Original Note:
The mosquitos are not meant to "vaccintate" people. "...the modified mosquitoes mate with female mosquitoes and pass on a genetic change in a protein that would render any female offspring unable to survive — thus reducing the population of the insects that transmit disease." https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-bill-gates-oxitec-mosquitoes-malaria-cases-106569617546
