed” Teacher...back in her Student Teaching days, way back in the early 70's, she had 2 Students, from the same Family, who suffered from :

    “microcephaly, a condition wherein newborns are born with shrunken heads and severe disability.” (Same article)

    When this latest scary news broke, she said “Gee...I wonder if that’s what caused that in the 2 Students I had ?” She doesn’t remember where they were from, but she remembers those 2 Students were black. Possible connection to Africa ?

    No.....I don’t raise GM crops ; and no, I don’t “tweet” !!!

    Just looking for the “Truth”....according to Mulder and Scully, it’s out there !!!

    I'm not sure they suggested that GMO's created Zika.

    Circumstantial evidence is admitted all the time. And, there are hearsay exceptions.

    Correct me if I'm wrong as I read maybe half the article. But I believe the main point you and K0n seemed to miss is that the whole GMO thing has facilitated the spread of Zika. At least that was my understanding when I made the post in question.

    Yes, I am scary sometimes. But all throughout history, mankind has been shown to be neophobic. Fearful of anything new or different. Remember, the Earth used to be flat, etc. etc., ..., the list goes on of people persecuted or killed because...everyone else was afraid of their ideas.

    What are you saying, that you have ideas that may cause you to be persecuted or cause your death? FYI, much of your food--corn, soy, vegetable oil, animal feed, etc. are GM foods. I am all for GM mosquitos. Viruses/diseases happen. Bubonic plague killed nearly 1/3 of Europeans in the 1300s. Zika is much less scary than Ebola or HIV.

    fair enough. From the little bit that I read, it sounded like sporting events were a likely cause of the outbreak. But certainly nothing overly conclusive.

    Certainly an interesting take on GMOs enabling the breakout. Unfortunately, if its true, I imagine most of the evidence of it would have been quite swiftly cleaned up.

    From my understanding, the part that makes it difficult to figure out how the outbreak started, is because they didn't know there was an outbreak until after the babies were born. As this isn't like Ebola or something; it doesn't seem to be common to die from it, or even get very ill except similar to a common cold. But obviously birth defects are something that gets BIG attention. And I believe the cases of Microcephaly went from a couple hundred every year, to something like 4000 in 2015... like completely off the charts.

    For the record, my point wasn't that "I don't think we eat much GMO foods."

    Much less scary for the living. But if there was a single number that was the most important statistic to the survival of a civilization, it would be 'healthy' birthrate.

    i think it is on account of them brazilians having too much sex. that is always the cause of global disease outbreaks, it has been since the beginning of mankind, ever since eve took a bite if that damned apple and tricked adam. but we should forgive them because god gave them the parts and seriously who wouldn't want to make love with a brazilian?

    this is pretty basic human nature stuff here folks, don't have sex outdoors where you might get bitten on the but by a mosquito, or a least take precautions. same old monkey, same old story.

    GMO skeptics like myself have been warning for years of the unintended consequences of genetic pollution. Even when genetically engineered organisms are released into the world with the best of intentions, such actions can wreak havoc on the ecosystem and human civilization in ways that simply can't be foreseen by the world's most well-meaning scientists.

    I specifically warned about this in 2012, listing the top 12 threats to humanity posed by out of control science. In that infographic, I designated "Level 4" hazards as "Self-replicating pollution," naming genetically engineered organisms as the vector for such threats against humanity. (In the years since, many top science figures like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have repeated the warnings from my list, including threats from AI.)

    Now we may be seeing the first wave of the horrific destruction that can be unleashed by self-replicating genetically modified organisms. The Zika virus, now spreading with unbridled ferocity, appears to have been caused by the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes that scientists hoped would sharply reduce malaria infections.

    "The Zika virus outbreak currently gripping the Americas could have been sparked by the release of genetically modified mosquitoes in 2012," reports The Mirror. "The insects were engineered by biotechnology experts to combat the spread of dengue fever and other diseases and released into the general population of Brazil in 2012... The Aedes aegypti mosquito sub-species that carries both the Zika virus and dengue was the type targeted with genetically modified mosquitoes."

    But something went horribly wrong.

    As pointed out in this fantastic article by AntiMedia.org, the genetic engineers running this massive open-air experiment with mosquitoes and humans failed to consider the impact of antibiotics in the environment caused by their heavy use in agricultural (animal feed) operations.

    As AntiMedia reports:

    Same area where GM mosquitoes were released in 2015 is the epicenter for the Zika outbreak - NaturalNews.com

    ... Of course, experts such as those at the World Health Organization (WHO) have been meeting to get to the bottom of the crisis. However, they may only need to go back as far as the release of GM mosquitoes in Brazil in 2015, just mere months before people in that region began giving birth to babies with serious defects. ...
