The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Zika virus outbreak an international public health emergency, and the Brazilian President released a decree that increased local and federal pest control agents’ access to private property required by mobilization actions for the prevention and elimination of Aedes mosquito outbreaks in the country. Brazil had 2400 localized outbreaks of babies with shrunken heads (microcephaly) and damaged brains that were born between October and December 2015 in a toxic wasteland of northern Brazil, and the theory, or perhaps the cover story, was that the virus was being caused by mosquitoes with Zika. Through the end of January 2016 the number of cases totaled 4,180.3 4
Since the harmless Zika virus has never been linked to micrcephaly or anything else serious in its 70 years of known existence, and nothing changed as far as the number of mosquitoes or the Zika virus that has been blamed for the microcephaly outbreak, it is only logical to point the finger at something else. Below, you will find 3 very likely causes backed by scientific studies linking them to microcephaly:
- The Tdap vaccine that was mandated to all expectant mothers in Brazil beginning in 2014 was linked to microcephaly in 1990 by Bobele and Bodensteiner in research they conducted;
- Two separate studies, an Argentine Doctor’s study as well as a Brazilian Health Professionals report each link a Monsanto-related pesticide as the likely cause. It was sprayed heavily in the 18-month period during the Zika-scare ironically to remedy the situation.
- A scientific study carried out by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) shows NO link between Zika Virus and microcephaly.
Dr. Bergman shows the facts and research behind the Zika virus and explains why you shouldn’t believe everything you hear on the media…
Interestingly, it is becoming clear that a large portion of those suspected cases of microcephaly in Brazil were misdiagnosed and were, in fact, not microcephaly after all.
After experts scrutinized 732 of the cases they found that more than half either weren’t microcephaly, or weren’t related to Zika.
Just 270 were confirmed as microcephaly that appears to be linked to Zika or other infectious diseases, according to the latest ministry bulletin.
It’s not yet clear whether the same pattern will emerge from the rest of the 3,448 cases that Brazil has to examine.3
Carol Adl from Your News Wire note:
The (Zika / mosquito) theory is largely based on the fact that they found the Zika virus in a baby with microcephaly following an autopsy of the dead child. The virus was also found in the amniotic fluid of two mothers whose babies had the condition.
Note that Zika is not a new virus; it has been around for decades. No explanation has been given as to why suddenly it could be causing all these cases of microcephaly. No one is seriously asking the question, “What has changed?”
On their own website, the Center for Disease Control, say:
People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika. For this reason, many people might not realize they have been infected. Once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections.
Naturalnews.com reports:
In other words, a Zika virus infection usually produces no symptoms, requires no hospitalization and builds self-immunity against future Zika exposure. The CDC refuses to describe it this way, of course, because there’s a fortune to be made spreading Zika scare stories and selling Zika vaccines to people who largely don’t need them. The visual shock factor of babies with shrunken heads makes the media frenzy an automatic success, even if those shrunken heads were caused by something else entirely.
Many doctors in South America believe that microcephaly is caused by a larvicide chemical linked to Monsanto, and that the Zika virus scare is just a cover story.
The CDC also admits it is simply guessing that Zika causes microcephaly. As admitted directly in the CDC’s article about the subject: “…no single piece of evidence provides conclusive proof that Zika virus infection is a cause of microcephaly and other fetal brain defects. Rather, increasing evidence from a number of recently published studies and a careful evaluation using established scientific criteria supports the authors’ conclusions.”
Scientific Evidence shows possible real causes:
Two health reports, released on Feb. 2nd and 3rd 2016, suggest that pyriproxyfen (a larvicide or type of insecticide used to control mosquito populations by inducing malformations in them) may be the cause of the recent rise in microcephaly. Why? Because, according to the doctors and health experts who authored the reports, there has been an increase in the use of pyriproxyfen in the last 18 months right in the areas where the microcephaly cases have increased – and the pesticide has been put into the drinking water of the affected population!
Study #1: Argentinians Doctors’ Report links Monsanto Subsidiary Pesticide
The first report comes from an Argentinian group of doctors called Medicos de Pueblos Fumigados or Doctors from Pesticide-Sprayed Towns. The report is a real eye-opener, coming from people trained in medicine and closer to the region where this is all happening. They state explicitly that “dengue epidemic in Brazil persists endemically (on an ongoing basis)”, that “this poison (pyriproxyfen) is applied by the State on [in] drinking water used by the affected population” and that “previous Zika epidemics did not cause birth defects in newborns, despite infecting 75% of the population in those countries. Also, in other countries such as Colombia there are no records of microcephaly; however, there are plenty of Zika cases.”
