Amongst the many concerns (like unanticipated downstream ecological effects), some people are worried that genetically modified DNA might get into humans after being bitten. It's a fear that some outside observers say hasn't been proven one way or another, even though Oxitec claims it isn't possible.

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 64801191 United States 01/26/2015 12:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of particular concern is the fact that a recent study showed that the same GM mosquitoes released in Brazil did not, in fact, lead to a drop in dengue fever. The number of mosquito eggs fell by an impressive 92% in the city of Jacobina in eastern Brazil—but it did not lead to a drop in the incidence of dengue itself. In fact, there are concerns in Brazil that GM mosquitoes could make dengue outbreaks worse, since a second more invasive species could move into the ecological niche left by lowered populations of the target species. - See more at: [link to healthimpactnews.com] However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1258335 You've never had one of the mosquito born diseases have you?!!!! in KeyWest, Florida, when they were/probably still are, having their usual (whatever) malaria outbreak, they were calling it "Summer Flu", so that the tourists wouldnot leave: this sort of thing is normal everywhere (money first, health and life second). Therefore i would say just about everyone has it, and, of course, i have it, the difference between you and me is that i appreciate it, since, when the temperatures get so hot, you can hardly stand them (and could,even die from it (heatStroke)), you start getting chills that give relief, and protection from the dreadful heat. Ya gotta get with the program, Sweety. Instead of cussing God for what you donot have; thank Him for what you do have. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67342889 Russia 01/26/2015 05:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Forced Vaccination with live herpes simplex virus and E. coli bacteria, Mosquitoes have a short life cycle, what starts out working to kill off mosquitoes may soon be killing off humans and Animals. Seriously, Oxitec, a British biotech company that patented a method of breeding Aedes aegypti with fragments of genes from the herpes simplex virus and E. coli bacteria as well as coral and cabbage. This synthetic DNA is commonly used in laboratory science and is thought to pose no significant risks to other animals, but it kills mosquito larvae. Did none of these people watch the Jurassic Park Movies? When Humans Play God, without the complete Knowledge of God, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad things are bound to happen. Agent Orange, Roundup Ready GMO Foods, Depleted Uranium Munitions come to mind, one Genocide being approved by the USA Government at a time. |
