[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"In the U.S., the March of Dimes recently estimated the cost of care for one American child with microcephaly to be $10 million dollars."

Given local transmission of Zika in the continental US has now been found, what is the Republican plan to pay for these severely brain damaged children after banning abortion?  Pence's law in Indiana forbids abortion on grounds of prenatal testing that reveals disability. I would love to hear what his solution is to this incoming public health crisis.  Spreading like wildfire in Puerto Rico, now in Florida and soon Texas.

We are testing Zika vaccine in humans.  There will be a massive public health campaign to vaccinate all women of childbearing age.   [/quote]

Actually, there are major concerns with the Zika vaccine due to antibody-dependent enhancement.  It will need to be tested for several more years before the implications of rolling it out on a wide scale are understood.

Well, this is one way to keep the population under control.  [/quote]
