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”.

Using mosquitoes that are sterile is nothing new. Pest control has been doing this for decades.
If you kill off the mosquitos then millions of birds that feed on them will die off. God has nature in balance. Takes man to mess it up.
Contact your representatives. Tell them NO!
I was recently down in the Keys, they were spraying big time…Holy s**t
The only problem w/ your “theory” is that Zika doesn’t kill. It affects the fetus causing microcephaly & thus a disabled person more dependent on society.
Now the anti-vaxers come crawling out. But if we had polio running rampant, maybe those anti-vaxers would never have been born…
They say this has been around since 1949 why has it taken so long to inform people and why hasn’t a vaccine been prepared guess it didn’t involve a lot of money then.
Transported for sure
