Cities across US make rare move to spray chemicals through streets in response to onslaught of deadly mosquito-borne infections

Cities America are spraying chemicals through their streets in response to a rise in several deadly mosquito-borne illnesses, in an unprecedented move.

Massachusetts, New York, Texas and California are among the states deploying pesticides to repel the increasingly disease-ridden insects.

The decision comes on the heels of an onslaught of mosquito-borne illnesses throughout the US, including West Nile Virus, which hospitalized White House Covid doctor Anthony Fauci this month, 'Triple E', a brain-swelling disease that has killed two Americans so far this year, and 'sloth fever', a disease transmitted from sloths to mosquitos.

Officials are spraying the streets at night when people are less likely to be outside to reduce residents' exposure to the chemicals, which can be harmful to breathe in or ingest. The doses will also be 'ultra-low volume'.

Other areas have taken equally drastic measures, including imposing curfews to limit people's exposure to mosquito bites.

A number of Americans have died from mosquito-borne illnesses this year, including a New Hampshire man who died from EEE earlier this month. It was the state's first human case in 10 years.

In Massachusetts, towns in southern Worcester County and Plymouth County have taken an aggressive approach to fighting mosquito-borne illness this month after an 80 year old man from Worcester County caught EEE - the state's first human case since 2020.

EEE is a rare but serious virus that spreads to humans via infected mosquito bites. It causes swelling in the brain, and roughly 30 percent of infected people do not survive.

To curb the spread of this virus, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health will spray the pesticide Anvil 10+10 from trucks and planes overnight, starting shortly after dusk and ending in the early morning.

All they have to do is tie bill gates in that area Let bugs eat him. He built them, he let them go after he infected them. Gates warned us all we needed to trim from 8 billion to just few millions. His passion is eugenics.

Many years after Rachel Carson, who in her book “Silent Spring” quoted a scientist who claimed DDT was causing bird egg shells to become thinner, he admitted that he had “cooked the books” and DDT wasn’t causing egg shells to become thinner.

I recall all suburban streets being sprayed with ddt once or twice a summer. And it was sprayed down the driveways in to the yards.

My aunt caught malaria in Connecticut in the early part of 20th century. At the shore. Near marshes

Spring Branch used to be a fine area and one of the best school districts in America, but that was before mass immigration and instant forced integration.

Read RFKs book on the number of times our government released ticks infected with a new disease on American Citizens.
Did you suffer from Lyme disease? It was intentional. Same as COVID.
He goes through lots of other experiments on America- and he is just touching the surface of their experiments on us and our families.

Nothing a little DDT wouldn’t fix.

In fact, in the 1980s we could even play outside well into the night, with very few if any skeeto bites.

With the huge numbers of homeless and the hot and wet summer the possibility of severe outbreaks is likely very high.

So are these illnesses the result of the mosquitos simply expanding to the north, or are they carried by illegals and then spread on by mosquitos?

I left in like 1977 when I got My DL and only went back a few times for Christmas at Dad and Mom’s.

The only good thing is I learned to drive there. Gained lots of valuable experience in driving there, I drove deliveries for Auto Parts Store all day 6 days a week.

I remember those DDT trucks in the summertime. Spraying the neighborhoods. We kids would chase after those trucks inhaling big lungfuls of that stuff. We are still going strong in our 60s. The best thing was that the summers were mosquito-free. These days I have to wear my homemade mosquito outfit to beat the suckers onslaught.
