Recently, a company owned by Google’s parent corporation Alphabet, Verily announced plans to release 20 million mosquitoes on Fresno, California, to allegedly kill mosquitoes that carry disease...
“It plans to release 1 million infected mosquitoes every week for 20 weeks over the summer in an attempt to decrease the wild mosquito population in two 300 acre neighborhoods in the Fresno area.”
The mosquitoes are infected with “Wolbachia pipientis,” a bacteria that renders male mosquitoes sterile, so when the (allegedly) all male mosquitoes are released and breed with Fresno’s female population, the eggs will not carry life and the mosquitoes will die out. They of course claim the bacteria is not harmful to humans.
