The new Emergency Zika Virus Public Health Warning has more to do with political manipulation than it does with public health.
Zika Virus is not new - it was discovered in the Zika Forest of Uganda in 1947
Zika Virus is well known throughout Tropical Africa, South East Asia, and The Pacific Islands
These areas do not have the most advanced medical system in place and therefore many infected people were simply not tested
The 2 different test available today are very expensive PCR or ELISA assays that inhibit rapid testing of these populations
Yet - in 2007 - 20,000 Zika Virus cases were documented in Gabon Africa (http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0002681)
Then one case was discovered in Brazil in May of 2015 - the result:
"A number of countries have issued travel warnings, and the outbreak is expected to reduce tourism significantly.Several countries have taken the unusual step of advising their citizens to delay pregnancy until more is known about the virus and its impact on fetal development.Furthermore the outbreak has raised concerns regarding the safety of athletes and spectators at the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_Zika_virus_epidemic)
2016 Zika Virus declaration
On Monday, February 1, 2016, the World Health Organization declared its fourth Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in response to clusters of microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome in the Americas, which at the time were suspected to be associated with the ongoing outbreak of Zika virus. Later research and evidence bore out these concerns; in April, the WHO stated that "there is scientific consensus that Zika virus is a cause of microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Health_Emergency_of_International_Concern)
The impact to Brazil -
There is already a large amount of political unrest in Brazil because many people are in need of some type of public assistance that is not available - yet - the government has spent a billion or more on preparations for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Keeping with the old business slogan 'you have to spend money to make money,' Brazil thought the investment would pay off as the country reaped the benefits of all the revenue the Olympics would bring into the country, as well as, the additional tourism the Olympics would bring. (http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/17/brazil-is-in-crisis-ahead-of-2016-olympics-in-rio-commentary.html)
But due to this Zika Health Emergency - the 2016 Olympic games might turn out to be one of the biggest financial boondoggles of all time. Female athletes are staying away, female spectators are canceling their tickets.
Why?
Is there a real emergency? Or is the World Government trying its best to harm Brazil financially.
"The Zika virus, which has been linked to an increase in Brazil of a birth defect called microcephaly, was first identified in a Ugandan forest in 1947. Scientists now suspect that it is endemic across most of the African continent. Which raises the question: why aren’t we seeing a similar surge of microcephalic babies in Africa?" In fact, "There is no scientific documentation of Zika-related birth defects in Africa, where the virus originated." ... "The fact that there is no documented evidence of Zika-linked microcephaly in Africa has caused many scientists to think harder about the connection between the virus and the birth defect. “I have never seen anything in any literature from Africa describing these kinds of severe manifestations linked to Zika,” says Scott C. Weaver, the scientific director of the Galveston National Laboratory in Texas, and an expert on human infections and immunity." (http://time.com/4219240/zika-africa-origins-microcephaly-vaccine/)
So - does Zika Virus cause microecephaly - or is this news story actually serving the political agenda of the New World Order
Look at 3 of the countries placed on the travel advisory for Zika Virus
Ecuador - Is not a friend to the American Government and therefore The New World Order. Remember, Edward Snowden would have found exile in Ecuador if he was forced to leave Russia.
Venezuela - Long time anti-American country. Hugo Chavez Gave up the US Dollar several years ago and today the country is in political and financial ruin
Brazil - BRICS - Brazil is an anchor member of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South America) an money system for international trade outside of the US Dollar or the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The US Government has been trying to squeeze Russia with financial sanctions for several years. China and its new Asia Infrastructure Bank, a direct competitor of the IMF, is soon to replace America as the World Money Lender. The New World Order wants to slow this process as much as possible. Brazil simply is the easiest target for financial trouble-making.
Anything that helps to stall / delay / or disrupt BRICS is in the New World Order's best interest.
The News Media
Is an obvious propaganda for this New World Order by reporting this Zika Virus the way it has just before the 2016 Olympics. Is the Zika Virus real and dangerous - of course, I am not saying it is not. But what I am saying is that the News Media is deliberately reporting this Zika Virus news in its worst possible light to cause as much fear and concern as possible.
A different example of how the financial interest of the US Government determines how the media treats these public health stories.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a degenerative neurological disease that is incurable and invariably fatal. Since 1979, there has been an average of 300+ deaths per year within the United States. However, it can only be diagnosed by autopsy. therefore 300+ deaths per year represents only a fraction of the total deaths caused by CJD.
Have you ever heard of Creutzfeldt-Jacobs disease? (Mad Cow Variant)
In 1996 the USA stopped importing beef products from England because they were infected with it.
In 2001 the USA stopped importing beef products from Canada because they had one case of it
In 2003 one cow in the State of Washington was diagnosed with it.
Immediately 17 countries stopped beef imports from America
By December 2003, The New York Times reported that the financial impact to the US Beef Industry was approximately 15 Billion Dollars, and another 6 Billion in loss revenue from exports. (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/25/us/mad-cow-disease-united-states-economic-effects-businesses-tied-beef-expect-feel.html) Also that year, Tyson Foods lost 10% of its stock price, McDonald's and Wendy's both lost 5%.
Therefore - as of January 2004 no one calls the disease Mad Cow anymore
Does this mean it has gone away? No, because 2015 documented 425 cases by autopsy. So why isn't the media reporting it anymore? Because it is not in the US Governments best interest to do so. We are to pretend that it doesn't exist anymore and continue buying beef.
Is Zika Virus real and dangerous - yes - but, it fails in comparison to CJD, both in risk and in numbers.
However, it becomes obvious that the reporting of the Zika Virus story is designed to financially hurt Brazil as much as possible.
