Great, but what are the side effects of releasing these? I agree a lab contamination is unlikely and that the science assures that these mosquitoes can't spread or carry it. But, what are the side effects of releasing these? How many times have we released something to an environment only to realize there were unintended consequences? > The same mosquitos been deployed outside the US, since 2009. In places that already have malaria as far as I know. Plus, a different environment. > There's a saying about being so open minded your brain falls out. Agreed, but there's a certain narrow mindedness to not looking outside the direct effects of doing something. I'd at least review what we are doing and consider unintended consequences.
