It's impossible to predict what will happen in the wild once genetically modified organisms are released, and there is no way to undo the release. There has been a trial on Cayman Islands that was a failure. They found that the number of female adult mosquitos was actually increased after the trials started.

I get a "Safari can't find the server" on this link. Your second link worked and info was very interesting.

Bees, flies and moths are also dying out. Great idea to deliberately speed up the extinction of insects.See that these people stop existing if you want your offspring to continue.How Mosquitoes Pollinate Flowers
Although bees are the best known insect pollinators, other insects also are constantly at...homeguides.sfgate.com
My impression is that the people who live in areas where GMO mosquitoes are released are not so fond of the idea. It's not "we humans".Bees, flies and moths are also dying out. Great idea to deliberately speed up the extinction of insects.
Why are we humans so dumb
Good point and can't be said too often.My impression is that the people who live in areas where GMO mosquitoes are released are not so fond of the idea. It's not "we humans".
Sorry for being nitpicky. I think that we need to be more clear with language. It's not "we humans" who are destroying the environment. Let's name the real culprits.
Yes "we humans" are stupid because as a whole, we do absolutely nothing to stop "the real culprits".My impression is that the people who live in areas where GMO mosquitoes are released are not so fond of the idea. It's not "we humans".

I would still prefer to blame the wrongdoers, and I wouldn't say that people are dumb. We are all subject to disinformation, people are manipulated, distracted, brainwashed, and maybe many are too lazy or too tired to do their own research, or they think they did research something, but they haven't learned how to do it properly. Some think that they are too small to change anything. Society conditions people to conformity. Many are not raised in a way that encourages you to trust your inner guidance system. The good news is that once a person changes the perspective, there is no way back. To lump it all up under "the mass is dumb" is not helping.Yes "we humans" are stupid because as a whole, we do absolutely nothing to stop "the real culprits".
There are Billions of us. There are maybe hundreds of "the real culprits". We can easily stop them if enough of us want to.
Yet we are letting them ruin our lives and honestly, most people would agree if you ask them if they want to kill mosquitoes (or enforce face mask mandate or add fluoride to water or whatever).
You don't find that stupid?
I see where you are coming from, but taking out personal responsibility doesn't help either.I would still prefer to blame the wrongdoers, and I wouldn't say that people are dumb.

I agree with most of what you say. For me the saddest part is when people delegate the responsibility for their health. I think this shows it most clearly how disconnected those people are from themselves.I see where you are coming from, but taking out personal responsibility doesn't help either.
Lack of personal responsibility is what leads to situation like this in the first place. Everybody hopes that somebody does something, and at the end of the day, nobody does nothing.
Everybody is responsible for their own health and well being. If somebody or something threaten your life and you choose not to do anything about it, you will be eliminated from gene pool. Simple as that. You might not like it, but that's just how nature works.
The worst part about this is that the poor bees, flies and mosquitoes really don't have an ability to anything about it. They can only submit and be killed of. We humans do have this ability, pretty much each of us, and we choose not to. I'm finding this f*d up and stupid. Sorry.
Very well said!I agree with most of what you say. For me the saddest part is when people delegate the responsibility for their health. I think this shows it most clearly how disconnected those people are from themselves.
Regarding the original topic... It doesn't look like the release of those genetically modified mosquitoes achieves what it is supposed to achieve. And even if it helped to reduce the numbers of adult female mosquitoes, they would at best disturb the natural balance for a while, and there is so much that can go wrong on the way.

I don't know. I don't remember anything said on Attorney Jeff Childers' Coffee & Covid blog. And he mentions a lot including that bill DeSantis signed allowing continuance of the hospitals' special protection against Covid patients' complaints.Yeah this is what bothers me about DeSantis; why he allowed the release of these in Florida. Why has no one confronted him about this?
