Zika Funding Delay in Congress Puts Americans at Risk, Obama Says - NBC News

Educate yourself.

The funding delay is not caused by Congress. Congress has agreed to make the money available, but an amendment has been added to provide additional funding for Planned Parenthood. POTUS Has said he will not sign the bill unless it contains the PP funding.

So, it seems to me that Obama is the one playing with our health.

I beg to differ. POTUS asked for $1.9b, congress approved $1.0b, combined with multiple poison pills, including DEfunding Planned Parenthood. POTUS would not permit the defunding, nor the other poison pill amendments, and the $1.0b was wholly insufficient for a public health issue of this magnitude in the first place.

Senate Democrats rejected the GOP funding measure on Tuesday, 52-48, arguing that it would rob Obamacare of funding, impose new restrictions on Planned Parenthood and provide some $800 million less than the Obama administration is seeking. They’re also miffed that the measure, part of legislation to finance the Veterans Affairs Department, would allow the Confederate flag to fly at veterans cemeteries.

If you read the article you linked, you'll see that the Democrats voted against a bill containing the funding level to which they had previously agreed.

CDC Almost Out of Zika Money, Director Says - NBC News

Repubs really screwed the nation.

Protect yourself.

Too many people in America anyway. People die, get over it.

Propaganda to get more money...that's ALL it is.

Keep you scared and in need of "their protection" is what governments do to you. So you'll keep agreeing to more and more control over everything. It's a slow heating and we're all frogs in the pot.

Turn off the TV there's nothing there but propaganda.

On the planet...more of the "needy" persuasion than anyone else. We could get rid of 7/8ths and not even notice. The world would be a better place. They're ONLY there because of oil. Oil allows us to feed 9 billion people. Without it, we go back to about a billion.

Birth defects, brain damage? If you're not worried, you must already be affected.

:pray:

Democrats beat the Repubs in screwing the nation!
So protect yourself, is right....
vote out all Democrats in November!

:thumbup:

Says who? The people trying to scare you for more money?

Every few years there's some new terror that will end it all...they need MONEY...NOW...and every time...it just fades away.

Disease spreads when you let diseased 3rd worlders run around willy nilly.

Liberals worried? Why? They have Planned Parenthood to take care of their mistakes. What's another liberal abortion? Zika gives them just one more excuse to use abortion as a means of birth control.

The ignorance and hate on this board is amazing.

There it is again. The misuse of the term "hate." Really, can't you libtards find a better word to misuse? Something a little more appropriate? Only children use that term (ie., "you hate me because you won't let me go to the concert."). Grow up.

I believe you should be more concerned with contracting lung cancer - Smokey!!

It will only get worse.

Ignore the trolls. Protect yourself and those you love.

Yes, of course worry about Zika while you plan your next trip to the countries that have far more preponderance of Malaria and Dengue fever being transmitted by mosquitoes. If you are that worried, use Deet on yourself to keep the bites down. You actually have a better chance of being hit by a car than contracting Zika.

Who hasn't been in at least one car accident?

This is very serious. Please don't make light of it.

You have a better chance of being a victim of a terrorist attack than contracting zika.

Shoulda kept those diseased africans out...ANOTHER problem they caused!

No, you are speaking of HIV.

I'm speaking of BOTH...and a LOT of other nasty diseases.

"Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys through a network that monitored yellow fever. It was later identified in humans in 1952 in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania"

WHO | Zika virus

I've been to many countries having malaria and dengue fever, which are transmitted by mosquito. Funny how no one ran around in a panic over the prospects of being bitten by a bug. I even had dengue fever from a bite, most likely while on one of my weekly visits to the rain forest. No, it's no laughing matter. However, it is not something for anyone to panic over. Oh, and I did not get the fever from Africa. It was in South America. I am not going to allow the prospect of zika interfere with my lifestyle any more than I allowed the prospect of getting stung by a "killer bee" bother me a couple decades ago, during that scare. Like I said before, if you are prone to bug bites (some are more than others) then use Deet. This does not have to be mind crippling.

Zika Affected Woman'''s Brain and Memory, Doctors Say - NBC News

And, do the DEET thing, too.

the cut backs in fun ding for the necessary federal activity to conduct research and prevention of such a disease goes right back to the bush administration .

Question: How did they determine that zika affected a woman's brain function? How could they tell how any woman's brain functions to begin with? Chill folks, just joking. After all, that is an ongoing and decades long joke.

Instead of a zero value...they got a negative...it actually sucked sense out of the people around her...to be lost forever.

Like their posts do here.

It's a "joke", a "stereotype" for a reason...it's true.

Stereotypes ARE true...that's how they come about...people see a common trait or action and voila...a stereotype is born. If you're not allowed to talk about it, political correctness, you get "jokes".

Republicant's screwing the country again. They won't be happy when their daughters are affected.

Hmm, since it was the Democrats that refused to vote for the money, you are being just a bit disingenuous.

Ah hah! Now we know what is affected Hillary. It's the zika virus. It has affected her brain and makes her bobble headed and rubber legged.
