    This message qualifies as propaganda by people or companies telling people lies about how these birth defects in babies really occur. This message is beneficial to people all around the world of how these pregnant women really infected. This propaganda sells this message by scaring people of this Zika virus and how pregnant women suffer from this virus the most. An emotional appeal to this message would be appeal to authority or experts because people listen to what scientists or doctors have to say and how to prevent getting infecrted.
