Musing of  local environmentalist Kammie Holder.

Many laughed at me when I did the 350PPM ride to highlight the optimal Carbon Dioxide emission the earth needs to return to for global warming to be under control, yet it’s what COP21 was about in 2015.

Many laughed at the tour I did of illegal dump sites where 100 tyres with mosquitoes where found.

Zika is upon us with the US CDC issuing a travel advisory against countries with cases. Unfortunately, many are not reporting that this mosquito born disease also causing paralysis in adults.  Hopefully, some day the lazy indifferent decision makers will learn the importance of the proactive approach. I guess they are waiting until the planes start arriving empty to act.

    AC…you will continue to spout that rubbish until an Aedes Aegypti loaded with Zika bites you in your rear end and makes you too ill to ignore that right now it’s Bajans also being affected.

    Did Ebola ever reach Barbados AC.

    Here is where Caribbean governments after reading this excerpt, should actually start doing the jobs they are mandated to do, use their brains and cut down on their tourism dependency, which sane and intelligent people have known for years, is a double edged sword, but the greed and laziness in the politician would not allow them to move forward.

    When your self imposed only money earner is gone because of the spread of disease, don’t you think you should try other things. And note, given the amount of tourists always wandering around the islands, they could very well be the ones the mosquitoes are using to transmit the disease person to person, creating havoc for the industry……..

    “While Tourism related travel is the Caribbean’s major economic earner, it also contributes to disease spread. The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) indicated a record 26.3 million stay over tourists and 24.5M cruise ship arrivals in 2014, a 5.3 percent rise over 2013, and this trend continued in 2015.

    These visitors spent US$29.2 billion, another record for Caribbean tourism.

    The US continues to be the region’s primary market, with nearly 13 million Americans, just under half of the total arrivals to the region.

    However, high and increasing levels of visitor arrivals increase the potential risk for visitors and locals transmitting or acquiring diseases from each other.

    This was typified by SARs in 2000, the H1N1 pandemic of 2009, Chikungunya in 2013 and now Zika.”

    Zika fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by Zika virus (ZIKV), consisting of mild fever, rash (mostly maculo-papular), headaches, arthralgia, myalgia, asthenia, and non-purulent conjunctivitis, occurring about two to seven days after the mosquito vector bite. One out of four people may develop symptoms, but in those who are affected the disease is usually mild with symptoms that can last between two and seven days. Its clinical manifestation is often similar to dengue, also a mosquito-borne illness.

    Do you even know what Myalgia is…try googling Fibromyalgia and see how devastatingly ill being infected with Zika virus can make a person who already suffers with the preexisting condition which has no cure.


  6. Background

    Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus closely related to dengue virus. It was first isolated from a rhesus monkey in Zika forest, Uganda in 1947, in mosquitoes (Aedes africanus) in the same forest in 1948 and in humans in Nigeria in 1954. Zika virus is endemic in parts of Africa and Asia and was first identified in the South Pacific after an outbreak on Yap Island in the Federated States of Micronesia in 2007.

    The fact that is virus has been around for many years and there has never been an interest to finding a vaccine is abhorrent and inexcusable .
    but also can support evidence that the virus is not of catastrophic disaster as now being issued by the CDC
    These warnings although necessary have been very effective to delivering messages of fear which can be disastrous for the economies of small nation islands

    “Zika virus” veroorzaakt door vaccin. Weer een nieuwe media leugen, wanneer stopt het?

    Another perspective on the devastating Microcephaly. …and all should be looked at, some is written in Dutch, but most In English.

    Dit artikel is 25624 keer gelezen!

    We staan weer aan de vooravond van de Olympische Spelen.

    Massaal zullen mensen weer afreizen naar Brazilië. Wordt het geen tijd voor een nieuw vaccin? De reclamecampagnes draaien op volle toeren dat een zogenaamde mug het Zika virus verspreid. Het hieronder geplaatste artikel in het Engels laat een heel andere oorzaak ziek. Namelijk de schade van vaccineren.

    THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE VACCINE/SHRUNKEN BABY BRAIN REPORT THAT MUST BE FIXED.

