Just get out the DDT. We were just fine with that. Or start breeding bats.
A small step to making America great again.
Good. It is worth it if it only causes the libtards heads to explode.
Agenda alert.
It takes years to develop a vaccine. Federal money along the way is typically a drop in the bucket except in the case of expenditures for emergency stockpiles of vaccines that have been in the works for years. Federal money spent this year, when Zika was identified as a large threat, can't reasonably be expected to lead to a vaccine for years into the future.
Worse stuff was fogged from trucks every mosquito season where I grew up. It’s nothing to worry about. For those concerned when the spraying starts, go indoors for a few minutes. The spray will fall to the ground fast enough.
Spraying or fogging is the best way to inhibit or stop the spread of mosquito-born diseases, by the way.
Have mercy. Americans lining up like lambs to the slaughter over a non-existent Zika outbreak. Can I get a baaaaa?
That can’t be a real picture. We’ve been told that there is no such thing as chemtrails. And we all know the government wouldn’t lie.
Florida has a history of taking Illegal, but effective, steps when faced with a threat to their tourist industry. Otherwise they really don’t care.
I think it was the 1980s or early 1990s and there were a rash of killings of foreign tourists (i.e., the ones with bank), by members of their ‘Amish’ community. Those people rounded up, searched, and basically treated in a way that would have made Rudy Giuliani blush - and this was by a DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR. But that did end the killings. Seems that money talks and Foreign Lives Matter...much more than black or any other color.
So now it’s time for Zika...if this continues and starts affecting tourism expect some REALLY NASTY chemicals (i.e., chemicals that will kill you in 500 years if you drink a gallon a day). Chemicals not only banned by the EPA, but also banned by the UN. And, like the Amish killings, expect the problem to quickly end.
Even though there have been Zika cases reported, there have been no babies born in the US with microcephaly alleged caused by the Zika virus save the one woman from some county in South America who flew to New York City to give birth.
How can the government fix this “problem” to get more taxpayer dollars for the CDC? Simple, spray a neurotoxin which will kill mosquitos but which will also be breathed by pregnant women.
I grew in south Florida in the early 70’s and I remember the helicopters spraying the neighborhood on a regular basis, we always ran indoor when this happened.
I have a neighbor who is a landscaper. He was telling me the other day that he was bathed in DDT all the time in his younger years. He says mosquitos still don’t touch him, even when they’re bugging his wife. He’s in his 70’s now, healthy and still working.
He did also say DDT was very hard on the bird population, that certain types of bird numbers were decimated and it took years for some to come back. Just an anecdotal story, but interesting.
We don’t have any spraying where I live. One of my neighbors chastised me a number of years ago because when he walked his dog past our property he was beseiged by mosquitos.
We now have two bug-zappers in our front yard. They are incredibly effective.
Too bad they can’t use somthing nice and safe, like DDT.
The whole Zika crisis is a bureaucratic criminal joke. A year ago the CDC could have instituted a travel ban to and from Brazil and then arranged assistance through the Dept. of Agriculture or State to attack Zika at its source.
But nooooooo, they sat in there offices and schemed to extort money from Congress for their “Turn you kids queer” and “Count your parents guns” programs along with the usual grants to buddies program.
So now their buddies are getting huge no-compete contracts to spray ineffective sprays on the ground and from the air in addition to the door-to-door testing. Doctors incomes are up significantly for unnecessary pat-on-the-head visits.
Notice any similarity between the Zika crisis and the Ebola crisis? I mean even down to the TV rent-a-docs (La Poop, etc.) crying out the end of the world is near if they don’t get their multi-billion dollar slush fund.
DDT is for girls
Heptachlor and Mirex
Bath em in it
It takes a lot more ineffective pesticide spray to fail... suppliers will probably jack up the price according to the increased demand.
out of concern a few people may contract a neuro disease - they’ll spray a neurotoxic chemical on everyone - - that’s ‘equality” the demRAT way
