On a related note, but the crazy people reactions towards Zika are at the leavel you'd expect for vaccinations. Quite strange.

i saw articles already trying to blame the birth defects on a vaccine over the weekend. vaccine people aren't going to go away just because they're wrong.

There was that, and tons of concern trolling over "what about the ecosystems if we get rid of the mosquitoes? What will birds and frogs eat??". Of course, the fact that it's an invasive species never came to mind but it was fun watching a bunch of rich white folks concern themselves with bird/frog populations over the lives of poorer, darker skinned children.

Or the same way Qatar in the summer is picked to host the World Cup.