    A woman who is currently pregnant showed me her medical schedule. The vaccine is not MMR. It is Diptheria, Tetanus and Influenza in Mexico, and in Brazil it is Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis (Tdap).

    It will be VERY important for people who have posted MMR (this got reposted a lot) to change this to Tdap. I have confirmed that Brazil just got a new Tdap shot, which is the likely culprit. This report will remain unchanged, except for MMR to be replaced with TDAP. I knew it was a three way vaccine and errored with MMR, that is not what it is. THIS REPORT WILL NOW BE CORRECTED TO REFLECT THIS.

    UPDATE: THIS SHRUNKEN BRAIN PROBLEM DIRECTLY COINCIDES WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW TDAP VACCINE IN BRAZIL, WHICH WAS ANNOUNCED IN DEC 2014 AND WENT INTO USE IN 2015. IRREVOCABLY BUSTED, From the National Institute of Health:

    I have top posted the Tdap vaccine scam so people who were on vacation when this first went up can find it. NEW Tdap VACCINE THAT DESTROYS BABIES WHILE THE MOTHER IS PREGNANT HAS BEEN RELEASED, AND THE RESULTS ARE DEVASTATING

    RED ALERT: A NEW TAINTED Tdap VACCINE HAS SUDDENLY CAUSED THOUSANDS OF BABIES IN BRAZIL TO BE BORN WITH FAR UNDERSIZED BRAINS IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS ALONE

    “when these facts are added to the fact that the Zika virus has never done anything prior but cause a mild cold, suddenly blaming it for thousands of shrunken baby brains is outright medical fraud.

    They are now fronting brain damage caused by a newly formulated Tdap vaccine as a “Zika virus outbreak”. Problem: The Zika virus, which has been known about for 70 years, has never done anything to babies while the mother was pregnant. Zika results in a mild cold and is all over the world now doing nothing to anyone with a mortality rate of ZERO. QUESTION: why did it suddenly blow the brains out of thousands of babies in ONE LOCATION – Brazil in the past two months alone when ZERO reported cases of this outcome have ever been recorded prior? ANSWER: Because a new Tdap vaccine, which was spawned to destroy babies before they were born rather than after birth (due to the new awareness that autism is caused by intentionally destructive vaccines) was launched in Brazil in May of 2015. Gates&Cohorts now need a scapegoat to pin the damage on, and “ZIKA” sounded spooky enough.

    UPDATE: REFERENCES WHICH PROVE THE SHRUNKEN BRAINS ARE Tdap VACCINE CAUSED AND NOT BECAUSE OF ANY ZIKA VIRUS ARE NOW SCREEN CAPTURED AND EMBEDDED BELOW THIS REPORT, (and there are plenty of other references that prove this if you go out an look for them.)

    Tdap induced shrunken brains: The new autism.

    The new “Autism”, titled “Microcephaly” has suddenly smashed it’s way into delivery rooms overnight and destroyed more than 2,400 Brazilian newborn babies en utero in only the past 2 months with ZERO DESTROYED IN THE MONTHS PRIOR. The false reason is stated to be caused when a pregnant mother is bitten by the mosquito carried African zika virus, which recently “made it’s debut” in Brazil in 2015. This is an obvious bold faced lie, because the pattern of symptoms does not match the virus which has been proven to have infected humans since 1954 and has never previously been associated with shrunken brains in newborn babies, nor does the geographic propagation pattern match the natural propagation pattern of a mosquito carried virus that would cause undersized brains in newborn babies if it really did exist.

    This “shrunken brain” issue in newborns was just suddenly in Brazil as if someone flipped a switch, and the only way that could reallyhappen is via the sudden arrival of a new brain destroying Tdap vaccine, which all pregnant Latin American women are strongly encouraged to get before week 22 of pregnancy. This sudden occurrence of shrunken brains perfectly matches the probable arrival of the real culprit – a tainted Tdap vaccine, which if administered in May (when this virus supposedly arrived) would be causing precisely the shrunken newborn baby brain problems Brazilians are having now, right on schedule.

