PhRMA: Please send money to fight Zika

See update below.

I’ve been reading various articles and listening to interviews and podcasts concerning the Zika virus. The whole thing is a nasty hoax. It is done for money (it will cost billions to develop a bacteria against a threat that does not exist) and to keep us in a state of tension (frightened people are much easier to control – that goal lay behind every hoax).

The center of the hoax is Brazil, where we now have seventeen confirmed cases of the virus being present in cases of microcephaly. The presence of the virus is meaningless, as it was first discovered in 1947, is harmless, and often present in our environment. Finding it anywhere is likely, especially if you’re looking for it, which is why it was chosen.

For it to be a real threat, it would have to be present in massive numbers and a pathway from virus to disease would have to be demonstrated. Neither criteria is satisfied.

Why Brazil? The Olympics will be there this summer, tens of thousands of people traveling there. That helps establish the need to do something, something very expensive, to remedy the situation. Now! It’s an emergency!!!

If you assume that because WHO is behind it, the threat is credible, and that because we have a burrowing news media to uncover the hoax, it would be exposed, please take note of the following:

Update: This just landed in my email basket, from Jon Rappoport. Microcephaly has been linked to pollution from petrochemicals, according to an ongoing study at the University of Haifa. It is causing a huge uproar in Israel, where the disease is emergent. In this case then, the Zika virus is serving as a cover tool for industry, a distraction, a diversion. That too makes sense. There will be no lawsuits for a disease that is caused by nature, rather than industrial pollution.

Zika: 4,180 becomes 270 becomes 6

If you’re following the news, public health officials are manufacturing a scare around the so-called “Zika” virus. We were initially told of an outbreak in Brazil in which it was discovered that there were 4,180 cases of microcephaly, or babies born with small heads. This sort of symptom is usually the result of an “insult” to the fetus during development, and can be cause be a host of factors environmental and physical.

Later, Brazilian officials reviewed their records and reduced the number of real cases of microcephaly from 4,180 to 270. And then there was this, reported by AP:

“Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly/small heads, brain damage] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus.”

That is not enough to indicate cause and effect. In the US every year we have 25,000 cases of microcephaly, none related to Zika.

What’s up? Why the hoax? Why the scare? I cannot begin to know but can guess that it comes down to two things: spreading fear, and siphoning resources into pharmaceutical corporations. After all, they need to develop a vaccine now.

Here’s a Huffington Post article advancing the scare and panic line.

Here’s a Jon Rappoport piece trying to set the record straight.
