Hopefully Congress will fund the use of GMO Mosquitos to help eliminate Aedes aegypti

the keys are supposed to get Monsanto mosquitoes. no one i know of wants those mosquitoes in their neck of the woods.

this was interesting.

http://www.sciencealert.com/argentinian-report-says-monsanto-linked-pesticide-is-to-blame-for-microcephaly-outbreak-not-zika

as is this

not that i am a scientist or anything but i think spending 1.? billion on this is a bit much. especially when there is no proof that one caused the other.

when you say these mosquitoes-are you referring to the ones that are purported to have something to do with the deformity? or to the ones that are supposed to CONTROL THE ZIKA MOSQUITOES?

who is more reliable-the cdc or who? is one as good as another?

The WHO and CDC work together. Monsanto does not do GMO Mosquitos, nor does Monsanto make Zika. Oxitec is the company that does the GM mosquitos
