Original Note:
The post making claims about malaria in Florida is false & misleading. The genetically modified mosquitoes released in Florida are completely different from those that transmit malaria. The Florida project uses Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which cannot carry or transmit malaria https://www.factcheck.org/2023/07/scicheck-u-s-acquired-malaria-cases-spark-false-claims-of-links-to-gates-funded-research/ https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.33MA7HB
