It's not talking about releasing them in the wild. It would be how you get your shot, because apparently it resulted in better protection when delivered through a bite for some reason.

But I get your general sentiment. It's a scary thought, not just this, but the idea that we are now in a place where someone could use mosquitos to deliver chemical weapons, kind of scary.

Also, I'm no expert, but I'm not sure that is a right, if I understand Roe vs Wade reversal, it means the constitution is no longer interpreted to assume bodily autonomy as a constitutional right. And even if it was, that's just in the US, there's many countries where this wouldn't be the case.

It also begs the question, many things enter our bodies, all pollutants for example, radiation, and so on, and we tend to have no or very little say into that as well, what makes it into our waters and air and food, and so on.

Anyways, I think it's an interesting topic, and a good one to discuss.
