How about some old fashioned disease doom?

People in the US have had Dengue before but they always caught it while traveling to 3rd world countries. This is the very first time someone in the US caught the virus from local mosquitos, and health officials are very afraid it is spreading.

Most people recover after a week but this disease can be extremely painful, which is why it is called "break bone fever", your muscles, bones and joints can be horribly painful. In some cases it becomes dengue hemorrhagic fever.

A dangerous viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes has seemingly landed in Arizona. Earlier this week, health officials reported that a Maricopa County resident recently contracted dengue, while routine surveillance has found traces of the dengue virus in at least one nearby mosquito population. These discoveries suggest that the infection could be spreading locally in the state for the first time, though the investigation is still ongoing.

Maricopa County field teams made up of staff and volunteers are now offering dengue testing to residents ages 5 and older in the neighborhood where the latest case was discovered. The testing can identify an infection which might have occurred in the "last several months," the county said. They are also providing residents with mosquito prevention kits.

So now they are releasing Gates GMO mosquitos smoothered with Dengue and probably a sprinkle of ebolla, vaccine, flu

yada yada Diseases like this are tropical, they need hot sweaty heat to survive, its not doom.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?

O Christ, do Thou my soul prepare
For that bright home of love
That I may see Thee and adore

Maybe they shouldn't have released a whole bunch of gmo mosquitos that supposedly won't bite.

They supposedly are modified to sterilize other mosquitoes but they used a bacteria to modify them which can apparently be nullified by an antibiotic commonly used in stock tanks for fish.

Biotech firm announces results from first US trial of genetically modified mosquitoes
Oxitec reports that its insects behaved as planned — but a larger trial is needed to learn whether they can reduce wild mosquito populations.

Researchers have completed the first open-air study of genetically engineered mosquitoes in the United States. The results, according to the biotechnology firm running the experiment, are positive. But larger tests are still needed to determine whether the insects can achieve the ultimate goal of suppressing a wild population of potentially virus-carrying mosquitoes.

The experiment has been under way since April 2021 in the Florida Keys, a chain of tropical islands near the southern tip of Florida. Oxitec, which developed the insects, released nearly five million engineered Aedes aegypti mosquitoes over the course of seven months, and has now almost completed monitoring of the release sites.

Based in Abingdon, UK, the firm reported the first results from the experiment during a webinar on 6 April, although it has not yet published the data.

Following the plan
Wild A. aegypti mosquitoes can carry viruses such as chikungunya, dengue, Zika and yellow fever, so scientists have sought ways to reduce their populations. Oxitec’s engineered males carry a gene that is lethal to female offspring. If all goes to plan, when released into the environment, the engineered males will mate with wild females, and their female offspring will die before they can reproduce. Male offspring will carry the gene and pass it on to half of their progeny. As each generation mates, more females die, and the A. aegypti population should dwindle.


First genetically modified mosquitoes released in the United States

To make sure the mosquitoes follow this scheme, researchers placed boxes of Oxitec mosquito eggs on private properties in the Keys and surrounded them with traps, covering a radius of more than 400 metres. Some traps served as egg-laying sites, and others caught adult mosquitoes.

The researchers found that the males that hatched from the eggs typically travelled within a one-hectare area around the release box — the same range over which wild A. aegypti fly. The engineered mosquitoes, which don’t bite, mated with the wild population, and wild females laid eggs in Oxitec traps, as well as in sites such as flower pots, rubbish-bin lids and soft-drink cans.

Oxitec researchers collected more than 22,000 eggs from the traps and took them back to their laboratory to hatch under observation. The firm reported that all females that inherited the lethal gene died before reaching adulthood. (Researchers can determine this because mosquitoes carrying the lethal gene fluoresce under certain light.)


US government approves 'killer' mosquitoes to fight disease

Furthermore, the team found that the lethal gene persisted in the wild population for two to three months, or about three generations of mosquito offspring, and then disappeared. No mosquitoes carrying the lethal gene were found beyond 400 metres of the release points, even after several generations. Oxitec monitors the sites for ten weeks after the last lethal gene-carrying mosquito is found.

“I like the way they’re going about it,” says Thomas Scott, an entomologist at the University of California, Davis. “They’re doing it in a systematic, thoughtful way. So I’m encouraged, but they have a lot of work ahead of them,” he says.

The pilot study was not intended to determine how well the method suppresses the wild population. Oxitec plans to gather those data in an extension of the Florida Keys study. It needs approval from state regulators, but hopes to begin soon. The company plans to release mosquitoes at a second study site in Visalia, California, where it is building a research and development facility.

Quashing outbreaks
But these expanded studies will not assess whether Oxitec’s method reduces transmission of dengue or other viruses carried by A. aegypti. “They’re not going to be able to do a trial to show that it actually has a public-health impact,” Scott says. “There’s not enough Aedes-transmitted viral infection in the Florida Keys,” or anywhere in the continental United States to do that kind of study, he says. To run such an experiment, the company would have to invest in a controlled trial elsewhere, and run the study like a clinical trial, which would be enormously expensive.

Disease outbreaks can occur even when A. aegypti populations are low, so reducing the mosquito population won’t necessarily translate into disease suppression anyway, Scott adds. “It’s just not that simple.”

Suppressing A. aegypti also won ’t reduce the need for pesticides. Aedes aegypti makes up only about 4% of the mosquito population in the Keys. The black salt marsh mosquito (Aedes taeniorhynchus) — more of a nuisance than a disease vector — probably represents about 80% of the mosquito population on the islands.


Florida abuzz over mosquito plan

Still, the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD), the local abatement group, supports Oxitec’s trials. “We’ve dealt with multiple disease outbreaks, so we’ve got to do everything we can to protect our people down here and the economy,” says Andrea Leal, executive director of the FKMCD. That means trying new things, she says. “We’re looking at any tool that could be helpful.”

The Keys experienced an outbreak of dengue fever in 2010, with 68 locally transmitted cases, and again in 2020, with 72 locally transmitted cases, according to the FKMCD. In 2017, the group worked with MosquitoMate, a biotech firm in Lexington, Kentucky, to release A. aegypti males that were infected with the bacterium Wolbachia pipientis."

The University of Arizona has been warning about the mosquitos spreading Dengue, Yellow Fever and Chikungunya since 2011. But they had to blame it on 'climate change' instead of the invasion of infected people. These infected people get bit and then the mosquito spreads it to other humans. This thread is about the first infection in the US by a mosquito.

It will not be long before the neglected tropical diseases become common in the US because of the open border. But that is probably one of the reasons 'they' want the open border.
