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.

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.

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

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.