Here are some other interesting quotes from the report:
“The pyriproxyfen being used (as recommended by WHO) is manufactured by Sumimoto Chemical, a Japanese subsidiary of Monsanto.”
“Brazilian doctors (Abrasco) are claiming that the strategy of chemical control is contaminating the environment as well as people, that it is not decreasing the amount of mosquitoes, and that this strategy is in fact a commercial maneuver from the chemical poisons industry, deeply integrated into Latin American ministries of health as well as WHO and PAHO.”
“Massive spreading using planes, as the governments of Mercosur are considering, is criminal, useless, and a political maneuver to simulate that actions are taken. The basis of the progress of the disease lies in inequality and poverty, and the best defence are community-based actions.”
“The last strategy deployed in Brazil, and which might be replicated in all our countries, is the use of GM mosquitoes —a total failure, except for the company supplying mosquitoes.”
Did you catch that? The pesticide pyriproxyfen is being manufactured by a Japanese subsidiary of MONSANTO!
Adding another layer of suspicion is the fact that Sumitomo Chemical, the Monsanto-linked manufacturer of pyriproxyfen, claimed there is no evidence for developmental toxicity in their product, when in fact a review of their own data found this claim to be false.
Philippe Grandjean, a neurodevelopmental toxicologist affiliated with the Harvard School of Public Health, discovered “an animal test shows possible link to teratogenic effects and smaller skull.” Sumitomo failed to mention their own tests showing “low brain mass and arhinencephaly—incomplete formation of the anterior cerebral hemispheres—in rat pups.”
“Few pesticides have been properly tested for developmental neurotoxicity,” said Grandjean. “This is unfortunate as pesticides are suspected of causing a silent pandemic of neurotoxicity. In this case the absence of proper toxicological data confuses the search for causes of the reported surge in microcephaly.”
While politicians and corporate media continue to ignore the possibility that an insecticide may be causing the microcephaly outbreak in Brazil, continued application of the chemical may be aggravating the problem.
Study #2: Brazilian Health Professionals’ Report Also Points the Finger at Pesticides
The first report above references this second report from a Brazilian group called Abrasco, translated as The Brazilian Association of Graduate Studies in Collective Health. Abrasco has been around for more than 35 years. It is a group of technicians, professionals, students and teachers associated with public health in Brazil. Similarly, their report, which is only roughly translated below, states:
“In 2014 a new larvicide pyriproxyfen was introduced in the drinking water of the population in households and public roads … This larvicide is a juvenile hormone analogue or juvenoid, with the mechanism of action of inhibiting the development of insect adult characteristics (e.g. wings, maturation of the reproductive organs and external genitalia), keeping with aspect immature (nymph or larva), that acts on endocrine disruption and is teratogenic and inhibits the formation of the adult insect.”
“The invisible hand of damage to the environment and human health arising from the use of chemicals in vector control has not been properly studied or revealed to vulnerable populations, including public health workers. Its harmful effects are totally disregarded both the worsening of viruses, and in the emergence of other diseases such as allergies, immunotoxicity, cancer, hormonal disorders and neurotoxicity among others.”
“More Poisons, More Resistance, More Poisons
For example, the organophosphate insecticide temephos (commercially known as ABATE®), at 1%, was introduced in Brazil in 1968 as a larvicide in drinking water, especially in the North and Northeast of Brazil. Its impacts on people’s health has not been studied. We know that despite the fact that the mosquitos had resistance to it, it continued to be used until it ran out … despite the abundant toxicological information about it concerning potential risks to human health.”
In the wake of the spreading of the symptoms that have been associated with Zika, Brazil is now mobilizing 220,000 soldiers to try and eradicate mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. This means that tons of insecticide will be sprayed in and around homes, further exposing pregnant women and young children to brain-damaging chemicals.
A Third Study Shows No Link in Zika Virus and Microcephaly.
A scientific study carried out by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) cast 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.”
The four cases are consistent with the expected normal background rate of microcephaly–2 in 10,000. Also, there have been almost 50 microcephaly cases in Colombia up to April 28 with no connection to the Zika virus.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) have already concluded that Zika is a cause of microcephaly. However, the NEJM acknowledges that no experimental evidence exists yet to support that conclusion. Also, “no flavivirus has ever been shown definitively to cause birth defects in humans, and no reports of adverse pregnancy or birth outcomes were noted during previous outbreaks of Zika virus disease in the Pacific Islands.”
