well they may not label it as "genetically modified" with the bad rap gmos are getting but they certainly are being genetically modified that's for sureoh and after a quick glance at the article it doesnt actual seem like this is a GMO solution either
not that i would have a problem if it was
why???well they may not label it as "genetically modified" with the bad rap gmos are getting but they certainly are being genetically modified that's for sure
I voted both like and dislike because im undecided
that doesnt mean its GMOI edited and added the why to my last post lol
because I don't understand how there able to accurately assess the consequences to the eco system long term
its all connect manthat doesnt mean its GMO
the consequenses are that there are less disease carrying mosquitos fuck the rest of it
theres a mass extinction event going off at the moment we may as well make the bad fuckers disappear too
still does mean its GMOits all connect man
like dominos
you cant change one thing without it affecting so many other things, and whos to say it doesn't back fire and create some other worse problem

im not sure how you can say its not gmo when it states they changed the chromosome and changed there bacteria
its not a natural insect species...its man made
does anyone know or remember plum island and what happened there after world war 2
they took the Germaine scientists from hitler and put them on plum island to continue there research on how to weaponize ticks for war fair
then all of a sudden in the 70s entire town named Lyme CT became sick from a new infectious disease spread by ticks, called lyme disease or burilio burginof (spelled wrong) which was the name of yet another Germaine scientist
look at a map and see where plum island is compared to lyme CT
then the CDC center of disease control ignored the existence of chronic lyme disease for 40 years and still to this day does all they can to minimize its publicity
its shows a pattern of fuck ups when it comes to these sorts of things
http://www.who.int/whr/1996/media_centre/executive_summary1/en/index9.htmlOf all disease-transmitting insects, the mosquito is the greatest menace, spreading malaria, dengue and yellow fever, which together are responsible for several million deaths and hundreds of millions of cases every year. Mosquitos also transmit lymphatic filariasis and Japanese encephalitis.
Malaria is endemic in 91 countries, with about 40% of the world's population at risk. By undermining the health and working capacity of hundreds of millions, it is closely linked to poverty and stunts social and economic development. Up to 500 million cases occur every year, 90% of them in Africa, and there are up to 2.7 million deaths annually.
Dengue is the world's most important mosquito-borne virus disease, with 2500 million people worldwide at risk of infection and 20 million cases a year in more than 100 countries. In 1995, the worst dengue epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean for 15 years struck at least 14 countries, causing more than 200 000 cases of dengue fever and almost 6000 cases of the more serious dengue haemorrhagic fever.
first of all, if you don't care about my point of view then why did you specifically ask me for iti dont care about your point of view and i couldnt give a flying fuck if someone did manage to profit off of killing mosquito's (the chances are they wont)
this is not a GMO solution (there are some) and bullshit to your scaremongering
first of all, if you don't care about my point of view then why did you specifically ask me for it
all I said was I was undecided and you asked me why
second, I didn't state my reservations in my original post because I thought the potential reasons for concern was obvious, again I will say, you asked me why I have concerns and then when I answer your question you call me a scaremonger
third
the video stated it was being used in 9 states in the U.S.
the US has only a few cases of zika per year , like 7 to 12 maybe if I recall
as climate change hits the disease carrying mosquito's are moving north into the us
the video doesn't say where going to use it in Africa to save millions of lives
last malaria for example;
has an inexpensive solution, a simple pill and yet thousands die in Africa each year from malaria and several other disease
despite the minimal costs we still don't provide the meds and let them die because of profit motives
if you don't care about my point of view don't ask me for it.... that's called baiting
now that ive said all that
I understand the benefits,
but these things don't show the hazards for 30 too 50 years time, so I have some concern about it not being properly vetted due to the profit motive, much like the lyme vaccine
that doesn't mean you should jump my shit
no the bacteria wasnt its just a different strainThe mosquitoes were not genetically modified; the bacteria they're carrying likely were.
