ZIKA VIRUS

[Blindgreed1]

I'm not concerned with people dying from Zika, I'm concerned with fucked up babies that look retarded.

Yes, fucked up looking babies is horrible, but I really think death is a more urgent issue. Look, every year the CDC picks out what they're going after the following year. Sometimes it's H1N1 (which really wasn't a big deal), sometimes it's West Nile virus (which really wasn't a big deal), this year it was zika (which really isn't a big deal). It just gets a lot of media attention because that is what the CDC picked in anticipation of an outbreak that could impact society like the epidemics of the past (smallpox, yellow fever, cholera, spanish flu etc...) have. Be thankful that you don't have to see all the dead babies in Angola. Instead, you are seeing deformed babies from central America.
