The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the use of a common bacterium to kill wild mosquitoes that transmit viruses such as dengue, yellow fever and Zika.

Anything these stupid assholes do to try and fix something they end up making it worse. Idiot society takes their trust in these morons and only years later does it come out they've done more damage than good.

Just like the dumbasses who brought in mongoose in Hawaii years ago and ended up fking up everything because of it.

This is NOT GOING TO BE GOOD bank on it. Don't expect these assholes to tell you about it when they start to see it all either.

Just like vaccines, There is a price to pay for this sort of thing. Never trust the government
 
The decision — which the EPA has not formally announced — allows the company, which is based in Lexington, Kentucky, to release the bacteria-infected mosquitoes in 20 US states and Washington DC.

It may never happen, I am sure they will do a test run in a controlled environment...We hope..
 
Send the bacteria into ISIS territory. Maybe it will cure Mad Muslim Disease.

And by 'stupid assholes' you mean a private business- what do you have against capitalism and business?

Did you even read the article?

Speaking of Hawaii- this technology could actually eliminate mosquitoes in Hawaii- which were introduced accidentally from Western ships to the islands a few hundred years ago. Hawaii is pretty fantastic now- Hawaii without mosquitoes would be even more fantastic.

But thanks for more of your daily doom reports.
 
New Dengue Vaccine Could Worsen Disease in Some People...

New Dengue Vaccine Could Worsen Disease in Some People
November 30, 2017 — Drugmaker Sanofi says that its dengue vaccine, the world's first, should only be given to people who have previously been sickened by the virus, according to new long-term data.
In a statement, Sanofi said it had recently examined six years of patient data. Scientists concluded that while the vaccine protects people against further infection if they've already been infected with dengue, that's not the case for people who haven't previously been sickened by the disease. “For those not previously infected by dengue virus...the analysis found that in the longer term, more cases of severe disease could occur following vaccination,” Sanofi said. “These findings highlight the complex nature of dengue infection.”

People who catch dengue more than once can be at risk of a hemorrhagic version of the disease. The mosquito-spread disease is found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide. It causes a flu-like disease that can cause joint pain, nausea, vomiting and a rash. In severe cases, dengue can cause breathing problems, hemorrhaging and organ failure. The World Health Organization says that about half the world's population is at risk of dengue and estimates that about 96 million people are sickened by the viral infection every year.

Sanofi is proposing that national authorities update their prescribing information. It also said doctors should assess the likelihood of prior dengue infection in people before choosing whether they should get the vaccine. “For individuals who have not been previously infected by dengue virus, vaccination should not be recommended,” Sanofi said. The vaccine is currently recommended in most dengue-endemic countries for people over age nine. The company expects to take a 100 million euro ($118 million) loss based on the news. There is no specific treatment for dengue and there are no other licensed vaccines on the market.
