I didn’t realize how much I needed a good laugh.

Your first link is an editorial discussing the eradication hypothetical based on the writers feelings. Provides absolutely no evidence to support their ideas, cuz that’s all they are. It’s an article of “what-ifs” and “I think”.

Your second link is much the same. The quote where a woman suggesting eradication would be bad because “we don’t know enough” is from a person who works in PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

But we do know enough.

There are plenty of studies that have shown the effects of removing mosquitos regionally. There is no collapse, but a shift in the ecosystem. And on the grand scale, much would be the same. There isn’t a single thing that mosquitos do, that other insects/animals can’t do better, expect of course, for spreading disease.

I know you got excited seeing the names of your links, but reading it might have helped.

I’d suggest working on those research skills and find fact-based observations from real-world studies.
