Do it !
Google???
These people are screwing with elements of a system that God designed and understands better than they do. The hubris here is stunning. Unbelievable really.
Experts!
What could possibly go wrong?
Life will find a way.
Google claims that artificial intelligence and robotic systems would be used to breed, sort, and release the mosquitoes
Hasta La Vista, Baby!
What could go wrong? Everything?
What could possibly go wrong? /sarc
So what if the infected males are gay?
Are they checked before release?
Or they go gay when put in a big bunch of all males?
Just go back to the mosquito spray trucks that used to come through my neighborhood as a boy. We loved the orange flashing lights and running through the “mist” on the way home.
Also being released are boxes of Lone Star ticks to spread alpha gal syndrome.
The more people who are allergic to beef, the more people will be forced to eat fake meat.
“Bill Gates is a major financial backer of the alternative protein industry, heavily investing in plant-based and lab-grown meat to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.”
Don’t trust Google or Bill Gates
Did they get all the environmental permits?
I doubt it.
You can’t drain a small pond.
They can release millions of mosquitoes?
No way.
I think in Africa.
He started talking about this 17 years ago.
Kind of like the next Covid 19 vaccine.
No longer optional, however.
Birds, bats, and dragonfly insects eat mosquitoes.
New York and Martha’s Vineyard.
Tell Gates we will not be his lab rats.
The bacteria is harmless to humans and we are already exposed to it when we eat produce or even get bitten by a regular mosquito. If this works to kill off mosquitoes spreading dangerous diseases I say go for it. There’s parts of Florida where you’ll get swarmed by mosquitoes even in the daytime.
Mosquitos are particularly bad in my part of Texas this year. I don’t know of anyone who has contracted any of those diseases this year, I believe West Nile is the most common around here. I knew one police officer who had it about 20 years ago and it crippled him for life. He is still in a wheelchair as far as I know.

I never went outside at dusk in order to avoid the West Nile Virus in Michigan. Most people got it and lived but I am still not immune to it like them.
Apparently got into Michigan in the stagnant water on tires on flat decks of ships coming in from Africa. Others coming out of the cargo doors of planes and then breeding in the weeds by the airports.
If G**gle’s behind it, no good can come from it.
