Zika virus/microcephaly/abortion/Brazil
#18
RE: Zika virus/microcephaly/abortion/Brazil
Pyriproxyfen has been used in the USA for decades, including in flea/tick medications. While I would not draw conclusions, this seems quite unlikely to me based on the mode of action of this insecticide (it's a juvenile hormone analog, a hormone that humans don't have, only insects have it).

Could be. But it could also be something else. Zika virus does exist in other countries that do not have this high incidence of microcephaly, so I think there is a lot of information still missing.

Monsanto doesn't own pyriproxyfen, Sumitomo does, interesting how they are blamed. "Thanks Obama" has become "Thanks, Monsanto"!
Monsanto does not own Sumitomo.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
