(Natural News)—The World Mosquito Program, owned by Monash University and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is an experimental operation that allegedly seeks to eradicate mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever and chikungunya.
The global operation has projects in 14 countries and claims to have protected 11 million people from vector borne diseases over the past decade. These projects include the release of billions of genetically modified mosquitoes.
To start, the mosquito eggs are injected with Wolbachia bacteria. After they are released, they are counted on to mate with the indigenous population of mosquitoes and eradicate the species that spread diseases like dengue, chikungunya, Zika virus and yellow fever.
“We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacteria, Wolbachia, and then release them into communities where the bacteria Wolbachia spreads into the wild mosquito population,” said Scott O’Neill, a micro-biologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and director of the World Mosquito Program.
Mass mosquito experiments do not account for selective pressure and resistant traits in mosquitoes and pathogens
But the program did not account for the emergence of resistant traits in mosquitoes or target pathogens. There is evidence that transgenic Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transfer genes into a natural population. What pressures does that create on the mosquito population and the pathogens they carry? The influx of Wolbachia bacteria into the mosquito population can put selective pressure on the genomes of the mosquitoes and the viruses that the mosquitoes transmit, encouraging the development of new, resistant pathogenic species and strains. This biological fallout is similar to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to the selective pressure of antibiotics on specific traits of pathogens.
The genetically modified mosquitoes do not eradicate the vector-borne diseases with perfection and certainty. Mutations have been documented in genetically engineered lethality systems that were intended to control mosquito populations. In one study, researchers found that a release of mosquitoes carrying a dominant lethal gene causes a toxic over-expression that leads to resistance in certain mosquito populations. In laboratory studies, they found that the disease-carrying A. aegypti mosquitoes resisted and retained 3.5% of their populations. The scientists concurred that this is due “primarily, to inherent “leakiness” in the respective systems due to variable transgenic lethal effector expression or function, though heritable survival due to mutations in genetic components of the system [that] have yet to be reported.”
The researchers also said that there is “potential for the genetic breakdown of lethality systems by rare spontaneous mutations, or selection for inherent suppressors.”
These mutations may cause resistant vector-borne diseases that are even harder to eradicate and/or treat once they infect humans.
Gates Foundation to erect a mosquito breeding factory in Brazil and capitalize on dengue vaccine experiments
The Gates Foundation is taking their “philanthropy” back to the streets of Brazil. The Gates Foundation is committing $55 million on an experimental Dengue vaccine and are funding the development of a mosquito breeding factory that will release 5 billion genetically modified mosquitoes per year.
When the World Mosquito Program first launched in Brazil in 2011, their pilot studies showed that Wolachia does decrease the risk of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transmitting viruses. While this may help mitigate vector borne diseases in the short term, it could lead to the resurgence of more resistant diseases.
The first live mosquito experiment in Brazil occurred in September of 2014 in Rio de Janeiro. By 2017, full scale experiments were being conducted with the help of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), under the guidance of the Ministry of Health. Ten years later, the results of this experiment have been abysmal. Today, there are more than 2.8 million cases of dengue fever reported in the Americas. Of those countries, Brazil reported the second highest number of cases, with 1,104.5 cases per 100,000 people. In the first five weeks of 2024, there have been 364,855 reported cases of dengue infection, an incidence of disease four times greater than the same period in 2023.”
Bloomberg and other bought-out media outlets are claiming “global warming” is causing the uptick in dengue. They make these claims without any investigation into the environmental and genetic drivers of this vector-borne disease phenomenon in Brazil. There is no mention of the potential fallout of mosquito experiments in the country.
Not surprisingly, Brazil’s Ministry of Health approved a new dengue vaccine in 2023, and became the first country in the world to offer the experimental injection through their public health system. The Gates Foundation, which funded the mass mosquito experiments, is behind this mass vaccination effort, too, and looks to capitalize on the ongoing failures of their mass mosquito experiment.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
