FACT: The technology has not been proven
safe for the environment or public health.
Myth: GE mosquitoes are safe for
humans and the environment.

The company claims that its GE mosquitoes are “sterile.” Actually,
the mosquitoes do reproduce, but they pass on a
lethal gene that theoretically causes the off spring to
die before reaching adulthood. However, Oxitec’s data
show that 3 to 4 percent of the GE mosquito off spring
survive, with unknown impacts on the environment.

"Even if these futuristic bugs successfully wipe out the
entire population of the target A. aegypti mosquito,
another species will likely ll the ecosystem void.
The Asian tiger mosquito — one of the world’s more
invasive species—is also a known vector for dengue
fever and other diseases. Allowing tiger mosquitoes to
become the dominant species would only make a new
dengue fever carrier more prevalent."

FACT: There is currently no clear federal
authority over GE mosquitoes in the
United States.
Oxitec Myth: Regulatory authority is
accountable and will keep the public safe.

Conclusion: Florida is so screwed.

 

yup

 

The south comes with mosquitoes. Get over it.

 

Everything that has been happening to me in the past five days.

That's what.

 

<^^^^ pow!!!

 

Starvation?? Locusts?? Plague?? Death of all non-gmo crops?? Nibiru??
A lot of things.....chief among them, though....stupid useless surfers?? <grin>

 

the irrational frequently write off consequence of their policies as 'for the good of the cause'. 'So what if people die, those evil corporations got theirs'. Hell Rachel Carson is one of the greatest mass murders in history but the enviros gloss over that.

 

Anal Herpes???

Just wanted to keep the tread going.

 

^any Herpes...

 

true

 

Ai

 

People who talk about GMO crops to me are worse.

I'd rather eat a delicious GMO apple than hear about it.

 

A lot of people were freaked out about Dolly The Sheep when that was happening (although rumor has it that Roy got very excited). I don't really see it going anywhere.

 

To anyone eating genetically modified anything. Please, no offspring. The human race is already in deep poop. Gonna be looking like a Star Wars bar.

 

is this a bad thing?

and pump, expand on the mass murderess Ms Carson, how so?
