Nah, if anything Zika babies would find other Zika babies if people are too shallow to go out with them. Regardless I don't think there is enough documentation on what happens later in life to these cases, if they can grow into a regular body.
If there is going to be a population control bug, it is going to be a killer, not just make you look funny. I think that was more like Rainbow Six. Enough of a gestation period that the effects are not visible for a week or two, but still communicable. Then you die fast.

So it will be along the lines of Polio and debilitating diseases that we now have vaccines for, which I have seen a lot about the rush to find a vaccine for this.
I am not here to debate vaccines, just saying. Debilitating diseases have been around before and been handled. I don't see a different outcome to this.
Start talking about antibiotic resistance and bio-engineering and you have me worried.

There is plenty of research on microcephaly. It isn't only caused from Zika. The profound degree of microcephaly in most of the Zika cases I've read about do not have a good prognosis. It's not a 'cosmetic' issue. We are talking about significant intellectual and physical disabilities.

Can this be a form of population control? I mean, this just pops up in Brazil out of nowhere. The Olympics are being held in Brazil this year. Every athlete and person that goes to the Olympics is putting their country at risk. This virus is sexually transmitted. You no longer need a mosquito. We have all seen what happens to those babies born with this virus. I can see a lot of babies being aborted. And the ones that are born, will not be reproducing any children in the future.
I think this was done on purpose. And I think it would be a good idea to cancel the Olympics this year.