    The claim is that a mosquito naturally carried this disease across almost all of South and Central America in only six months. This defies all logic because mosquitoes have a life cycle that is too long for immediate propagation and won’t fly more than a mile from where they hatch, which would limit the movement of a totally new disease to a mile or so a month, not 30 miles a day. A continent wide outbreak of a totally new virus is not the same thing as an outbreak of malaria, which is already everywhere and only needs the correct conditions to bring it forward.

    As standing proof of the impossibility any totally new host/carrier/host dependent disease could naturally propagate so rapidly, just look at how long it took the killer bee which needs no intermediate host to propagate through south and central America. It took the killer bee decades to do so and bees can fly miles in a day. And the killer bee was not host dependent, which in the case of the Zika virus, which is host dependent might permanently quarantine such a virus to a small area via demography alone. Additionally, if the zika virus spread so readily, it should have made it to Brazil from Africa during the first periods of air traffic 50 years ago, traveling to Brazil via infected passengers, who would then pass it along to the Brazilian mosquitoes. If it was as contagious as they claim, and it really did shrink baby brains, it should have been decades old news.

    ADDITIONALLY, AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT SOME OF THE NEWS RELEASES RELATED TO THIS “DISEASE” WERE ORIGINALLY DATED WEEKS INTO THE FUTURE, WHICH MEANS SOMEONE IS DOING IT AND THE MEDIA RELEASE WAS PRE PLANNED, TO MAKE THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE APPEAR TO SPAN MORE THAN A YEAR, WHEN IT HAS NOT.

    The first undersized brains from Tdap vaccines and NOT this disease were first seen in Brazil IN NOVEMBER OF 2015. IF SO, I’d like an explanation for how this virus, which has NEVER been associated with small brains before suddenly caused more than 2,400 children in Brazil to be born with undersized brains SINCE NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR and has now been pinned to RECENTLY BORN babies with undersized brains in far away Mexico, when according to the story it arrived in Mexico in November of 2015? THERE IS NO WAY IN * THIS DISEASE WENT FROM BRAZIL TO PERU TO MEXICO TO ALL ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN IN ONLY SIX MONTHS UNLESS SOMEONE DID IT BY INTENT, OR THERE IS NO ZIKA DISEASE AT ALL, AND IT IS ALL A VACCINE SCAM, SPREAD RAPIDLY VIA REFRIGERATED BOEING JUMBO JETS.

    Here is the wiki:

    “In May 2015, Brazil officially reported its first 16 cases of the illness.[9] According to the Brazilian Health Ministry, as of November 2015 there was no official count of the number of people infected with the virus in Brazil, the disease being not subject to compulsory notification. Even so, cases were reported in 14 States of the country. Mosquito-borne Zika virus is suspected to be the cause of 2,400 cases of microcephaly and 29 infant deaths in Brazil in 2015.[10]” interesting, when it has never been associated with that before!

    “The emergence of Zika virus in South America led to a rapid spread throughout South and Central America, reaching Mexico in November 2015”

    My response: Yep, it is in Wikipedia, which anyone can write to, including those involved in this plot, and they can just make it all look normal. Yep, symbiotic host/carrier/host diseases just rip across continents to all corners in months, faster than a bush tribesman could travel! IT REALLY IS THAT WAY, Wikipedia said so!

    REALITY: This is a host/carrier/host disease which requires new mosquitos to be born before it can spread. This makes it absolutely impossible for it to rip across the entirety of Latin America, from Chile to Brazil to Mexico in only six months. It would take DECADES for that process to complete. But 20 Boeing jets could carry the real brain shrinking cause via vaccines to all corners of Latin America in only 12 hours, with the zika mosquito being a convenient scapegoat for the devastation that followed.

