It has nothing to do with Zika.

They began adding a pesticide called pyriproxyfen to the water supply in Brazil.

Zika was another fake pandemic.

I'm guessing not. Pyriproxyfen is recommended for use in drinking water by the WHO, but microcephaly was restricted mostly to Brazil, and within Brazil, mostly to Bahia.

But it is true that it might not be Zika.

It's certainly not the fake Zika pandemic.

And it's very interesting that you pointed out that the WHO is pushing for this pesticide to be added to the drinking water.

Anyone who trusts the WHO in 2022 is a volunteering candidate for the Darwin award.

I admire your confidence. But they may well be related, with the noise from different standards of diagnosing microcephaly.

And it's very interesting that you pointed out that the WHO is pushing for this pesticide to be added to the drinking water.

The point being that a metric shitload of water supplies have this pesticide.

FFS.

Source?

You want the link to the WHO recommendation?

Or you don't believe that more than one region of one country follows the WHO recommendations?

No. Find a link to a country that currently adds this to their drinking water without uses.

Water treatment is generally a local government thing.

It's one of 7 insecticides that the WHO recommends as allowable in drinking water. There will be a metric fuckton of towns and cities around Africa, South America and South East Asia where there is a malaria or dengue (or Zika) problem.

I don't have a list of which cities use which one.

So you're just making things up.

Par for the course.

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

That will be true. The pesticides recommended by the WHO will be the ones used. And there will be fucktons of instances.
