As you probably know very well, there must have been similar arguments when they killed off birds in China during the cultural revolution... :-)<p>(Sure, you can breed mosquitoes quickly, but what happens until the birds or something else which used to eat them breeds back into reasonable numbers? I don&#x27;t know, you don&#x27;t know. That is just one unknown.)<p>I&#x27;m not really arguing, I do agree that people have precedence over bugs. But changes like these have bad precedents. And a catastrophe here might make changes in some other place politically impossible, with even worse results.
