Pretty soon you can probably just teach a random mfer how to make this happen

It would be great if the research foundations involved would publicize the DNA code and breeding protocols that they use to make these mosquitoes. I’m sure that Burkina Faso would be happy to use them if they were the ones breeding the mosquitoes and couldn’t have their supply cut off for political reasons later.