CDC’s Hijacking of Science
At the end of May, a new scientific study, “Zika and the Risk of Microcephaly,” was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (Johansson, M.A., et al.). The research scientists wrote:
Polynesia estimated that the risk of microcephaly due to ZIKV [Zika Virus] infection in the first trimester of pregnancy was 0.95 percent on the basis of eight microcephaly cases identified retrospectively in a population of approximately 270,000 people with an estimated rate of ZIKV infection of 66 percent.
Well, 0.95 percent—less than 1 percent—does not make a global pandemic. Add that lowly figure for the Tahiti strain of the virus with witness accounts in the Brazilian field labs, combined with the previous three false pandemics announced by the WHO, and the pattern of political abuse of public trust reaching for a massive wealth transfer from U.S. taxpayers to Big Pharma vaccine manufacturers is not the only disturbing trend.
What is missing from this crisis is a full-blown investigation on the potential triggers for microcephaly in that part of the world. It begins with a list of suspects and plows through a process of elimination to shorten that list until the culprits are identified.
By narrowly defining the microcephaly research only around the Zika virus is a failure of scientific duty for three global health care agencies that are supposed to report the facts on their findings. This is their false narrative. The CDC’s heightened state of alert is why the U.S. government has proposed spending $1.8 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fight the 50 year old harmless virus called Zika.9
Brazil Mandated Tdap Vaccine for all Pregnant Women 10 Months Prior to Microcephaly Outbreak
Ten months prior to the Zika virus hoax, Brazil mandated the Tdap vaccine for all pregnant women. This seems a logical link because it was linked to microcephaly, it was a change (Zika and mosquitos had both been around al ong time and no significant changes there), and it directly affects mothers. A study published in The National Center for Biotechnology Information reveals the the United Stated government has known since 1990 or ’91 that a link between Tdap and microcephaly exists. (More documentation here)
The following, written by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, sums up the findings of the research:
Among symptomatic cases, presumed causes are frequently grouped according to the timing of the suspected insult as occurring pre-, peri-, or postnatally. Prenatal factors are thought to account for 20 to 30 percent of cases. This category includes cerebral anomalies, chromosomal disorders, neurocutaneous syndromes such as tuberous sclerosis, inherited metabolic disorders, intrauterine infections, family history of seizures, and microcephaly (Bobele and Bodensteiner, 1990; Kurokawa et al., 1980;
In 2014, the Brazilian Minister of Health mandated that all expectant mothers receive the new Tdap vaccine. This meant that, at 20 weeks gestation, a vulnerable, developing young life would be exposed to aluminum adjuvant, mercury preservative, formaldehyde, antibiotics and a host of other chemicals that could damage a fetus’s developing brain and a vaccine linked to microcephaly. It’s no coincidence that birth defects have spiked in Brazil because of the toxic elements that fetuses have been exposed to.
Drug companies did not test the safety and effectiveness of giving Tdap vaccine to pregnant women before the vaccines were licensed in the U.S. and there is almost no data on inflammatory or other biological responses to this vaccine that could affect pregnancy and birth outcomes.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adequate testing has not been done in humans to demonstrate safety for pregnant women and it is not known whether the vaccines can cause fetal harm or affect reproduction capacity. The manufacturers of the Tdap vaccine state that human toxicity and fertility studies are inadequate and warn that Tdap should “be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.”
The Tdap vaccine contains pertussis ingredients that have not been fully evaluated for potential genotoxic or other adverse effects on the human fetus developing in the womb that may negatively affect health after birth, including aluminum adjuvants, mercury containing (Thimerosal) preservatives and many more bioactive and potentially toxic ingredients.
There are serious problems with outdated testing procedures for determining the potency and toxicity of pertussis vaccines and some scientists are calling for limits to be established for specific toxin content of pertussis-containing vaccines. There are no published biological mechanism studies that assess pre-vaccination health status and measure changes in brain and immune function and chromosomal integrity after vaccination of pregnant women or their babies developing in the womb.
Injuries and deaths from pertussis-containing vaccines are the most compensated claims in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and influenza vaccine injuries and deaths are the second most compensated claim.
The FDA has licensed Tdap vaccines to be given once as a single dose pertussis booster shot to individuals over 10 or 11 years old. The CDC’s recommendation that doctors give every pregnant woman a Tdap vaccination during every pregnancy—regardless of whether a woman has already received one dose of Tdap—is an off-label use of the vaccine.
