On the one hand, yes, an excellent comment with some impressive background and credentials.

On the other hand, I'm put off by this rejection of differing viewpoints:

"While contrarianism is a valuable american (and human) trait, in this situation it is misplaced, mis-informed, and dangerous. An educated man's anti-vaxx, if you will."

... which employs a fairly lazy pejorative to dismiss (people that think perhaps we shouldn't eliminate mosquitos).

I believe I quote Will Durant: "The mosquito is the enemy of civilization" and I am intrigued, generally, by the idea of eliminating mosquitos ... but I also adhere to the precautionary principal.

Maybe save a breeding stock and frozen eggs, etc., in case there is some hidden consequence we didn't think of ?
