Why do they worry about virus spreading insects when we can just drop the virus off from aircraft over their heads? And we are getting slowly saturated with illnesses from illegal aliens as it is now. Whooping cough, tuberculosis, leprosy, the pork tapeworm which causes cysticercosis, typhoid. River blindness, malaria, and guinea worm, have all been brought to Northern Virginia by immigration. And as these people go to work in services like food processing, construction, and hospitality services, all these and more will appear and we are not prepared for them. The different flues are only a small piece of the problem. And they’re worried about virus carrying insects? The priorities are out of place.

I liked the Israeli crocodiles, but military virus-spreading insects? That’s a three-fer.

OK, you have to stop making sense and go put on a tinfoil hat like the rest.

Great. A few hundred thousand Ebola bearing mosquitoes at $10 million apiece in the hands of the same people who loaded up on Chinese made computer motherboards with a backdoor built into them.

If a cornfield were hit by an unexpected drought or suddenly exposed to a pathogen, for example, Insect Allies might deploy an army of aphids carrying a genetically modified virus to slow the corn plant's growth rate. Seems to me that drought or pathogens would have already slowed the corn's growth rate. So what would be the point of slowing it even more? If the corn doesn't mature before the frost comes it's a loss no matter what slowed it down. Duh!

Insects. We’re fond of insects as long as they’re not in our homes.

Me. Especially. And now, I’m going to take my silly self to bed because if I stay up any longer, I’ll be accused of playing favorites.
See you in the morning, wherever we are! ;o]

I hope you have a good night. And I hope I have a good night. I can’t think of anything to panic over right now, so that’s a plus.

They were beaten to the punch, someone released West Nile Virus infested mosquitoes years ago.

Yep!
This crap hasbeen going on for decades.
They don’t need the insects, that is what vaccines do: spread disease rapidly.

Imagine if Obama science czar Holdren had his demented ideas implemented.
Vaccines that purposely killed you would be one way to “liquidate” a large portion of the population rapidly in order to -in their minds- “save the earth.”
He advocated liquidating several million people.
