2010 CDC Document on the Zika Virus does not Mention any Birth Defects or Microcephaly

good catch!

They're still not claiming that it causes Microcephaly. They have the disclaimer that they are still unsure of the link between Zika and Microcephaly.

I cant find any google searches with Zika causing Microcephaly prior to 2015. Most articles prior to 2015 mention mild symptoms.

From my understanding, the birth defects have only been reported in Brazil. It's not clear what the distribution of those cases are - that is, are they all from a single region or are they coming from all over.
Either way, I'm moving to Iceland.

There is a chance that some kind of environmental pollutants are causing the birth defects and the government is just covering it up.

nothing worse than a shrunken head man -
this will tug at the heart strings.
no idea as i look up i don't see any large ship in the sky so i know it's not the '3rd wave' unless they've not learned how to count, or fucked the schedule all up !