    Here is another wiki quote:

    “The first human cases were reported in Nigeria in 1954.[3] A few outbreaks have been reported in tropical Africa and in some areas in Southeast Asia.[4]

    By using phylogenetic analysis of Asian strains it was estimated that Zika virus had moved to Southeast Asia by 1945.[2] In 1977 – 1978 Zika virus infection was described as a cause of fever in Indonesia.[5]

    The first major outbreak, with 185 confirmed cases, was reported in 2007 in the Yap Islands of the Federated States of Micronesia.[6] A total of 108 cases were confirmed by PCR or serology and 72 additional cases were suspected. The most common symptoms were rash, fever, arthralgia and conjunctivitis, and no deaths were reported. The mosquito Aedes hensilli, which was the predominant species identified in Yap during the outbreak, was probably the main vector of transmission. While the way of introduction of the virus on Yap Island remains uncertain, it is likely to have happened through introduction of infected mosquitoes or a viraemic human with a strain related to those in Southeast Asia.[2][6] This was also the first time Zika fever had been reported outside Africa and Asia.[7]”

    My response: ALL OF THAT, AND IT WAS NEVER ASSOCIATED WITH SHRUNKEN BABY BRAINS UNTIL IT HIT BRAZIL, WHERE IT JUST SUDDENLY WHACKED THE BABY BRAINS OUT OF 2400 PREGNANT MOMS! See what I am getting at here? And if they change things, and say this disease has a history of shrinking baby brains, remember, up until now IT WAS NOT SO, so something else is causing the brain destroyed babies, it is not any “zika disease”, something else is causing it and I guess they figured “zika” sounded spooky enough to blame it all on while they proceed to blow baby brains out with pre-natal pregnancy vaccinations. In many Latin American countries, women are strongly encouraged to get the Tdap vaccine no more than 22 weeks into a pregnancy. Since the story line behind the Zika explanation is patent bullshit, another vector is being used, which leaves only the previously harmless Tdap vaccine as the only available real “shrunken brain” transmission vector, BET ON IT.

    Additionally, they would never release such a disease with the mosquito as the carrier, because the tribe is everywhere, Kikedom has infiltrated all corners of the earth and they won’t make themselves vulnerable to their own weapon. That means their weapon has to stay safely within needles and vials, to be separated out by marking “Ashkenazi” on the race card questionnaire handed out by every single hospital they will ever go to. Those who identify their race as “Asheknazi” will get a differently sourced vaccine.

    Ok so to sum this up:

    Prior to 2015, the Zika virus was never associated with shrunken brains in newborn babies.
    The propagation pattern is impossible, no mosquito borne disease that requires and intermediate host can get to all corners of a continent in only six months. Such a rapid propagation would require the disease to move 33 miles a day, day after day. Mosquitos do not breed, infect, lay eggs and hatch young to re-infect any faster than two weeks and won’t fly more than half a mile during their lives, and if movement of people could spread it so fast, it would have happened decades ago. This disease might take six months to go 30 miles, not go 30 miles in a day!
    The Zika virus has been known about since the 1950’s, and requires a carrier host during it’s life cycle. If it is so contagious it can rip across a continent via mosquitoes alone in only six months, which would require people flying around on airplanes to do, then it should have traveled across the ocean to Brazil as fast as an airplane can fly along with an infected host carrier from Africa, more than 50 years ago.
    The autism / child vaccination link has now been so firmly drawn that the scammers need an entirely new venue before they get totally busted, and pre-birth vaccines have to be that venue. They need a safe way to do this and they are not going to get the job done by letting their weapon loose in the wild, where it can jump out of the bushes and nail them. They need a scapegoat for the intellectual damage they need to cause to maintain their future tyranny, and the zika virus is virtually assured to be their chosen scapegoat.
    They claim this disease is ripping through the Caribbean island nations. QUESTION: HOW DOES A MOSQUITO BORNE ILLNESS, WHICH TOOK 50 YEARS TO JUMP FROM AFRICA TO LATIN AMERICA END UP PROPAGATING THROUGHOUT THE CARIBBEAN IN ONLY A FEW MONTHS, WHEN EACH LOCATION IN THE ENTIRE REGION IS, FROM A MOSQUITO’S STANDPOINT, EQUALLY SEPARATED BY OCEAN?

