Stupid, the mosquitoes do not spread Zika. It's a side effect from spraying to kill mosquito larva, then drinking that water. Stop spraying that chemical and Zika is gone.

This story is a little late...

Though it was rarely reported on at the time, this is exactly why the ZIKA Virus went 'Viral' a few years ago.

Oxitech engineered the mosquitoes to not be able to reproduce in the absence of tetracycline, but when they bit the cattle (which had been treated with tetracycline) they were once again fertile (Doh!)

Idiot bio-engineers not thinking about the consequences of their actions...

Here's the New York Post story that hailed Oxitec's 'breakthrough' as genius back in 2016:

BY releasing vast amounts of these GMO'd mosquitoes into the wild, Oxitech is personally responsible for spreading the Zika Virus from Brazil to the rest of the world.
