I am not claiming that Zika is or is not coming. I am suggesting that the headline is loaded and that if you live in one of those dark orange areas on the map with the legend "The Most Vulnerable" it's probably scaring the shit out of you in a way that's disproportionate to the current threat. >Ebola didn't disappear on its own But it would have equally disappeared without the minor panic incited by the media. You remember that part too, don't you? >Your line of thinking is what makes measles come back Oh, the drama. I don't think my weariness of the fear mongering is going to bring back the Black Death. No, my ,"line of thinking" says let public health officials do their jobs without this incessant advertising-selling drumbeat regarding our collective impending doom. But it's OK. Give me your address and I will bring my 8 unvaccinated kids and their unvaccinated goldfish to your house to hang out for a bit. Apologies in advance for your exploding head.
