Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Have Successfully ‘Vaccinated’ a Human

A human was successfully ‘vaccinated’ against malaria by a container full of genetically modified mosquitoes in a trial funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The study involved around 200 hungry mozzies biting the arms of human guinea pigs.

The Human participants placed their arms directly over a small container full of the bloodsucking creatures.

“We use the mosquitoes like they’re 1,000 small flying syringes,” said researcher Dr. Sean Murphy.

Activist Post reports: Three to five “vaccinations” took place over 30-day intervals.

The mosquitoes gave minor versions of malaria that didn’t make people sick, but gave them antibodies. Efficacy from the antibodies lasted a few months.

“Half of the individuals in each vaccine group did not develop detectable P. falciparum infection, and a subset of these individuals was subjected to a second CHMI 6 months later and remained partially protected. These results support further development of genetically attenuated sporozoites as potential malaria vaccines,” researchers concluded.

Carolina Reid was one of twenty-six participants in the study.

“My whole forearm swelled and blistered. My family was laughing, asking like, ‘why are you subjecting yourself to this?’”

Reid enjoyed her experience so much that she says she wants to participate in as many vaccine trials as she can. For this research, each participant received $4,100 as an incentive.

Adverse reactions were what one would expect after getting bit by hundreds of mosquitos and nothing more.

Dr. Kirsten Lyke calls the research “a total game changer.”

Lyke led the phase 1 trials for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine and was a co-investigator for Moderna and Novavax COVID vaccines.

Researchers say the genetically modified mosquitoes will not be used at large to vaccinate millions of people. The reason why mosquitos were used instead of syringes, they claim, was to save costs.

  1. “My whole forearm swelled and blistered”

    “enjoyed her experience”

    “$4100”

    She enjoyed the money for no real work.

  2. Oh great black mirror fantasy has become reality hope it doesn’t go like the Brazil experiment where people dropped like flies and gates scrambled to cover it all up…again!

  3. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

  4. I suggest learning how to make your own bug repellant — one easy method is using a few tbsp of coconut oil (carrier) with several drops of three essential oils – lavender, rosemary, geranium and stir it up and keep in a small jar. I make this for my husband who works outdoors and while everyone else is getting ticks and bites, he’s protected (and smells good). You can also use the oils of lemongrass, mint, citrus and eucalyptus among others. You can even make a spray with witch hazel as the carrier base. God gives us what we need, not man — and there’s other benefits for you using those oils. Blessings 🙂
