***UPDATE***
Brazil Ends Monsanto Linked Pesticide Use to Fight Zika After It’s Exposed as Cause of Birth Defects
And as can be expected, Sumitomo Chemical (Monsanto affiliate) also claimed that “there is no scientific basis for such a claim"
One way to find out
Stop using the chemical pyriproxyfen, and see what happens in say 5 years or so, however long it takes to be rid of
If Zika virus has been around since 1947 there about, then something new has caused a spike in the virus
Like say, oh I don't know, adding pyriproxyfen to the state of Pernambuco’s drinking-water reservoirs in 2014.
Yeah, that might be too much of a coincidence for Monsanto
Never before has the zika virus caused this many birth defects in all these years until now
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out
Oh but deny, deny, deny Monsanto/Sumitomo
You guys are good at that
Whether it is about GMO, herbicide glyphosate in Round up or now pyriproxyfen
All Monsanto cares about is the almighty dollar, not the public saftey of humans or the environment
Wish our government cared as much as Brazil
But monsanto is crony buddys with our fed agencies, not to mention part of them
Brazil Ends Monsanto Linked Pesticide Use to Fight Zika After It’s Exposed as Cause of Birth Defects
Quote:In a move that would never happen in America, the Brazilian government actually listened to the group of doctors and suspended the use of pyriproxyfen, pending further study.
In a communique, the state government said that “the suspension was communicated to the 19 Regional Health Coordinating Authorities, which in turn will inform the respective Municipal Monitoring services” in all cities in the state, according to Fox News Latino.
Up until now, Brazilian scientists have been attributing the increase in microcephaly to the Zika virus. However, on Sunday, Rio Grande do Sul Health Secretary Joao Gabbardo said that, despite the fact that a relationship between the larvicide and microcephaly has not been proven, the “suspicion” that there may be a linkage had led the organizations to decide to “suspend” the use of the chemical.
“We cannot run that risk,” Gabbardo said.
Of course, this news is being met with backlash by those who have advocated adding this larvicide to the water supply.
Quote:The chemical, pyriproxyfen, was added to the state of Pernambuco’s drinking-water reservoirs in 2014, by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, in an effort to stop the proliferation of the Zika-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquito.
The report by PCST revealed that the pesticide, sold under the commercial name SumiLarv, is manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a Japanese subsidiary of Monsanto.
And as can be expected, Sumitomo Chemical (Monsanto affiliate) also claimed that “there is no scientific basis for such a claim"
