Massive New Study Suggests Pesticide the Cause of Microcephaly — NOT Zika Virus
Massive New Study Suggests Pesticide the Cause of Microcephaly — NOT Zika Virus
A new scientific study
carried out by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) is
casting doubt on the assumed connection between the Zika virus and
microcephaly. The study was prompted by the fact that no similar
epidemics of microcephaly are being found in other countries hit hard by
the Zika virus.
“Recently, the New England Journal of Medicine published
the preliminary results of a large study of pregnant Colombian women
infected with Zika. Of the nearly 12,000 pregnant women with
clinical symptoms of Zika infections until March 28, no cases of
microcephaly were reported as of May 2. At the same time, four
cases of Zika and microcephaly were reported for women who were
symptomless for Zika infections and therefore not included in the study
itself.”
