How is there still no vaccine for this?
@YankyDoodle
Because it's not in the US anymore...

There were bills and budgets that were going to be passed in congress and then Miami beat the $*&# out of Zika and no one here cares anymore...

My department had multiple NIH funded studies on Zika and its effect on hearing, microcephaly etc but they all lost funding and interest after the tourism industry kicked it out of Florida.

Call me cynical, but if there's something to get the pace of vaccine research to pick up, it's the first world having a serious outbreak.

Zika and the CDCs pathetic maps make me angry.
Basically left with HNL, LAX, and MIA.

I was afraid you’d say that... 2020 was the year I was planning a nice international trip after schooling was done and I had time on my hand  >:(

1. Why do you trust the cdc for Miami?

2. There are resources for other countries locally. For example, the Mexican health authority shows no zika in Quintana Roo, for example.

Because I don't believe the CDC to be corrupt and I do believe Mexican authorities to be corrupt based on my short experience in Mexico. If there was Zika in MIA we'd know about it.

I mean MIA magically had zika contained to tiny areas last time and then magically had the advisories removed well before any other country with an equal amount of confirmed cases.

So are you staying away from all purple areas on the CDC map?? in the words of the CDC "Country or territory that has ever reported Zika cases (past or current)" as they dont have any numbers from the last few years.

If you stay away from purple, then leave the USA.

The CDC map is obviously worthless at this point. It's just them covering their behinds.

I'm not sure what alternative I have.
