The stinging mosquito; the blood-sucking beast; the destroyer of your evening peace; and the silent killer of your midnight sleep. Who knew these pesky little super-spreader of diseases could be transformed into flying vaccine-carrying syringes.
Turning killers into saviours
The story goes back 11 years ago when a group of Japanese researchers genetically engineered mosquitoes that spread vaccines instead of disease. Now normally when mosquitoes bite, they inject a tiny drop of saliva that prevents your blood from clotting. What this group did was add an antigen--a compound that triggers an immune response--to the mix of proteins in their saliva.
For their study, the group attached SP15 vaccine against leishmaniasis--a parasitic disease spread by sand flies that can cause skin sores and organ damage--to a malaria mosquito. These mosquitoes produced SP15 in their saliva, the team reported in their paper published in Insect Molecular Biology, and mice bitten by these mosquitoes produced antibodies against the parasite.
However, the team wasn’t sure whether the immune response was strong enough to protect against infection. In the experiment, mice were bitten some 1,500 times on average; and although that number may seem quite staggering, other studies show that in places where malaria is rampant, people get bitten more than 100 times a night…

How about Beagles?
what if they just put it in cigarettes and vape products. that’s what i’d do and use vaccines as a red herring.

What next dodo birds?
or maybe giant mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds that would be so cool
I vote no. Obviously the plan has ‘medical consent’ issues.
Well, that solves the messy problem of people having a choice and choosing not to get the vaccination.
With mosquitos dispensing the vaccine, people will receive varying levels of it. Some people tend to attract bug bites due to scents given off by their skin or their blood.
Just to get an adequate amount, people may require multiple bites. Better than nothing, but not fully practical.
No, no, no full stop.
You have no right to infect me with anything, to do so is an act of aggravated assault, malfeasance and misfeasance.
It is a threat of great bodily harm which gives me the right to use deadly force to stop your actions. Its also a war crime.
Drop the virous now and step away, or be prepared for swift and assured judgment.
In addition to reducing underfunded liabilities, it could free up housing and traffic in southern Florida…. /s
It would be easy to vaccinate heroin addicts.
“Consent” is so last decade....
“How about Beagles?”
Lol! ....sounds like you have experience.
What if they just left nature alone....
Interesting article.
The title is not true though.
They never tried it on people.
Who do they think they are
What could possibly go wrong?
Doesn’t matter...the fact they tried it at all means they considered it.
Fauxi did some horrible experiments on beagles using insects. (I forget which ones)
