Zika Virus Outbreak Linked to Release of Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes
Could the Zika virus be the first major communicable disease caused by genetic modification gone wrong?
This information comes directly from Natural News and Mike Adams, who is known as the “Health Ranger”. Mike has been featured on Dr. Oz and a number of other television shows, as well as many documentaries.
I had written about the future dangers of releasing genetically modified mosquitoes on December 30, 2015. I had no idea that the dangers might be so immediate.

Even when genetically engineered organisms are released into the world with the best of intentions, such actions can wreak havoc on the ecosystem and human civilization in ways that simply can’t be foreseen by the world’s most well-meaning scientists.
Now we may be seeing the first wave of the horrific destruction that can be unleashed by self-replicating genetically modified organisms. The Zika virus, now spreading with unbridled ferocity, appears to have been caused by the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes that scientists hoped would sharply reduce malaria infections.

“The Zika virus outbreak currently gripping the Americas could have been sparked by the release of genetically modified mosquitoes in 2012,” reports The Mirror. “The insects were engineered by biotechnology experts to combat the spread of dengue fever and other diseases and released into the general population of Brazil in 2012... The Aedes aegypti mosquito sub-species that carries both the Zika virus and dengue was the type targeted with genetically modified mosquitoes.”
The genetic engineers running this massive open-air experiment with mosquitoes and humans failed to consider the impact of antibiotics in the environment caused by their heavy use in agricultural (animal feed) operations.
The presence of antibiotics causes the mosquitoes that are supposed to die off to survive and reproduce. These same genetically engineered mosquitoes may then bite humans, injecting them with the Zika virus that’s now causing mutations in head and brain formation in children.
At least 4,000 babies in Brazil have been born with microcephaly over just the last four months and the spread of Zika virus is rapidly exploding.
The very same scientists who pushed for the release of the genetically engineered mosquitoes that may have caused all this are also now calling for more genetically engineered mosquitoes, which they claim will solve this problem.
