Thanks to a successful rebranding effort, House Republicans managed to pass the Zika Control Act in May, voting to loosen pesticide restrictions in a purported attempt to stop the spread of the virus, which is believed to cause severe birth defects, including microcephaly.

Republicans have tried passing the bill on five different occasions, disguising it as something new each time, according to Democrats speaking to The Hill, who add that the legislation violates key provisions of the Clean Water Act.

Zika fear promulgated by the mainstream media gave Republicans the required ammunition to advance the legislation. However, Senate Democrats successfully blocked the bill on Tuesday, accusing the other party of trying to “score political points, jam through unpalatable policy changes and cut money from other programs, including provisions that would … weaken environmental restrictions on pesticide use,” according to The New York Times.

The bill would have allocated $1.9 billion towards funding to fight Zika – including $600 million intended to combat Ebola – while placing Americans at risk for exposure to harmful pesticides that have been continually linked to a host of serious illnesses.
