The claim that Bill Gates is working on a new outbreak with his mosquito project, which emerged after the coronavirus pandemic, has occupied the agenda for a long time. Despite all these allegations, Bill Gates continues to produce mosquitoes without interruption, and what does he plan to do with the mosquitoes produced in laboratories?
What is Bill Gates planning with genetically modified mosquitoes?
Bill Gates’ mosquito factory in Colombia produces 30 million genetically modified mosquitoes every week and distributes them to 11 different countries. So why are these mosquitoes being produced and distributed to various countries? Although it may seem scary at first, this mosquito factory was established with good intentions.
Genetic studies to prevent the characteristics of mosquitoes, which are the most important carriers and transmitters of many virus-related diseases, have been ongoing for many years. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has also taken an important step in this regard. Through this foundation, this facility aims to make mosquitoes less disease-transmitting.
These genetically modified mosquitoes are released into nature to interact with other mosquitoes. Bill Gates, who plans to eliminate the danger created by disease-carrying mosquitoes, also aims to limit the mosquito population.
The mosquitoes produced in the factory carry Wolbachia bacteria, which prevent them from transmitting viruses such as dengue fever, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever to humans. These genetically modified mosquitoes, which also transmit these bacteria to other species in nature, prevent the spread of diseases.
In recent times, many people worldwide have lost their lives due to these diseases. Bill Gates’ mosquito factory aims to correct this situation. So what do you think about Bill Gates and genetically modified creatures? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section.
