This will probably work for 20 years, due to evolution they’ll just re-evolve that thing hard

Horrible and unethical idea: We modify the mosquito to strongly prefer the blood of some specific animal species. Said species will then be raised in captivity only for it to be sacrificed to the mosquitos. This way they get to procreate and spread the modified gene to new generations, and keep them alive for the ecosystem to feed on.

Mosquitoes are the new Gods.

It's already happened, we're the sacrifice...

Yeah but those little bastards started it. People call what's happening in Gaza a genocide but that's nothing compared with the mozzie kill count.

I'm having a hard time actually finding a source for this. Just a few poorly written articles that basically cite this video as a source. Something this potentially impactful seems like it would make the rounds more, so I'm very skeptical.

"sir, there's been a complication...it seems the mosquitoes with our gene are dying off in water ways and directly polluting the waters....humans may never be erect again."
