Zika virus: Outbreak ‘likely to spread across Americas’ says WHO

The Zika virus is likely to spread across nearly all of the Americas, the World Health Organization has warned.

The infection, which causes symptoms including mild fever, conjunctivitis and headache, has already been found in 21 countries in the Caribbean, North and South America.

It has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains and some countries have advised women not to get pregnant.

No treatment or vaccine is available.

The virus was first detected in 1947 in monkeys in Africa. There have since been small, short-lived outbreaks in people on the continent, parts of Asia and in the Pacific Islands.

But it has spread on a massive scale in the Americas, where transmission was first detected in Brazil in May 2015.

    Zika is the scapegoat for the intentional decimation of people in the Caribbean by way of pesticides and vaccines. Many of the women giving birth to babies with small heads HAVE TESTED NEGATIVE FOR THE ZIKA VIRUS. However, Brazil, the center of the “Zika” crisis, uses more pesticides than any nation in the world. Some of these are banned in 22 other countries. And as for babies born with smaller heads, here is a study from Environmental Health Perspectives (July 1, 2011), “Urinary Biomarkers of Prenatal Atrazine Exposure…”The presence versus absence of quantifiable levels of [the pesticide] atrazine or a specific atrazine metabolite was associated with fetal growth restriction… and small head circumference… Head circumference … associated with the presence of the herbicide metolachlor.” Both Atrazine and metolachlor are both widely used in Brazil.

    Guess what? Zika was ‘discovered’ by a US lab in 1947. Find out its true purpose here:

    Regarding the Zika ‘outbreak’. Here is the list of biological weapons developed and patented by the USA. They don’t even hide that they are behind all these outbreaks. Folks, it’s here in plain site – ebola, aids, dengue, chickawhathave you – all patented and ready to go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_biological_weapons_program .

    Did you know that mosquitoes are only carriers? They are superb are spreading biological agents of death and destruction and are already GMOed, by ‘guess who’?? And where have these GMOed mosquitoes been set free – the Caribbean of course:. Here are some more details for you: http://www.newsmax.com/Health/Headline/ebola-patent-US-government/2014/10/09/id/599636/http://members.bdawson.beforeitsnews.com/health/2010/12/viruses-and-the-gm-insect-flying-vaccine-solution-307165.html

    A virus has life; devilish life.

    A virus can change form. It can go away and come back. It can make itself unresponsive to a medication. Just when they think they have a medical answer it can strike again and laugh at the best efforts of science. A virus can mutate and take on different characteristics.

    WHO is saying the Zika Virus may sweep over the Americas. Christians can trust God. I am encouraging believers to engage in spiritual warfare and pray against the Zika Virus. Rebuke the devil in the NAME of the Lord Jesus, and pray that God will heal those who are afflicted with this disease. Claim the protection of the precious BLOOD of Christ over your family.

    And please pray for the doctors, nurses, and all the health care workers who minister to the sick and suffering everywhere – especially those who care for the Zika patients. Ask God to protect them, and keep them in health.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Deliverance Evangelist.

    These are signs of The Abomination of Desolation that is to come. Matthew Chapter 24, verse 19: “How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!” Be prepared…Get ready…Verse 20: Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.”

      Also according to Matthew 24 another sign of the end is that “…there shall be … pestilences…” (vs.7) The word “pestilences” in our Bible is plural because there are many of them. They are strange new diseases
      unheard of a fifty years ago. Now they are arriving one after another. Before we have cleaned up after the last one another arrives.

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

    And I am sure that they will see that it does spread as far as possible.

    We are told that the disease is spread by mozzies. Really??? Where is the proof? Would be interesting to have a gander at that.

    Another virus caused by monkeys in Africa, more like mischievous monkeys at the CDC – the same organisation that has the patent on the AIDS and Ebola viruses :)

    The quest for population reduction to the goal of 500M is relentless these days and not even subtle. These NWO monsters stop at nothing. What is the Pope’s role in all this, I ask you…..chewps!

      bruh everytime you use the internet you’re bowing to the beast. www = v/v/v/ or vi vi vi or 666. The beast that was spoken of is the world wide web. What does a web that is as wide as the world do? It traps the whole world that’s what. People are looking all over for the mark of the beast when it’s in plain sight. It’s on the forehead of every url you use (even when it doesn’t show it). Read between the lines. If you want to be truly free, leave the modern civilization and technology behind and go live in Zion and await the coming of the king. rastafaraiii

        Sorry but the computer is not the anti-christ beast.

        The Bible says the beast has a number. It is 666 and “…it is the number of a man; …” (Revelation 13:18) Take note! It is the number of a man not the number of a machine.

        The Bible also calls him the man of sin, the son of perdition, and the lawless one, and other names that could only refer to a person.

        The anti-Christ will not appear until the restrainer (the Holy Spirit) has been taken out of the way. “…then shall that wicked one be revealed, …” (2 Thessalonians 2:8)

        Please do not read into the Holy Scriptures your own fancy interpretations because it is wrong to tamper with the Word of God. However, your suggestion that the beast is the computer is so silly I don’t think there is much danger of it leading people astray. One thing it does do. It causes unbelievers to make light of the scriptures and mock those of us who are engaged in the serious ministry of teaching Bible Prophecy.

        Sincerely, Rev…

    I feel sorry for those babies (parents of course). Poor babies. They are a future generation with more generations to come.
    May God stabilize and eradicate this virus, for the sake of the children. In Jesus Name, I pray.

    Wasn’t it the same WHO and/or its affliates that said the Ebola would have over-run the world or sections of the world by such and such time.

    I get the feeling that the WHO and some of these other health organisations of the world are clueless and playing a guessing game when it comes to the spread and behaviour of these virus sicknesses.

    Maybe they may be correct on this one or wrong again.

      You’re actually right as we don’t really have the capabilities to predict exactly how such a disease will spread. There are so many variables and factors to account for it is impossible to make anything other than an educated guess. They’re most likely basing their reasoning on the number of cases already reported and the ease with which the disease can be spread and how difficult it is to effectively control the disease vectors.

      They are warning the world of the inevitable and to take precaution. But they really do not know what will be the outcome Only God knows and we cannot read his mind. :) .

      • January 28, 2016

        We cannot read His mind?

        No, but we can read our Bibles :!:

        I have read mine. It says things will get worse before they get better. But I’ve read the last chapter. Know what? It says we win!

        Some conditions apply. You must be saved by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and receiving HIM as your personal Savior according to John 1:12, Ephesians 2:8,9, and 1 John 5:11,12.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

        We cannot read His mind but we can read our Bibles. I have read the last chapter. Know what?
        It says things will get worse before they get better. But if we have been born again – we win!

      Channel One:

      I have no idea who you are but it seems you may have some insight in these matter so I hope you will continue to think outside the box.

      For what I am going to say I will be ridiculed and mocked but here it is.

      The WHO may have within its ranks the best of this world’s medical knowledge and wisdom. But I am sure the WHO has not considered that they are not dealing with a natural enemy. Some who want to appear extra knowledgeable say certain viruses came from monkeys. Others – wanting it seems to outdo them – are saying the worst of the viruses were created in a USA or Russian lab as part of a biological warfare.

      But I wonder if any of the WHO has even considered that they may be facing a spiritual enemy :?:

      Viruses are energized by a spiritual force intent on destroying mankind.

      Our weapons are the WORD of God, and PRAYER, the NAME of Jesus, and His BLOOD!

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Deliverance Evangelist.
