Bill Gates-Backed Researchers at Leiden University Use 'Flying Vaccinators' to Deliver Bioengineered Malaria-Causing Parasite
Dec 31, 2024, 06:00 PM
Researchers at Leiden University Medical Center, backed by the Bill Gates Foundation, have developed a new method for delivering malaria vaccines using genetically modified mosquitoes, referred to as 'flying vaccinators.' This innovative technique involves the mosquitoes injecting a bioengineered malaria-causing parasite into human test subjects. The study has raised significant safety and ethical concerns regarding the use of genetically modified organisms in vaccine delivery. The project has garnered attention due to its implications for public health and the potential risks associated with introducing genetically altered species into the environment.