A 2013 published study evaluating reports of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) following vaccination in the U. S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and in a European vaccine reaction reporting system found that pertussis containing DTaP was among the vaccines most frequently associated with brain inflammation in children between birth and age five.
Tdap is manufactured by two pharmaceutical companies: Sanofi Pasteur of France and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) of the United Kingdom.
The Sanofi Pasteur product contains aluminum phosphate, residual formaldehyde, residual glutaraldehyde, and 2-phenoxyethanola, along with the following growth mediums and process ingredients: Stainer-Scholte medium, casamino acids, dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, aluminum phosphate, modified Mueller-Miller casamino acid medium without beef heart infusion, ammonium sulfate, 2-phenoxyethanol, water for injection.
The GSK product contains aluminum hydroxide, sodium chloride, residual formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), along with the following growth mediums and process ingredients: modified Latham medium derived from bovine casein, Fenton medium containing bovine extract, formaldehyde, Stainer-Scholte liquid medium, glutaraldehyde, aluminum hydroxide.
Unsurprisingly, the Brazilian government announced on January 15, 2016 it will direct funds to a biomedical research center (Sao Paulo-based Butantan Institute) to help develop a vaccine against Zika. Development of the vaccine is expected to take 3-5 years. Again, no consideration to the irony that you may be developing a vaccine to address a problem that may have been CAUSED by a vaccine, and that that new vaccine may COMPOUND the problem. No consideration to the possibility that the answer to the problem may not be to do MORE, but rather to do LESS (simply STOP giving Tdap to pregnant women).
Genetically Modified Mosquitoes: Is Zika a bio-weapon?
Zika was first isolated in 1947 by scientists working for the Rockefeller Foundation. Zika was “discovered” in a rhesus monkey that was being held in captivity. Many people still wonder if Zika was created in the lab for experimental purposes.
For decades, Zika transmission was extremely rare. The virus didn’t start spreading until after 2012 – right after the biotech company Oxitec released genetically modified mosquitoes en masse in Brazil. Zika outbreaks quickly exploded from sites where genetically modified mosquitoes were released to combat dengue. Zika has now spread to 21 other countries and territories.
What’s appalling is that Zika virus (ATCC® VR-84™) can be purchased from ATCC labs. It was deposited by Dr. Jordi Casals-Ariet of the Rockefeller Foundation and sourced from the blood of an experimental forest sentinel rhesus monkey from Uganda in 1947.
The question remains: Is Zika virus a bio-weapon, intentionally released via genetically modified mosquito? Perhaps it wasn’t intentionally released but instead was an unintended consequence of releasing GM mosquitoes into the environment to eradicate dengue. Maybe this Zika strain is a resistant, mutant viral strain – the evolution of a mosquito-borne virus caused by a biotech experiment gone bad?
GM mosquitoes have been field tested in Brazil, Panama, the Caymen Islands, and Florida and the reports indicate that the GM mosquitoes have reduced the mosquito population by 90-96%. The GE mosquitoes produced by Oxitec
It is also worth noting that environmental degradation and poverty play a part in mosquito-borne outbreaks such as Zika. Dino Martins, a Kenyan entomologist, said that “the explosion of mosquitoes in urban areas, which is driving the Zika crisis” is caused by “a lack of natural diversity that would otherwise keep mosquito populations under control, and the proliferation of waste and lack of disposal in some areas which provide artificial habitat for breeding mosquitoes.”
Conclusion
There is already an epidemic of microcephaly in the U.S., and it has been around since long before we ever started hearing about Zika. According to a study published in 2009 in the journal Neurology:
Microcephaly may result from any insult that disturbs early brain growth and can be seen in association with hundreds of genetic syndromes. Annually, approximately 25,000 infants in the United States will be diagnosed with microcephaly (head circumference <-2 SD).10
That is 25,000 per year in a country with a population of just under 323 million.11 Compare that with, at most, 3,500 cases in Brazil—a country of about 209 million people.12 Who has the real crisis on its hands? Then there’s that elephant in the room that must be addressed. Zika is not considered to be endemic to the U.S., but the country has an awful lot of microcephaly. What’s causing it? On the other hand, Colombia has reported that 25,645 people, including 3,177 pregnant women, have been infected with the Zika virus, but there are no reported cases of microcephaly.13 14 Why not?
Could it possibly be that we’ve gotten so worked up about Zika and all those bothersome mosquitoes that we have neglected to look elsewhere for the cause of the microcephaly? Is it because the big pharma industry is protected by the politicians that receive favors and big campaign contributions from them.
