The known bad is hundreds of thousands of people dying <i>every year</i>.  It&#x27;s pretty hard to conceive of how a <i>laboratory tested</i> solution which kills&#x2F;slows down mosquitoes could be any worse than that, particularly when all sorts of genetic modifications are occurring <i>by the billions</i> in nature every single day without <i>any testing&#x2F;verification</i>.<p>You know what would turn around everyone&#x27;s attitude in about 7 days flat (probably fewer) - have those hundreds of thousands of people dying a year be white, rich, Americans.  Every conceivable solution to wipe out the mosquitos would be developed, and rolled out with <i>zero</i> debate (and I mean zero - there wouldn&#x27;t be a single naysayer of any merit)
