[“Fake mosquitoes inject the COVID-19 virus with their noses”] Answer: Zero. The COVID-19 virus cannot live in a mosquito host- any mosquito host, genetically altered or otherwise. I don’t think you understand the principle here. The “fake” mosquitos do not bite, they are male non-biting mosquitoes. So they cannot inject the COVID-19 virus with their noses ( proboscis). So your “very dumb idea” is based on a false premise. There are plenty of objections to the release of GMO mosquitos, yours is decidedly not one that anyone would take seriously; so to avoid sounding so ill informed, I would keep that thinking to yourself. |
