And so when people want something very badly, when people want you to do something badly, you have to kind of think of some of the root causes. And I think that's something, the thread that runs through your show and what the listeners are probably getting at. Now, as far as Zika, you don't want to necessarily get a case of presuming stipulating they were right. I don't think they're right.
I think Zika is a harmless human, non-human related virus. and dengue and Zika don't cause microcephaly. Microcephaly is a bad, bad thing. You don't want your kid to have it if it's the severe type. What they were measuring in Brazil was not the severe type, the wrong standard. They said there'd be no math.
Basically, they were using two standard deviations, which makes ipso facto 2.5% of the population have microcephaly. That's clearly not the case. What you're concerned about is low IQ cases with really micro microcephaly, which is only like three standard deviations, which is about 0.15% or fewer. So there's a congenital kind, but it can come from a lot of other causes.
Most of those track with poverty. So it's like hypothyroidism, malnutrition, drug abuse, alcoholism, et cetera, this and that, and maybe some metals and pollution, whatever. But it pretty much tracks with poverty. And insofar as they see cases of microcephaly, whether it's North Brazil or South Brazil, whether it's dengue, Zika, whatever, it's been in cases with poverty.
So rather than say, oh, let's try to figure out how to get less poverty, what they did was – pretty much bang on the wrong door. You know, this is not really helpful to bang on the wrong place. Now, if you have a fire out there, you know, it's not a good time for you to, I don't know, start, I don't know, making a drum circle. It's not the right answer to the problem.
So they might have had, maybe drum circles are great, but they don't help with fires. And what they did here, when they have a problem microcephaly, if in fact they did one, but they didn't, there was nothing over, you know, but they got something that pulled at people's heartstrings by showing the babies with small heads. Or panic them also. It was a headline. Wildfire.
And so does wildfire, by the way. And so people use these as hooks, and that's an unfortunate situation.
And as you're saying. It's polyfactorial. You know, it's kind of like, I don't know, let's say we talk about low IQ in general or height. You know, you have short people and some of them are just short. Some of them are, you know, if you want to call it pathologically short, dwarfism, whatever. And dwarfs might argue with that, with pathologic, whatever. But there's a gradation. You know, if...
If I go to Japan, when I did, all of a sudden I became a tall person. I'm six feet tall. I'm not enormous here, but on the trains in Japan, I was relatively tall. So you have to kind of consider what is the basis for these observations. In the case of microcephaly, they were using the wrong standard because in the north of Brazil, it's a different population. It gets a darker skin, more indios.
They call them pardos in Brazil. and people are shorter, the babies are smaller, and they were using the European South Brazil standard where people are taller and the babies come out closer to term and they come out larger.
So right from the beginning, when they looked at the growth charts from Rio and Sao Paulo and whatnot and then applying them in the north of Brazil, they had people at the wrong standard. There's more prematurity in the north of Brazil. Anyway, there were a lot of confounding variables that show
But it basically leads you to the presumption that the baby came out with a smaller head when it might just be a smaller baby because the people are smaller, the mom's smaller.
They panicked a generation of women. Yeah, it's crazy. And moreover, there's something called what I call ghost babies. That's my own term. And what I mean is because the WHO-aligned physicians came in and swarmed, they had their moment in the sun. They got to be famous for 20 minutes, Warholian 15 minutes. And they came down to Jamaica, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, and they implored
an opportune, importune people not to have babies until they have the Zika vaccine. They wanted to do kind of like the lockdown, but a baby moratorium. And this was cheered on.
Yeah, baby lockdown. And so what happened was there was a diminution in the birth. Not everyone listened, obviously. So there'd be nobody in elementary school right now because we're like, you know, check my watch, like almost 10 years later. And so... Most people didn't listen, but a lot of people did. And they're actually having a baby dearth.
They're having a classroom dearth in Salvador and in Bahia. And the economy is down.
This is the fruition of that. I'm sorry to cut you off. This is the fruition of the idea of wanting Chick-V, the mission. They wanted the mission to come in and bring social equity. Well, you know what? They got it. But it turns out it's not that great when you just bring a disease in falsely. You scare people. And we see what it's like now. We see the walking wounded now with masks in 2025.
You know, the same thing. Every person you see with a mask is kind of a cognate for everybody in Brazil who's still scared of a mosquito. And they might stay indoors. They slather on insect repellent. And so we're doing things that are not healthy for young women and women who are pregnant. And so are they, especially in a tropical area.
Imagine how hard it is just to be a woman pregnant in the tropics. And now all of a sudden you've got to stay indoors or you've got to slather on everything, you know, in order to cover yourself up to go outside. Because a mosquito, you know, one single mosquito, theoretically, according to their view, can ruin the cherished life within. And nobody has said, you know what? No, this wasn't us.
What instead happened is kind of the macabre laying on of your own applications. I don't know if you ever heard of this guy, Bill Gates. In 2017, apparently he's got a lot of money from something. I don't know. I've heard he's kind of micro and soft, but I don't remember the association. But in 2017, he said, I will put out 100.
