Some shocking facts about the West Nile Virus
Fact#1 The
West Nile Virus epidemic does not exist!
That’s right there is no such thing as the West Nile Virus in New York. Well,
let me be more specific, the West Nile Virus is a real virus that has been
around for hundreds of years all over the world. Outbreaks of West Nile viral
disease have occurred in Africa, Egypt, Israel, Asia, Romania, Russia and
France. Before 1999 however, West Nile virus had never before been found in the
Americas. The virus can cause damage to the central nervous systems of some
birds and small animals leading to their death. BUT, there is very little if any
danger to human beings.
Why the scare then you
might ask?
The truth about the West
Nile Virus is that the Government needed to create a scare to make the citizens
of New York believe that there was a threat of the West Nile Virus in the area
in order for the government to spray the entire city with a so-called "larvicide".
Once the public is convinced that there is a need to spray fro mosquitoes, it is
easy to add other agents into the chemical being sprayed. Since there are
hundreds of birds that carry the West Nile Virus that turn up dead on peoples
lawn each year and the public knows so little about the virus, the government
believes that this virus would be the best to use to create a stir.
Fact#2 Birds have been dying from West
Nile for many, many years. How many times prior to 1999 have you seen a dead
bird lying on the ground? I’m sure the answer is countless, but only now the
virus is such an epidemic that the entire city must be sprayed.
