Pyriproxyfen

If correct I would say that Pyriproxyfen is not the cause or that maybe the concentration used in the respective countries should warrant further study.

From what you have told me, we don't squirt it directly into the water supply although the product will eventually be washed into the water table and then the water supply. Concentration and the stability of the product in water over time might be worth study.

and just referring to the post...

"The group of Argentine doctors points out that during past Zika epidemics, there have not been any cases of microcephaly linked with the virus. In fact, about 75 percent of the population in countries where Zika broke out had been infected by the mosquito-borne virus.
In countries such as Colombia where there are plenty of Zika cases, there are no records of microcephaly linked to Zika, the group said."

Now that should be interesting to any scientist with an open mind. The outbreak of microcephaly was highly localised at first, and one has to wonder.

So, any scientist worth his/her salt would also consider the possibility of interactions. i.e the interaction of (say) Pyriproxyfen or any other substance that had been introduced at the time of the outbreak with the other transmission vectors like mosquitoes.

One hopes that Monsanto will look at the situation with open scientific eyes instead of just like a load of tobacco proponent paid shill scientists who just argue the toss from one point of view.

Thalidomide was wonderful stuff until it was found it wasn't. It still used today where its safe to use.

thalidomide.ca

I would hope someone would carefully check the data provided by the group of Argentine doctors.

so... to answer your question, that is what I say to anyone that asked.

What are your thoughts on the matter? .