This article demonstrate that the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and Big Pharma have been completely corrupted and do not serve the best interests of the public. This has been ongoing for many years. Perhaps, since the inception of the CDC itself. Big Pharma has already manipulated the court system for complete immunity from liability for vaccines dating back to the Reagan administration. Continual conflicts of interest surround the CDC and WHO, receiving funding from the pharmaceutical industry, allowing them to conduct their own studies and dictate standards, and keeping a swinging door of employment for top officials.
But again, the Zika virus is a largely symptomless, basically harmless virus that has been the scapegoat for chemical pesticides, Tdap vaccines, and genetically modified mosquitoes that are likely all three causing the microcephaly that’s been inaccurately linked to the Zika virus.
1947 Rockefeller Patent Shows Origins of the Zika Virus
Zika is a flavivirus. Most viruses in this family are carried by arthropods — mosquitoes and ticks. We’ve known about Zika virus since at least 1947, when researchers from the Rockefeller Foundation put a rhesus monkey in a cage in the middle of Zika Forest of Uganda. The team was conducting surveillance for yellow fever. But “Rhesus 766” would ultimately become the first known carrier of Zika virus. (It remains unconfirmed if monkeys or other animals are consistent carriers — or reservoirs — for the disease).
The virus is also marketed by two companies, LGC Standards (headquartered in the UK) and ATCC (headquartered in the US).
As Gulliaume Kress from Global Research writes:
The LGC Group is:
…the UK’s designated National Measurement Institute for chemical and bioanalytical measurements and an international leader in the laboratory services, measurement standards, reference materials, genomics and proficiency testing marketplaces.
One of its branches, LGC Standards, is:
…a leading global producer and distributor of reference materials and proficiency testing schemes. Headquartered in Teddington, Middlesex, UK, LGC Standards has a network of dedicated sales offices extending across 20 countries in 5 continents and more than 30 years experience in the distribution of reference materials. These high quality products and services are essential for accurate analytical measurement and quality control, ensuring sound decisions are made based on reliable data. We have an unparalleled breadth of ISO Guide 34 accredited reference material production in facilities at 4 sites across the UK, the US and Germany.
LGC Standards entered into a partnership with ATCC, of which the latter is:
…the premier global biological materials resource and standards organization whose mission focuses on the acquisition, authentication, production, preservation, development, and distribution of standard reference microorganisms, cell lines, and other materials. While maintaining traditional collection materials, ATCC develops high quality products, standards, and services to support scientific research and breakthroughs that improve the health of global populations.
This “ATCC-LGC Partnership” is designed to facilitate:
…the distribution of ATCC cultures and bioproducts to life science researchers throughout Europe, Africa, and India and […] to make access to the important resources of ATCC more easily accessible to the European, African, and Indian scientific communities through local stock holding of more than 5,000 individual culture items supported by our local office network delivering the highest levels of customer service and technical support.
Where Do Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Fit Into The Picture?
A recent article published by The Antimedia first brought to the world’s attention the fact that millions of of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes had been released in Brazil. This is where Oxitec first unveiled its large-scale, genetically modified mosquito farm in July 2012 with the goal of reducing the incidence of dengue fever.
Oxitec has already released a large number of GM olive flies that were used to kill off wild pests that damage crops. In the Cayman Islands, 3 million GM mosquitoes were released, and in this case over 90 percent of the original natural native mosquito population was suppressed. The same results were also seen in Brazil. (source)
On the other side of the coin, genetically modified mosquitoes are now being proposed as a solution to stop the spread of such viruses. Livescience recently published an article alluding to that, as did The Globe and Mail, while other media sources, such as RT news, are reporting that these GM mosquitoes could be linked to the virus.
It is difficult to separate fact from fiction here. The point is, however, that when it comes to GM insects, there are many things to be concerned about, one being, what happens if someone receives a bite from one of these mosquitoes?
“Will their GM DNA be injected into your arm or leg? Oxitec has counteracted this objection by stating they only plan to release male mosquitoes, which don’t bite. This again sounds good in theory… but in reality, sorting millions of insects according to sex is no small feat. And even FKMCD notes that although ‘every effort is made to release only males,’ Oxitec trials show that .03 percent of the mosquitoes released are female.” -Dr. Joseph Mercola (source)
If you think about it, with millions of mosquitoes released, we are still talking about thousands of mosquitoes that can bite. Estimates of genetically modified insects that have been released into the environment are between 50-100 million. What about the environmental health impacts report? And what about the synthetic DNA from the bites? Who is tracking all of this stuff, and how exactly do you track it? Why are we just assuming everything is okay, without any evidence to back it up?
