In 2021, it was announced that Oxitec would release approximately 150,000 mosquitoes across several locations in Florida. No mosquitoes were released in Texas. The genetically modified mosquitoes in Florida are part of a project by Oxitec that Bill Gates did not fund. https://www.geneconvenevi.org/articles/fact-check-bill-gates-genetically-modified-mosquitoes-are-responsible-for-mosquito-borne-viruses-in-florida-and-are-part-of-the-next-planned-pandemic/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-gates-release-gmo-mosquitoes/
