Scientists have the capability to end Malaria and other mosquito spread diseases. Today.

A prominent scientist stated that

“To be honest with you, if there were some kind of emergency and one absolutely needed to do it, we could pretty much do it.”

Malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases kill 725,000 people a year. 200 million more are infected and often suffer permanent damage. That means that every minute of every day, someone dies, and several hundred fall ill of it. Every minute of delay in releasing this is an unnecessary death.

The scientists in charge of releasing this have to nothing to fear from delay. They're sitting comfortably away from any consequences of the immense sum of human misery that they can prevent, and they're more worried about the risks of backlash if they release it too soon.

They shouldn't be. These people are waking up every day and deciding that they'll let thousands of suffering innocents, most of them children under the age of 5, die, because they have no reason besides the kindness in their heart to care.

Well, I plan to give them a fucking reason. If these people face consequences for inaction, then maybe they'll act.
