About this listen
Are you afraid of Zika virus? Do you still think it is spread primarily by mosquitoes? Are you aware that other animals harbor Zika? Did you know you can infect others months or even years later?
Using current research and data on the outbreaks of the 1950s and 1970s, Dr. Maloney explains in simple terms how the spread of Zika has never been primarily by mosquitoes. They act as helpers to the human spread of the disease. Claims that the "mosquito line" will prevent anyone north or south of it from getting Zika ignores both sexual and bloodborne transmission. We will see cases far from any mosquito infestation.
But Dr. Maloney paints a different picture of the severe side effect picture for infants and pregnant mothers. He lays out a case that Zika alone does not cause the well-publicized cases of microcephaly. Some mothers are safe, and others are at high risk. If simple testing was done, the unnecessary abortions taking place in many areas could be prevented.
Zika is both more and less dangerous than we've been told. Learn quickly how to keep your family safe from Zika.
