Moonbats Release Genetically Modified Mosquitoes

Mosquitos are our #1 enemy. Due to their tendency to spread disease, they kill more people than any other animal. Thanks to hubristic leftist do-gooders, they may get still more deadly.

Via Slay News:

A growing number of experts are raising the alarm over billionaire Bill Gates’s extensive involvement in genetically modified mosquito projects after it emerged that the Microsoft co-founder has released hundreds of millions of bacteria-infested mosquitoes into the wild in Colombia. …

The concerns intensified after the government of Burkina Faso terminated the controversial Target Malaria project last year, citing biosafety risks, questionable effectiveness, and concerns over scientific sovereignty.

The idea in Burkina Faso was to use mutated mosquitoes to fight malaria, which is spread by mosquitoes.

In Colombia, projects funded by the Gates Foundation are releasing 30 million mosquitoes carrying modified Wolbachia bacteria per week.

The initiative began years ago and has expanded significantly, with supporters claiming the bacteria can reduce transmission of diseases such as dengue fever.

Critics, however, argue that the public is effectively participating in a biological experiment without meaningful informed consent and that the long-term ecological consequences remain uncertain.

Effects could be irreversible.

Closer to home than Colombia — via the New York Post:

[Google] is seeking federal approval to release up to 32 million specially treated mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever.

Again the plan is to release mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia.

Google says artificial intelligence and robotic systems would be used to breed, sort and release the mosquitoes at a scale large enough to make the strategy effective.

If you trust Bill Gates to tamper with biology, why not Google? It does have public health credentials, having done such a great job of suppressing “misinformation” on YouTube during Covid hysteria.

If approval is not forthcoming from Lee Zeldin’s EPA, Google can just wait for the next Democrat administration.

Even more frightening than unintended consequences is the tendency of moonbats to believe there are too many of us.
