Mosquitoes, your days are numbered

No more itchy itchy scratchy scratchy


This is the sort of genocide I support

I'm not a fan of fooling with nature. Are we really willing to give up a couple of bites for genetically engineered anything?

We have no clue to what the long term outcomes are.

@Peaceful Even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available, in 2017, there were 110 000 measles deaths globally, mostly among children under the age of five.

Measles vaccination resulted in a 80% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2017 worldwide.
In 2017, about 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services – up from 72% in 2000.

During 2000-2017, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 21.1 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.

@Northwest keep drinking the pharma Kool Aid. 😌

The good news is that mosquitoes only live for some hours, can't fly in a 5 mile per hour breeze, and must find still, stagnant water to breed.

Another reason not to have tires and open trash cans sitting around in the rain.

Itchy itchy scratchy scratchy ☺️

Does it only affect mosquitoes infected with malaria? I could hardly believe that.

We humans are very curious creatures, and unfortunately, our curiousity has led us to ignore good sense where we shouldn’t have. I think with some really good checks and balances scientific research will be less fear inducing and more hope giving. @caccoon

@Longpatrol I can only hope. But I feel like screwing with balance is never good. Though, we do that all of the time anyway. :(

@caccoon every time!
What are the birds supposed to do? 🤔

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays If there were no mosquitoes, those birds would eat other insects. Trust me, the world will do just fine with no mosquitoes.
