"In the future, we will learn a lot more about the sexual transmission of
Zika with answers to questions such as how long can the virus exist in
semen and what is the amount of virus needed to cause an infection? But,
that information will come slowly, taking months to years. In the
meantime, we must change the way that we think about Zika transmission –
talking less about wearing long shirts, and more about wearing condoms."
Zika: Are We Looking in the Wrong Direction?
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

spraying? This answer is, unfortunately, already available: Africa.
Malaria, which is also spread by mosquitos, kills thousands of people
every day. How many deaths would have been prevented by more aggressive
use of pesticides? You tell me."
