GMO Mosquitos is not a new show on FX, but rather reality that may be coming to the Florida Keys in the very near future. Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is responsible for the spread of the Zika virus, has been found in Florida, and thus the push to get these genetically modified mosquitoes released has become of utmost priority, for some.
Oxitec, the British producer of the GMO mosquite, is pushing for the release as well. CEO, Hadyn Parry said, “This mosquito is non-native to the US and difficult to control, with the best available methods only able to reduce the population by up to 50 percent, which is simply not enough.”
The rising risk of a mosquito infestation and disease outbreak presents an opportunity for one British firm, Oxitec, which has developed a method for breeding Aedes aegypti that kills mosquito larvae, AP reported.
According to Oxitec’s website, the process involves injecting a “lethal gene” into either the male sperm or female egg that eventually kills the offspring, according to Truth and Action.
However, not everyone is on board, as some residents of the Keys have collected 160,000 signatures to petition against the release. There has been bitter opposition by those who are staunchly againt the “genetic modification industry”.

When you go out to vote, don’t vote for yourself –
VOTE FOR YOUR CHILDREN OR YOUR FAMILIES CHILDREN- VOTE HOW YOU SEE THE FUTURE BEST SERVES THEM. –
Ask yourself do I want to leave them with 20 + trillion in debt and growing, like the career politicians would have you do.
Useless health care getting higher by the day when law breakers get full coverage for free – thanks to all our career politician’s amnesty plans.
Drugs and criminals freely flowing from Mexico into your communities while the politicians look the other way for political gains.
Would you leave them with a crippled military that has been limited by budget cuts when a sitting president chooses to spend 750 million dollars on illegal immigrates Obama care and 150 billion dollars to build up Iran’s military.
Will you choose to leave them with a country where the career politicians talk big and then sell your children’s jobs or standard of living out to foreign countries. Soon our children won’t be able to afford college and they sure can’t afford to compete with all this illegal labor in fluxing into their jobs market. Ask yourself what am I leaving my children today when I cast my ballot.
I SAY WE VOTE FOR OUR CHILDREN TODAY – INSTEAD OF THE CAREER POLITICIANS VOTE CHILDREN OF TOMORROW …………
THEN WHEN YOU GO HOME YOU LOOK THEM DEAD IN THE EYES AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU VOTED FOR……………
Cause regular mosquito’s weren’t enough
Say what?
What could go wrong?
Kill all Mosquitoes !!!!
Doesn’t it say something in Revelations about winged scorpions?
