Has the virus mutated in a way that now causes microcephaly? Is there something else which causes microcephaly which accompanies this Brasilian iteration of the virus but one which will follow the virus to the US and cause birth defects in the US? There's no doubt that Brasil has suffered a significant increase in microcephaly. The exact vector doesn't really matter. While there's a chance that the US will suffer the same increase, it will be an issue in the Presidential election which will be held s bit less than 9 months from now, a significant figure when it comes to childbirth.
