Title: President Obama Wants $1.8 billion for Zika Virus
Topic: Zika Virus
Discussed by Angela Logomasini
with Competitive Enterprise Institute www.cei.org
President Obama wants $1.8 Billion to fight the Zika virus. Will any of that
money be used to kill babies?
New guest, Angela Logomasini, is with the Environmental Risk, Regulation, and
Consumer Freedom Department within the Competitive Enterprise Institute. She
also manages Safe Chemical Policy http://www.safechemicalpolicy.org/ and is a
Senior Fellow at Independent Women’s Forum. We do like to have
our experts on the show, you know!
First, Angela Logomasini explains what the Zika virus is for those that might be
unfamiliar with the details. “For most people, it is short-term and temporary.
The concern is about it being connected with brain damage in infants in Brazil,”
she says. One point she brings up is the lack of pesticide use due to
environmentalists’ screaming about its “harmful side effects”.
Is the pandemic scare really necessary, though? Angela uses the term
“vector-borne” to describe how the Zika virus is spread, similar to Malaria and
Dengue and even West Nile and Lyme disease. It refers to any disease transmitted
by bugs, usually mosquitoes. In third-world countries, the effects of
vector-borne diseases can be catastrophic. Even here in America, the problems
are not adequately addressed, she believes.
Listen in as Angela Logomasini discusses the Zika virus further, how it is
transmitted, short-term and long-term effects, and what we can expect to see in
the coming months. One thing Angela recommends is more use of mosquito nets,
insect repellant, and education around the world; aborting babies is not the
answer. For more on the Zika virus and other similar issues, check out
Competitive Enterprise Institute.
