We should throw them all out for even having this discussion.
These babies, born with birth defects caused by Zika, may be gone from the news in a short time but will live with us a lifetime. We will support them and their families. Perhaps the Republicans can start putting together an aide bill for families who have a child affected by the Zika virus.

Do you think the Zika bill is only about pesticides?

Also, any pesticide used must be in compliance with the “Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act."

I have never been against a bill that helps the people out as opposed to the corporations which is all this bill does.

Great, so you're going to put your belief behind an individual conspiracy theorist with zero medical research training rather than scientific medical research conducted by hundreds of scientists worldwide. Good little conservative. That ignorance must feel really satisfying. If only people like you had been in charge when it came to things like polio, tuberculosis, or smallpox. We'd all be in much better shape today.

Mainly in Africa. Estimates range with a mean somewhere around 11K.

We were quaranting people over ebola because it was such a threat.

What happened? On to the next disaster. In a few weeks this one will be completely forgotten also.

Ebola outbreak could have 'catastrophic' consequences

Catastrophic I tell you, catastrophic.

Opinions and *******s. Have to have something to be treasonous against. Fact still remains the US was the ones committing crimes against the constitution by not allowing states to freely choose to remain or stay. CSA was a sovereign country that was attacked. I am in no mood to deal with ignorance today....so...
