Why don't we kill off some of the humans instead? It's sad when a child dies of malaria, but anymore I'm wondering just what makes us think we deserve to be her

Why don't we kill off some of the humans instead? It's sad when a child dies of malaria, but anymore I'm wondering just what makes us think we deserve to be here more than any other animal, insect, etc? Epidemics are tools of nature to deal with an unbalanced ecology. People are far more destructive to the environment and have been around for far less longer than the mosquito, which has been here since the beginning. At least something like a mosquito is honest about its intentions. It wants to have a handy blood meal from you. A human, on the other hand, will engage in varying forms of deceit, deception and then probably fuck your mother behind your back, before they sucks you dry. Which one would you rather have around? Something to think on next time your get bit by one.
