Genetically engineered mosquitoes get EPA approval for Florida release despite objections from environmental groups

A genetically modified male mosquito named OX5034 has received both state and federal approval to be released into the Florida Keys now through 2022, against the objection of many local residents and a coalition of environmental advocacy groups.

"The administration has used tax dollars and government resources for a Jurassic Park experiment, except without the island," said Jaydee Hanson, policy director at the International Center for Technology Assessment and Center for Food Safety, in a statement.Stopping Zika: The GMO mosquito that kills his own offspring"What could possibly go wrong? We don't know, because they unlawfully refused to seriously analyze environmental risks," she said.

More death more uncertainty more of whatever they say

Omg what is that movie where they genetically engineered a roach to kill roach population and it mutated and started to kill humans. Let that sink in....wtf

Maybe they’re testing new ways of vaccinating those who refuse to get vaccinated.

This is the best breakthrough I have ever heard of in years! Bring them to Canada next we are getting eaten alive up here!!

I hope this is not their latest move to transmit Covid 19 and other dangerous virus to more people especially blacks,evil people that will die before time.

This is not a movie people this has been in consideration for a number of years and has to do with environmental concerns that are leading to a growing survival area for vector mosquitoes carrying things like West Nile virus and dengue fever

Oh geez a new version of love bugs

I think we can all agree on one thing. Fuck mosquitoes.

In theory this sounds great. However, making a species extinct will have knock on effects further up the food chain on animals which feed on Aedes Aegypti. Should focus our attention on cures and vaccines for the diseases as well as effective environmentally friendly repellents!

All I’m going to say Is life finds a way

In 20 years we’ll be seeing commercials for compensations 🤦🏽‍♀️

What exactly are we going to do if THIS Mutation can be carried over to humans or other animals (NOT that humans aren't animals) ? ! ? The most dangerous animals on Mother Earth ! !

Interesting idea. If that works well, it will be huge!

Do you guys have connections with people who sale pesticides? This might be defamation

Just give the good mosquitoes guns to stop the bad mosquitoes

Coronalı bir kişiyi soktuktan sonra sivrisinekler, corona virüsünü başkasını da sokma yolu ile taşır mı? Taşıyorsa hapı yuttuk. Kimi şirketler insektisit ( sivrisinek kovucu) satacak diye bu meretten memleketlerini kurtarmayan yöneticilerin Allah belasını versin.

More people die will from mosquito bites this year than the coronavirus. Mosquitoes kill millions per year. And yet “they” are purposely releasing genetically engineered mosquitoes How is this not an act of bio-Terrorism.

Genetically engineered mosquitoes....what could go wrong?!?! 🤦🏽‍♀️

'The administration has used tax dollars and government resources for a Jurassic Park experiment, except without the island.' I'm sorry, what?

lilduval get yo state bruh, level 7 of Jumanji right now ?!
