if you read the post , x15 is asking the question. and a mosquito is an insect
Malaria is horrific. I have never had it and I would never wish it upon others.

Mixed feelings. I carried out a mosquito control program in the 80s using Vectobac (B. Thuringiensis Israelensis) which was very effective and provided a lot of relief to humans and horses (and presumably wildlife). Mosquitoes were reduced about 80% The unknown was the possible shortfall of mosquitoes as a food source.Following Review of Available Data and Public Comments, EPA Expands and Extends Testing of Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes to Reduce Mosquito Populations | US EPA
EPA has approved an experimental use permit (EUP) amendment for Oxitec Ltd. that expands and extends the testing of genetically engineered Aedes aegypti (OX5034) mosquitoes to reduce mosquito populations.
How do you’ll feel about this?
they just toss his name in as click-bait, much as Soros & the Kochs are used. Musk seems to not be bright enough to be a super-villain...
rich enough, but too dumb.
Oxitec is his baby. Gates is one of the largest financial supporters. So yes his name is in the article. His company, his name.
Well I didn’t put in Musk bc I haven’t read anywhere where he is associated. But bill gates is very much attached to this via Oxitec. He speaks on behalf of them in the past and will continue to front the bill for the company.they just toss his name in as click-bait, much as Soros & the Kochs are used.

This isn’t about tinkering with gmo foods. This is about tinkering with humans.
Read this one. It might help, my apologies.Pandora's box: how GM mosquitos could have caused Brazil's microcephaly disaster
In Brazil's microcephaly epidemic, one vital question remains unanswered: how did the Zika virus suddenly learn how to disrupt the development of human embryos? The answer may lie in a sequence of 'jumping DNA' used to engineer the virus's mosquito vector - and released into the wild four years...

your post for bringing up the topic, but i am not a fan of synthetic biology. or any kind of genetic tinkering. something i can agree with mr.mustard about.
@BudToaster yeah I feel ya. I’m not for any of it either. I think it’s an awful idea with too much room for foul play. I was just curious if anyone else has connected any of the dots. Usually don’t post stuff like this bc I don’t like to argue, esp argue about something so sinister. But we all have our own opinions and I can appreciate that. Just thought I’d share the info.