The potential exists for these genes, which hop from one place to another, to infect human blood by finding entry through skin lesions or inhaled dust. Such transmission could potentially wreak havoc with the human genome by creating “insertion mutations” and other unpredictable types of DNA damage. (source)
According to Alfred Handler, a geneticist at the Agriculture Department in Hawaii, mosquitoes can develop resistance to the lethal gene and might then be released inadvertently. (source)
Todd Shelly, an entomologist for the Agriculture Department in Hawaii, said 3.5 percent of the insects in a laboratory test survived to adulthood, despite presumably carrying the lethal gene. (source)
Another factor to consider is this:
Tetracycline and other antibiotics are now showing up in the environment, in soil and surface water samples. These GM mosquitoes were designed to die in the absence of tetracycline (which is introduced in the lab in order to keep them alive long enough to breed). They were designed this way assuming they would NOT have access to that drug in the wild. With tetracycline exposure (for example, in a lake) these mutant insects could actually thrive in the wild, potentially creating a nightmarish scenario. (source)
Dr Helen Wallace, director of GeneWatch UK, warned about the GM fruit flies that were released a couple of years ago:
Releasing Oxite’s GM fruit flies is a deeply flawed approach to reducing numbers of these pests, because large numbers of their offspring will die as maggots in the fruit. Not only does this fail to protect the crop, millions of GM fruit fly maggots (most dead, but some alive) will enter the food chain where they could pose risks to human health and the environment. Oxitec’s experiments should not go ahead until rules for safety testing and plans for labelling and segregation of contaminated fruits have been thoroughly debated and assessed. If these issues are ignored, growers could suffer serious impacts on the market for their crops. (source)
It’s also important to note that there is there is no specific regulatory process for GM insects anywhere in the world.
Wallace went on to state that:
Regulatory decisions on GM insects in Europe and around the world are being biased by corporate interests as the UK biotech company Oxitec has infiltrated decision-making processes around the world. The company has close links to the multinational pesticide and seed company, Syngenta. Oxitec has already made large-scale open releases of GM mosquitoes in the Cayman Islands, Malaysia and Brazil and is developing GM agricultural pests, jointly with Syngenta. (source)(source)
“The public will be shocked to learn that GM insects can be released into the environment without any proper oversight. Conflicts of interest should be removed from all decision making processes to ensure the public have a proper say about these plans.” – Dr Helen Wallace, Director of GeneWatch UK (source)
Environmental NGOs like Greenpeace suggest that GM insects could have unintended and wide ranging impacts on the environment and human health due to the complexity of ecosystems and the high number of unknown factors which make risk assessment difficult. These companies have raised a number of concerns which include: (source)
- New insects or diseases may fill ecological niche left by the insects suppressed or replaced, possibly resulting in new public health or agricultural problems
- The new genes engineered into the insects may jump into other species, a process called horizontal transfer, causing unintended consequences to the ecosystem
- Releases would be impossible to monitor and irreversible, as would any damage done to the environment
A briefing done by these organizations also shows that Oxitec is trying to influence regulatory processes for GM insects, that they: (source)
- Don’t want to be liable for any complications
- Try to avoid any regulation of GM agricultural pests on crops appearing in the food chain
- Exclude important issues from risk assessments, like the impact on human health
- Release of large amounts of GM insects prior to regulations
- Undermining the requirement to obtain informed consent for experiments involving insect species which transmit disease
Zika Bioweapon Studies by the CDC
The CDC has engineered and patented chimeric Zika viruses on the dengue virus (DENV) sub-type 2 (D2) PDK-53 vaccine backbone (D2 PDK-53) for potential development of a live-attenuated Zika vaccine. The cDNA genetic clones for the chimeric constructs have been successfully engineered, and scientists in the gain-of-function bioweapons labs (funded by the DoD’s DTRA) are in the process of deriving infectious chimeric D2 PDK-53/Zika viruses. (via NIH.gov)
CDC scientists have also successfully engineered and patented cDNA clones for the chimeric constructs based on a West Nile (WN) Virus NY99 genetic backbone and recovered three fast-growth chimeric WN/Zika viruses. These chimeric viruses replicate significantly faster and produce a more uniform virus population than the parental wild-type Zika virus from cell culture. (via NIH.gov)
