it's already an epidemic

look up the definition of epidemic before you use the word next time

>>7810796
Sorry mate, I guess I meant pandemic.

>>7810799
not him but wikipedia says it is a pandemic

Fuck you anon you know damn well what I meant, the "mosquitoes" have to die. Just because I spelled it wrong in the initial post doesn't give you an excuse to keep them alive.

>>7810858

Two species anon, one is a small fish used as a bait catcher in the wet farms of Asia and the other is a bird in northern Canada that utilizes them in most of it's diet.

That's it, that's all they contribute to the food chain. Before you say but muh pollination remember you can always increase the population of humming birds, humming hawk moths and bees to pollinate flowers.

>>7810916
How do we make them go extinct though?
>>
>>7810904
He's euphoric.

>>7810925

Most likely infecting the males with some vector that either makes them sterile or the eggs it fertilizes with the female sterile.
>>
>>7810943
Could this be done to humans as well?
>>
aedes mosquitoes are invasive species (genus) to the americas and are displacing the local varieties of mosquitoes

>>7810973
A sexually transmittable infertility virus would be great since it would target only those who are irresponsibly promiscuous and will likely provide bad environments for children to grow up in.
>>
>>7810989
So poor people?
>>
>>7810989
And also people likely to have a high attractiveness value, making your country a bit uglier after you've finished mkultraing.
>>
>>7811003
I don't think that matters. You'd think that after all the assortative mating humans have done since our beginning, that there'd be no ugly people by now. But there are. So who cares?
>>
>>7810999
Not all poor people are dumb but most dumb people are poor, so only the dumb poor people with bad impulse control I guess.

>>7811003
Being pretty doesn't necessarily make you have sex without a condom though, so it would only kill off attractive dumb people.
>>
>>7810989
I think we need a fatal virus that spreads from the anus of alter and choir boy bums first. Only then can we actually progress here on earth but thread is encouraging!
>>
Oh no, a disease that makes you a bit tired and the only cure is rest!
>>
>>7811007
Because it decreases your attractiveness relative to the neighbouring countries, so it would give them a selective advantage.

>You'd think that after all the assortative mating humans have done since our beginning, that there'd be no ugly people by now. But there are. So who cares?
It's relative, so there'll always be people considered ugly in the contemporary sense. But I'm sure historically they were a lot uglier, and in the future they will be a lot less ugly.

South America is mostly Catholic, so at least these mosquitos are doing something you like.

Fuck you you fucking piece of shit. This is their planet, it belongs to them and all other species, except humans. We're guests here, pay some fucking respect.
>>
>>7811054
why are we guests and not them? what a cuck
>>
>>7810782
everybody needs to relax.
this thing was engineered to create a race of super-beings who will happily perform menial labour for long hours with little pay. there'll be a self sustaining population soon breading and being imported in vast numbers by entrepreneurs for the good of the economy and all mankind.
>>
>>7811064
Because they were here before you dumb fuck
>>
>>7811018

Don't get pregnant when you have the disease then.
>>
>>7811070
So? Native americans were here first and now they're the guests. To the victor goes the spoils, faggot. Tell those bitches to stop biting if you love them so much
>>
>>7810916
They pollinate different flowers and your substitutes are not always in the same habitat as mosquitos
>>
>>7811085
>Tell those bitches to stop biting
I'm not going to tell mosquitoes to stop acting like mosquitoes
>>
>>7810817
endemic
>>
Really, the only issue so far is pregnancy complications. In a non pregnant individual the symptoms seem pretty mild and the virus runs its course.

This is still bad because thousands of babies or born every day. The best option is probably going to be similar to dengue. Control the vector.

It's important to note that it requires a specific vector (Aedes species mosquito) instead of any mosquito. Probably not gong to be a huge problem for the United States.
>>
I hope people turn into zombies so I can kill them for fun and eventually run into a group of hot babes and have sex with them all 24/7. Tell me the odds.
>>
>>7811133
As high as you getting into Harvard
>>
>>7810782
It's actually not that dangerous and with genetical engineering we can repare the DNA of the possibly disabled and retarded babys. Not a big deal
>>
>>7810782
It's already epidemic. Did you mean to say pandemic? In that case, as global temperatures rise, the range of the vector mosquitoes will likely grow towards higher latitudes, potentially making it a worldwide pandemic virus.

Fuck you and fuck mosquitos. They're nothing more than flying needles with AIDS.
If you support mosquitos, you're a traitor of the human race.

i hope pretty high, desu. with all the newborn tards, my market-value in my field of work should rise considerably.
>>
>>7811890
I agree. Got to think this as a positive sort of way as hopefully more pregnant women get diagnosed with Zika and their children are consequently born with microcephaly. Our market value should rise with the birth of retards that can't really do shit in the future.

I think every breed and type of mosquito should be eradicated into extinction, damn the consequences. Bring back DDT. Introduce some other insect will fill it's marginal role in feeding bats and tiny fish.

Humans are murder-monkies, obsessed with altering their environment to suit them, let's just accept this and get on to extincting shit that doesn't need to be alive.

They also keep the human population in check.
