Mosquitoes Are a Choice, Essay Argues
Original: Mosquitoes Are a Choice
A new essay in Works in Progress argues that mosquito-borne disease is not an inevitable fact of nature but a policy choice, since proven tools like insecticides, drains, and genetic control have already eliminated malaria from many countries. Readers are debating whether the real barrier is funding and political will rather than science, and what that implies for malaria eradication efforts today.
Why now: The piece reframes malaria and dengue as solvable political problems, prompting debate over eradication priorities and funding.
