It seems to me the people here think it's a good idea because they know they won't be dropped on them, they'll be dropped in other countries.

The countries they live in are malaria free because they eradicated the disease-carrying mosquitos and developed their healthcare system.

Developing the healthcare system of a country helps with more diseases and keeps consent. It also doesn't open you up for a potential biological weapon if some entity decided to misuse it (Russia, CIA, etc.)

Not for that much longer. I believe that our Southern States are starting to see malaria mosquitoes (again -they used to be here, before).

There's a few types of malaria, not all are deadly, but none are fun.

But in the Climate Change Sweepstakes, Malaria has the winning ticket...

Yes, Florida for instance recently had their first documented cases of malaria in decades - immediately following the launch of a GMO mosquito manufacturing and distribution lab.

Not to worry: the scientists at lab promised the two events were totally unrelated.

Do you have a source or specific links to learn more about that lab?
