I was pregnant with my first son at the time, and where we lived at the time was right near a river, which meant there were A LOT of mosquitos all the time. The news was really intense and basically implied that if you were pregnant and got bitten by

a mosquito, your child would suffer birth defects. This was very obvious at the time that they were trying to push for legal abortion, as currently and still abortion is 100% illegal here in Brazil. But now I am looking back in a different perspective...

which most common filters will struggle to remove. Even bottled water is heavily fluoridated. With diets already lacking in essential nutrients like Iodine, and high consumption of heavy metals and toxins, it would make sense that a high and growing % of

the population would be nutrient deficient. But scientists and doctors and so called "experts" have the audacity to cry wolf about a mosquito to push a law to kill unborn babies. And, I am telling you, mothers at the time were LINING UP to kill their

unborn children after being bitten by a mosquito. The hysteria was real. What I have told every doctor I have ever seen. There is a cause and and effect for everything. Something doesn't "just happen", there is always a reason why.
