2 billion genetically modified mosquitos are about to be released in the US

Scientists have been playing god with mosquitos for a couple of years now. Back in 2021, British company Oxitech released 750 million lab-modified mosquitos in Florida. Now, the company is gearing up to release another 2 billion genetically modified mosquitos across more of Florida and in California as well.

The new species, codenames OX5034, is made up entirely of male mosquitos. The new species is derived from the Aeses aegypti family of mosquitos. Just like others the company has released, this new 2 billion should produce female larvae that die off before they reach adulthood.

With the success of last year’s Florida release, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has approved Oxitech for additional releases in the Florida Keys. The EPA has also approved a new program with the Delta Mosquito and Vector Control District in California. Furthermore, Oxitech says that it is reaching out to other state regulators to get programs running in more states, too.

Female mosquitos are the only mosquitos that bite and are attracted to human blood. Because the new genetically modified mosquitos are all male, the genetic modifications shouldn’t pose any danger to people that encounter them.

Oxitech also says the modifications will carry on through other male larvae. This should help the mosquito population lessen over multiple generations. (more at link)


I gotta say I'm conflicted on this one. Generally, there are always repercussions from meddling with nature like this, but damn I hate mosquitos!
 
Good. Fuck mosquitos, this planet is better off without em

If it destroys whole ecosystems.... IDGAF
 
hmm...could be this be the start of a forced inoculation that Bill Gates wants?

Microsoft founder Bill Gates is mulling the use of genetically modified mosquitoes to “vaccinate” people. The technology bigwig and vaccine advocate brings his jab obsession a notch higher with the “flying syringes” project. To make this idea a reality, Gates has provided funding to a Japanese scientist who has pushed the idea of genetically modifying mosquitoes.

Japanese professor Hiroyuki Matsuoka was among the awardees of a $100,000 grant, an October 2008 press release by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said. The grant allows scientists “from [a] diverse set of disciplines and regions … to explore bold, untested projects.” The Jichi Medical University professor put forward the idea that disease-carrying mosquitoes can be turned into “flying syringes” that vaccinate humans instead.

Using the $100,000 grant from the Gates Foundation, Matsuoka will attempt to design a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein. This will be administered into a host’s skin when the mosquitoes “bite” and suck blood from a person. The project aims to discover the potential of genetically modified mosquitoes to deliver vaccines against other infectious diseases. If Matsuoka proves that his idea has merit, he will be eligible to receive another $1 million to support his research.

Mosquitoes are usually considered disease vectors, responsible for transmitting dengue fever and malaria. The Washington Post referred to Matsuoka’s concept of “flying syringes” as a “bold idea.”

This was not the first instance where Gates used his foundation to fund projects to push his pro-vaccine agenda. He also backed a 2019 study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers allowing vaccination data to be stored under the skin. The plan aims to use patterns using a special dye delivered at the same time as the vaccine to make an invisible quantum tattoo.

MIT researchers showed that the dye, consisting of nano-crystals called quantum dots, can remain for at least five years under the skin. The quantum dots emit near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially-equipped smartphone.

Bill Gates has demonstrated that he will do everything – even bribery – just to get his way

The Microsoft founder’s obsession with vaccines reached new heights during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. It came to a point where Gates had to bribe lawmakers in other countries just to see vaccines being tested. A report by Nigerian paper Premium Times said he allegedly offered a $10 million bribe to the Nigeria House of Representatives to pass a mandatory vaccination bill.

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) alleged that it intercepted a human intelligence report on the matter. According to the document, top Nigerian lawmakers were set to pass the Control of Infectious Diseases Bill without presenting it to the floor for debate. CUPP spokesman Imo Ugochinyere said Gates offered the bribe to influence the bill’s speedy passage without a hearing.

He added that Nigerian House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila should be impeached if he forces the bill on House members. But the speaker defended the bill and asserted its content and timing were appropriate – given the current pandemic. Gbajabiamila also pledged that there would be a public hearing where Nigerians would have the opportunity to contribute to the draft law.

In a May 2020 memorandum submitted to Nigerian lawmakers, Gates denied offering bribes to facilitate the bill’s passing. Gates Foundation Health Director for Africa Paulin Basinga also denied the allegations when he appeared before a House hearing. He said there was no interaction whatsoever between himself or the foundation and the Nigeria House of Representatives.

Basinga said: “The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been recently made aware of an allegation … that [it] was involved in a payment purportedly made to the Nigeria House of Representatives. Any such allegations are entirely false and without merit.”

The Gates Foundation health director added that the non-profit “has not offered any financial incentives to any member of Nigeria’s legislative branch for the passage of legislation, nor has it offered any grants to organizations in Nigeria in connection with the same. Basinga reiterated that the foundation adheres to strict ethical and legal guidelines across all areas of its operations.

Yeah, that's where my head is at. We kill the ecosystem, but don't have to deal with mosquitos anymore?? Sounds like a fair trade.

But knowing government results, the female mosquitos will probably end up mating with murder hornets.

You two seem to be taking government's explanation of what it's doing at face value. Thought you knew better.

It's pretty simple. Here and there, some of the genetically modified females will survive. The new genetically modified species will then become part of the ecosystem.

Good. I've been saying for a long time that these "one-off" releases of GM'd mosquitos is a useless half measure.

Just gene drive the shit out of their species and call it a day. If it happens accidentally like you suggest above then - great.
 
Clearly these mosquitos are going to be used to create another pandemic since they spread more diseases than any other animal or insect.
