I’m a little dumb. Can you help me explain what’s going on here?
They released a bunch of genetically modified mosquitoes, that sabotage reproduction and decrease the mosquito population.
About 3 years later, malaria was found in the same area as the decreased mosquito population.
Are you suggesting that they genetically modified the mosquitoes to have malaria?That’s not how malaria works. Are you suggesting that they were just releasing malaria mosquitoes? Then why would they draw so much attention to themselves?
Now that we’re finding malaria in that area, shouldn’t we be trying to control the mosquito population and be glad that they have been suppressing it?
