    I’m in favor of anything that gets us closer to making mosquitos extinct. Either the ecosystem adapts, or it’s now on an only-slightly-steeper nose dive toward total collapse than it is anyway with the amount of non-mosquito related damage we’re causing every day.

    Like, if we’re fucked anyway, let’s be fucked in the relative comfort of a world without mosquitos!