    Good question, and I have the answer, CASE CLOSED:

    I’ll tell you what is going on here – VIRTUALLY ASSURED: Bill Gates or some other slime ball released a new vaccine in response to the autism uproar, which was to be administered to women while pregnant, to destroy the baby en utero so post-birth vaccines would not be blamed for damage they want to do to ALL children and are no longer completely getting away with. The zika virus has to be there to take the rap.

    A WARNING TO ALL WOMEN WORLDWIDE: AVOID ALL VACCINES DURING PREGNANCY, AND SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHERS, EVEN IF THEY THINK YOU ARE CRAZY FOR SAYING IT. THERE IS NO MOSQUITO BORNE DISEASE CAUSING THE SHRUNKEN BRAINS, LOGIC PROVES IT HAS TO BE ADMINISTERED BY INTENT.

    I have never even heard of a pre birth vaccine given to pregnant women before and why would pregnant women need such a vaccine. If true, I hope females in Barbados and the Caribbean are outright rejecting any such vaccine.

    Some shiite is afoot.

    Zika is mosquito- borne and is known to cause relatively light symptoms compared to chikungunya and even dengue. These Western albino countries have recently been using CNN /BBC MSNBC etc to promote an alleged link with brain disorders in newborns …. a link that is yet to be established, …and which NEVER existed before.

    Apart from their ever present eagerness to promote global pandemics in order to support their chemical / drug industries, these western countries have a long history of deliberately sabotaging those countries that dare to cross their paths….

    Anyone knows what the ‘B’ in BRICS stands for…?
    Anyone knows what BRICS stands for….?

    Brazil has of late been a thorn in the West’s side – in financial, business and other global issues. It is no coincidence that the previously popular president has been overcome with charges of corruption…. Brazil’s economy has been ravished in the last few years, and with the Olympics due this year, it was only a matter of exactly what tactic would be employed to sabotage that event…

    Countries that followed a similar independent financial path like Brazil in the recent path – (with suggestions of moving away from the US Dollar and IMF/World Bank domination of global finances) include….
    ..Cuba
    …Panama
    ….Libya
    …..Iraq


  10. CDC has advised that a vaccine for Zika is 10 years away. Medical officials are advising teenage girls should stay the hell away from travelling this side of the hemisphere. Bahamas, Jamaica, TCI,BVI will likely be greatly affected because this falls in the spring break segment.

    The Bushman…it’s frightening, but do not look for a let up anytime soon with all the existing agendas, barring Divine intervention, which is quit possible.

    David…something is very wrong and if I was not myself infected with 2 out of 3 of those mosquito borne viruses, I too would believe the entire load of horse shit.

    Fact:

    Over 30 years ago I was infected with the deadly dengue while pregnant, it caused the embryonic sack to release all its water at 5 months, while heavily sedated with antibiotics I gave birth at 6 months. My son is a 6 footer, in his 30s today, the biggest of my children……remember, Dengue is deadly.

    With preexisting nerve damage, I also got infected with the very deadly Chikungunya,, nasty experience.

    Something is not sitting right about Zika and Microcephaly. …although people with preexisting condition should be very careful as it too can turn deadly.

    Yep…..something dirty is afoot.

    CNN has cited, not to long ago, Barbados as an example concerning the spread of Zika throughout South and Central America. They say the Caribbean, where Barbados was mentioned, will not be spared from Zika. The travel advisory is in effect for that entire region and several carrier airlines are offering complete refunds or alternative destinations away from the affected region. Tourism will be significantly halted and Barbados will in no way avoid its effects.


  13. WW&C u are such a hypocrite even mire dangerous than Ebola. Your problem u try to wear many hats of convience


  14. @David January 28, 2016 at 8:29 AM “Medical officials are advising teenage girls should stay the hell away from travelling this side of the hemisphere.”

    But aren’t these teenage college girls all virgins until marriage? And since they won’t marry until 23 or so Zika should not be a problem for officially sexless teenage girls.

    Actually if might be best that they get Zika now while they are in their virginity so that they are immune and can’t catch it when they are married ladies in their twenties.
