I wasn't trying to claim anything, was just throwing an idea out there. To try to answer some of your questions (not even as an informed layman, just someone who skimmed a wiki): 1) Yes. The whole scare around zika was that it causes birth defects if the mother has it (and the mother can get it transmitted sexually from the father). It was so bad that countries controversially advised all their women to "delay pregnancy until more is known about the virus and its impact on fetal development." See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_Zika_virus_epidemic#Transmission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_Zika_virus_epi... 2) Seems like it's still being studied since it's such a new disease. At least for now there's no cure and vaccines are still in the early stages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_Zika_virus_epidemic#Prevention_and_treatment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_Zika_virus_epi... 3) Mosquitoes don't care if you're rich or poor (j/k I do get your point). But if I were a rich person in brazil, I could and would take every possible preventative measure to avoid problems in a pregnancy. The white genes argument doesn't make sense to me because they have a pretty large (like 50%?) local white population. But I guess my zika argument is pretty ridiculous even if there are tons of paranoid rich folks.
