letter to the inventor of weapon of mosquito destruction

Dear Jordin Kare,

No one could have missed your development of the weapon of mosquito destruction.
I read that you said that "there is no such thing as a good mosquito" and that "no one would miss mosquitos".

How sure are you of this? are you an entomologist too? A biologist even?

Of the thousands of kinds of mosquitoes, it turns out, only 44 are known to carry deadly diseases like malaria, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis and filariasis.

The rest are not only safe, they're helpful. It's a fact that ought to shut up people who wonder why the mosquito exists at all, but we always tend to focus on the bad apples.

The bug's benefit is in toughening up the immune systems of humans and other animals that get bitten, which is a small price to pay for a bit of itching and scratching.

Mosquitos are nature’s way of naturally transmitting immunity, vaccinating people to resist virus.

I believe your intentions are to do good, but you wouldn't be the first who by meaning well actually does terrible harm.

As does Mr Bill Gates, saving all those lives. But to what future? They will face a future of suffering. In 2030 there will be 8.5 billion people. What will they eat and drink?
Isn't the quality of life something to think about?
Provide people with a future!

What future will we have without our immune systems?

Already many people live in such sterile environments that they are developing all kinds of allergies.

Einstein once said that if the bees are going, mankind will have five years left. The bees ARE going.

You are not helping. STOP this nonsense. Please, dude, this is not a film!

I'm not insensitive to the problem. I have spent several years in Africa, had 4 infections of the falciparum parasite, the most dangerous type of malaria, have seen people die from it.
Ask your friend Mr. gates to invest in development of a vaccin. Your lasergun is not the answer.
It must be so hard to give it up after you've spent so much time on it, but you are on the wrong path, my friend. But it must have been great fun, developing something like this! And that joy is what it's all about, after all. Don't hold on too firmly to what you believe, be open to new insights.

With admiration for your work,

Wybe Rood
