I had my grandfather dying from a bacterial infection developed while hospitalized, not responding well to antibiotics. I know how that feels.
Having close people die does change our perception, but science requires objectivity and a move like this requires careful planning, as you have to admit, we aren't known for making the best choices in healthcare.
And an ecological disaster probably won't happen, but lets consider that it does for the sake of argument, having as result a much lower yield for the crops in Africa or the rest of the world for a while. It's not impossible and the world's supply of food is actually very fragile. So you save millions from the spread of viruses, but then starve them to death.
I'm not against killing all mosquitoes, I'm just against doing it without thoroughly researching the effects and having a prepared contingency plan.
