750 MILLION GENETICALLY ENGINEERED MOSQUITOES ARE BEING RELEASED IN FLORIDA DESPITE OPPOSITION

IF YOU HAVE FINDED IN LAST PAST FEW YEARS THAT MOSQUITO BITES ARE MORE PAINFUL, MORE INFLAMMATORY, AND ITCHING REACTIONS ARE GREATER ... MAYBE THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER TO THIS ?!
And now that I’m reading and watching all this, one very important question arises for me:
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE and IVERMECTIN have proven to be very effective drugs in the fight against Covid-19 and for prevention. Hydroxychloroquine, which is antimalarials, and Ivermectin which is anti parasites drugs?!
Could this be a reason for not allowing doctors to use an effective drug in Covid-19 disease? Because people would start to wonder, how come they work on a virus?

Here in this video, Spiro Skouras, Activist Post wonders about the correctness, safety, and intent behind these genetically modified mosquitoes. Whether this is really safe for humans will only be seen in the coming years. And, given that mosquitoes have been researched and genetically modified for a decade, who can tell us that we are not already feeling these effects?

Releasing these mosquitoes has been discussed for the last 5 years. It has been considered controversial from the start. Now it’s actually going to happen.
The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD) approved plans to release the insects, who do not bite, as part of a pilot project launching next year. Precisely when and where the trial will happen in Monroe County is yet to be determined, the FKMCD said, but an experimental use permit expires in 2022.
According to the non-profit Center for Food Safety public interest and environmental advocacy organization, which opposes the move, 750 million genetically modified mosquitoes will be set free.
The insects have become resistant to pesticides used to control them in areas such as the Florida Keys. It is hoped the Friendly Aedes aegypti mosquitoes will control wild populations of the regular Aedes aegypti.
The modified mosquitoes are male and have been tweaked to produce male offspring when they mate with a female in the wild, with the female offspring dying in the larval stage.
Female mosquitoes bite for blood to mature their eggs, while males consume nectar and therefore don't spread disease.
According to FKMCD, their trait of not producing viable females is passed on to a limited number of generations in order to drive down populations.
