The Zika virus is officially killing people on American soil. Friday afternoon the CDC reported 1 death from the Zika virus and 683 cases of infection in Puerto Rico.
The morbid news briefly spiked Intrexon shares higher. The company has proposed using their genetically engineered mosquitoes to combat the festering tropical crisis.

Intrexon shares have been under pressure since April 21st when reports showed Key West residents are resisting plans to release thousands of GMO mosquitoes onto the southern island. Perhaps now, seeing these bloodthirsty creatures taking lives, Floridians will allow the company to go ahead with their biological warfare.
Bottom line: the mosquito is a disease spreading pestilence. Draconian methods have been used for 100s of years to combat the spineless bastards. Now something more sophisticated exists and everyone plays the ignorant paranoia card against it. They need to be corrected, completely and entirely-the residents and the mosquitoes.
Any disruption to the ecosystem will be adderssed when the necessity arises. For now, eliminate the Zika carrying monsters.

Come on, man!! Puerto Ricans don’t count… 😉
And still, somehow zero fear? Going into summer?
The mosquito is the deadliest creature known to man. It has killed and disabled more people than the flea (plague) or even the homicidal human race itself has.
