The Zika-Agriculture Connection

By Marshall Matz

There is no vaccine to fight the Zika virus. The most promising technology to control the Zika disease is through the genetic engineering of mosquitoes. The private sector, led by the Intrexon Corporation, has developed a way to modify male mosquitoes such that when they mate with the females their offspring die before they can transmit the disease. The technology has been approved in Brazil and last year Piracicaba, Brazil became the world's first city to release the modified mosquitoes. The technology is pending approval in the United States. Hopefully, that will happen in the very near future.

Interestingly, a new survey done by Purdue University shows that he U.S. public overwhelmingly supports introducing genetically engineered mosquitoes to help control the spread of the Zika virus. The researchers said they were surprised by the findings because of the public debate over GMOs in food and agriculture.

"Yet when it comes to fighting the Zika virus, public sentiment comes out pretty strong in favor of using these technologies to our advantage," said Nicole Widman, of Purdue University's Department of Agricultural Economics and lead researcher on the study.

hmmm

purdue also says this - defending roundup...which has been linked to birth defects

nice author combo of the two articles too - matz and rothschild

Purdue Scientists Dispute Anti-GMO Claims

By Mary Rothschild | February 26, 2011

Purdue University scientists are questioning recent statements by groups opposed to the use of genetically modified (GM) crops, specifically that glyphosate use and Roundup Ready technology are impacting the health of plants, animals and possibly humans.

so purdue and matz pushing gm mosquitos to fix zika mosquito problem....purdue and rothschild defending roundup from science...

then see that monsanto is being fingered for the birth defects...and NOT mosquitos

http://www.globalresearch.ca/brazil-officials-focus-on-sumitomo-monsanto-pesticide-used-to-fight-zika-after-it-was-exposed-as-a-possible-cause-of-birth-defects/5510995

On Sunday, the Free Thought Project reported on the recent information released by the Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns (PCST), who revealed that the Brazilian government’s assertion that microcephaly was caused by the Zika virus was not substantiated.

The report by PCST revealed that the pesticide, sold under the commercial name SumiLarv, is manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a Japanese subsidiary of Monsanto.

“Pyriproxyfen is a growth inhibitor of mosquito larvae, which alters the development process from larva to pupa to adult, thus generating malformations in developing mosquitoes and killing or disabling them. It acts as an insect juvenile hormone or juvenoid, and has the effect of inhibiting the development of adult insect characteristics (for example, wings and mature external genitalia) and reproductive development. It is an endocrine disruptor and is teratogenic (causes birth defects).

“Malformations detected in thousands of children from pregnant women living in areas where the Brazilian state added pyriproxyfen to drinking water is not a coincidence, even though the Ministry of Health places a direct blame on Zika virus for this damage, while trying to ignore its responsibility and ruling out the hypothesis of direct and cumulative chemical damage caused by years of endocrine and immunological disruption of the affected population,” according to the report by Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns.

In a move that would never happen in America, the Brazilian government actually listened to the group of doctors and suspended the use of pyriproxyfen, pending further study.

In a communique, the state government said that “the suspension was communicated to the 19 Regional Health Coordinating Authorities, which in turn will inform the respective Municipal Monitoring services” in all cities in the state, according to Fox News Latino.

Up until now, Brazilian scientists have been attributing the increase in microcephaly to the Zika virus. However, on Sunday, Rio Grande do Sul Health Secretary Joao Gabbardo said that, despite the fact that a relationship between the larvicide and microcephaly has not been proven, the “suspicion” that there may be a linkage had led the organizations to decide to “suspend” the use of the chemical.

Also, the Monsanto affiliate, Sumitomo Chemical also claimed that “there is no scientific basis for such a claim,” adding that the product has been approved by the World Health Organization since 2004 and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency since 2001.

The fact the WHO has officially gone on record and stated that microcephaly is not linked directly to the Zika virus has been of little consequence to the Health Secretary. Also of little consequence to the Health Secretary, is that there haven’t been any cases of microcephaly attributed to the Zika virus in past outbreaks.

According to the report by PCST:

Previous Zika epidemics did not cause birth defects in newborns, despite infecting 75% of the population in those countries. Also, in other countries such as Colombia there are no records of microcephaly; however, there are plenty of Zika cases.

My understanding was that Zika is just a coverup for the birth defects caused by Monsanto's pesticides like RoundUp?

Is that a good 1 sentence summary of what is going on here?

That is what I got out of it also.

Not just that, but a fabricated reason to release genetically engineered mosquitoes. Who knows what else these bugs have been modified to do?

Not just that, but a fabricated reason to release genetically engineered mosquitoes. Who knows what else these bugs have been modified to do? and what might they mutate into?

[midnight rambler]

and what might they mutate into?

And mutate unnaturally they will, being unnatural to begin with.

[cheka.]

they have big plans for the flying needles - can we really call them mosquitos if they are mutant lab creations?

using zika crap to get them into the wild. so nobody is alarmed when people discover them.

what could 'they' be cooking up with this flying needle agenda?

Spot on!!!

[Half Sense]

Exactly. Swarms of flying hypodermic needles to deliver the bug juice to humanity. Probably aren't even insects, but tiny robots. If not they soon will be.

there is a tread started abut all this . if I am right about every thing was cover there
