    Really tired of trying to read your articles after being blocked by popups that won’t go away unless i sign up or buy something. Unfollowing you. Stupid$#%&!@*tactics.

    There’s nothing to worry about. They’ve given them an STD which will kill off this year’s eggs. It’s a naturally occurring and very common parasitic bacterium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolbachia) which naturally infects bugs up to 70% of insects, and some species even NEED it to continue breeding.

    It’s late. I’m tired. Read them yourself:

    All they did was infect loads on purpose to help nature do what it already does.

    What happens to the animals that feed on mosquitoes? What is the rest of the biological impact?

    A Domino effect of sick animals. Man will be the doom of the earth.

    They were not genetically engineered. They were infected with Wolbachia bacteria. The naturally occurring (harmless to humans) bacteria create a no viable egg when the infected male mates with a female. Stop your fear mongering.

    It being known for quite some time now that when a person catches the flu a little bit of that food DNA is released into the human and vice versa so does mosquitoes get the flu or viruses?
