Comments on: Florida Confirms First Zika Related Birth http://www.northescambia.com/2016/06/florida-confirms-first-zika-related-birth Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:45:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sue http://www.northescambia.com/2016/06/florida-confirms-first-zika-related-birth/comment-page-1#comment-324594 Sue Fri, 01 Jul 2016 02:28:51 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=256507#comment-324594 This really is upsetting to me whats happening. There are babies being born now in this country with severe birth defects including small brain and head size because of Zika. The President and our Governor both have requested that congress issue the funds to fight this virus before it spreads in this country like in others. Congress voted this down the first time in February and here we are almost six months down the road and they are still fighting over it. Some of these babies might have been saved if they delayed finding a cure in all this time. Must be there 11% approval rating. Too much money and lobbying in congress to help us and these babies that need it the most. This really is upsetting to me whats happening.

I hope the funds are made available by our congress to find a cure soon. I really fear abortions may be on the rise if congress does not get its act together on this virus. They really are taking there time on this, the funds were requested at least month or so ago and they still didn't want to pay for all of it.

The story says she contracted the Zika virus while in Haiti and traveled to Florida to give birth. If she's a U.S. citizen, then I'm glad she made it. If not, is there a screening in place for these sorts of things for non-citizens? There are other ways that Zika can be transmitted human-to-human and the mosquito isn't always the culprit. Aside from the whole anchor baby thing, we need to protect our own citizens as much as possible. Curious…was the woman a Haiti citizen?
