A comment on 750M genetically modified mosquitoes to be released in Florida. Parent comment
Mad geneticist injects 1000 people with a gene.
50 years later, 7500 people have to pay for the fix! The profits!
And that's ignoring the failure rate of the initial shot.
This is a worse return on investment than a maniacal scheme to infect people directly, and then 1:1 charge them for a cure.
