This is why I'm afraid of mosquitoes. Fighting them means creating a superhuman (super mosquito?) version that will be resistant to everything. When they find new diseases to obliterate the human race with, we are done.
Personally, I believe that mosquitos are far more concerning than any other impending environmental disaster.

Additionally, if hundreds of thousands of Americans died of malaria each year, we would have found much more effective cures (consider that there are already very effective ones that simply aren't widely used), just like we did with Covid.
