in case you didn't realize it, we were talking about members of congress. but I'm grateful that you managed to track down a single poster who thought/thinks zika is not real (second link doesn't claim that, only attributes conspiracy theory aspects to it).
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, said, "The big disagreement that we have and the difficulty we deal with is- should every time a billion-dollar or $2 billion project comes along, do we just borrow the money?"So what did our Congress do in response to the word that Zika is coming to the United States? It recessed.
....In response, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers (R-Ky.) complained that the White House hasn’t given Congress enough information on what, specifically, the $1.9 billion would be used for....
yet- The formal 25-page appropriations request is here, and it sure doesn't look like a slush fund. It looks like a detailed request for specific funding to fight the spread of Zika Republicans Apparently Think Zika Only Affects Blue States | Mother Jones
Republicans are opposed to spending any additional money to push the country further into debt — and are yet to be convinced that Zika will really impact the United States ...The House’s legislation has frustrated even some Republicans. “Quite frankly, that’s just not going to cut it,” said Sen.

they do not think ZIKA is a real threat-
no. they disagree about funding specifics.
still no congressmen who think it's 'not real.'
Try CBS New York. She was diagnosed prior to coming to the US. Her test results were sent to the CDC prior to arriving and she has family in the area and wanted further treatment.
We shouldn't be admitting people with infectious diseases, not even as tourists. Not even on a humanitarian basis.
