Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Can we genophage the mosquitoes now?

For too long humanity has suffered at the hands of these creatures. Its time for us to fight back and mess with their reproduction.

There's work being done on something better still.

"Transmissible vaccination is a type of inoculation that targets wild animals and can spread between hosts autonomously, with the goal of preventing transmission of animal pathogens to human populations."
