Start breeding mosquitoes in your back yard and see how fast you get a citation from the city.

The accepted practice of instituting programs without the consent of the people needs to STOP! We have NO idea of the long-term effects of these releases.

Also, please note that NewsTarget has a related article about the release of mosquitoes in Florida.

How much are we going to take?!

On the other hand, is there a point where we can say this is safe and the benefits are worth the risk? I don't feel we are there now. It doesn't help that I give zero credibility to "the science" after this covid BS.

I'm an avid hiker/backpacker, I would love to not have to worry about lyme disease.

Well, there are theories that Lyme was a "gift" from them, too: https://ballmedicalclinic.com/did-lyme-disease-originate-from-plum-island/

Those deer ticks are so tiny - def hard to spot.

Completely agree. And shouldn't we answer the risk-benefit question beforehand?

I had heard that about lyme disease. I would not be surprised one bit if that was true.

That is the sticky question. I'm sure Oxitec and the government feels it has. I have no faith in the prudence of their conclusion.
