Eliminating mosquitoes cannot be the final solution though. In so many natural ecosystems, mosquitoes and their larvae are an essential food source that supports wildlife. This is like using a cannon to kill an ant. They will need to find a way to eliminate the pathogen.

Mosquitoes add almost zero biomass and nothing depends on them as a food source.

We gonna wait on the unintended consequences and be surprised, or has anyone thought this through?

There actually has been some studies on this. I agree that unintended consequences are a huge concern and we don’t know what we don’t know, but it has been studied.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/09/mosquito-target-malaria/570937/ …

This claim has been made in the past and always there is early success then mosquitoes evolve and things are worse off than when efforts began. Hopefully that’s not the case this time

We have short memory. Remember, they killed the snakes in the Vietnamese rice paddies... only to be over-run by rats.

Oh sure, this wont have unintended consequences at all... It's not like mosquitoes serve a useful function in nature or anything.

And just wait until you want to build something, and after a couple years funding environmental impact reports, they come back and tell you "No" because the fricking mosquitoes on your property are endangered species.
