Will Dems Continue To Put Politics Over Fighting Zika?
The Good News:“… officials are reporting surprising success with mosquito control in Florida. Aerial spraying over the Miami neighborhood with the locally transmitted cases in the continental United States has been highly effective, Dr. Frieden said. The success seems to have come from combining sprays that kill adult mosquitoes with sprays that kill larvae. (Adult sprays on their own were not as effective.) The outcome goes against conventional wisdom that aerial spraying does not work against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the type that carries Zika. ‘What we’ve seen is very dramatic reduction in mosquito populations there,’ Dr. Frieden said.” (“U.S. Funding For Fighting Zika Virus Is Nearly Spent, C.D.C. Says,” The New York Times, 8/31/16)
WALL STREET JOURNAL: “After spending months demanding more funding to combat the Zika virus, [Democrats] voted down their own priority to foment the chaos they believe will work to their political benefit in the fall.”(Editorial, “The Zika Democrats,” The Wall Street Journal, 6/28/2016)
THE HILL: ‘Senate Democrats Block Zika Agreement Ahead Of Recess’ “Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a deal providing funding for the fight against the Zika virus, virtually guaranteeing that Congress won't get legislation to President Obama's desk this month.” (“Senate Democrats Block Zika Agreement Ahead Of Recess,” The Hill, 6/28/16)
WASHINGTON TIMES: “Senate Democrats maintain filibuster, block Zika deal for second time. Senate Democrats on Thursday voted to maintain their weeks-long filibuster of Zika-fighting money, sending Congress home for a seven-week recess without any additional funding for vaccine research or mosquito eradication.” (“Senate Democrats Maintain Filibuster, Block Zika Deal For Second Time,” The Washington Times, 7/15/16)
