There are a million people killed every year by mosquito-borne diseases, mostly in poor countries with weak governance, and you are complaining about US politics?

Well, yeah. If US politics was less polarized, Verily would be releasing GMO mosquitoes into the environment, at a much bigger scale.

I am well aware of the impact of mosquito-borne diseases on human life, which is why I donate to the AMF (#1 rated charity by GiveWell) every year.
