- pvaldes 4y agoAnd mosquitoes are the same as pox viruses now?
- Fatnino 4y agoNo, one of them has caused many more human deaths than the other.
- pvaldes 4y agoSo what? Still the wrong metric to compare both organisms
- Fatnino 4y agoWhy? An organism that causes millions of human deaths needs to be wiped out. This is an evolutionary imperative. If a species (humans) get out-competed to death at large scale it will go extinct.
- pvaldes 4y ago> An organism that causes millions of human deaths needs to be wiped out. Not necessarily; that would be suicidal. And take in mind that you are perfectly describing humans (and dogs)
- Fatnino 4y agoAnd snakes. But mosquitoes blow the rest of these out of the water with staggering numbers of human deaths on their hands. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deadliest_animals_to_humans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deadliest_animals_to...
