Now they are saying Zika virus was Engineered by the Rockyfellers and the Rothschilds

 

The virus was not genetically engineered by the Rothschilds or the Rockefellers

The two big baddies of most conspiracy theories, many have claimed that the Rothschild family and/or the Rockefellers are responsible for the spread of the Zika virus. (It isn’t clear why they would do this.) This theory is laid out on one conspiracy website, Collective Evolution. That site claims that the Rockefeller Foundation “owns the patent on the virus”, and that is being sold throughout the world.
 
 But the ATCC doesn’t collect copyrights. It’s in fact a very useful medical resource, which stores and distributes microorganisms and other materials that allow companies and other researchers to inspect and build on existing knowledge.
The connection with the Rothschild Foundation here is because the virus was originally found by scientists working for it. Scientists dropped off a sample of the virus, taken from a rhesus monkey in Uganda, in the repository in 1947.
 

Or by another company called Oxitec, which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

This is a largely similar idea: a British company called Oxitec was testing genetically engineered mosquitoes to stop the spread of the Zika virus, among other diseases. But those insects were actually spreading the disease — either by accident or on purpose, depending on who’s telling you. (And all of this is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.)
 
All of this comes from a paper that shows that Oxitec was testing its proposal, of releasing genetically-engineered mosquitoes that kill their offspring and using it to reduce the number of dangerous mosquitoes in the wild. The conspiracies emerged because of a Reddit post that pointed out the areas the mosquitoes were being released correlated with the areas that Zika outbreaks were happening. Both events pointed to a city called Juazeiro in Brazil.
 
But the Reddit post had got the wrong Juazeiro, pointed at a place 300km away. And even the correct Juazeiro is a long way from the places particularly affected by Zika, which are on the coast.
And the current, dangerous outbreak didn’t even come from that area. It’s thought to have spread from an outbreak in 2013, in French Polynesia.
