evidence: A post on Twitter retweeted over 20,000 times says: "It must be a coincidence that from 2003-2023 there wasn’t one case of Malaria spread by mosquitos…and along comes a company funded by Bill Gates…to solve a problem that didn’t exist…and suddenly in the exact places where he releases mosquitos…there’s an outbreak of Malaria?" [...] The company has released a genetically modified mosquito species that mates with local pests in order to create offspring that won’t survive until adulthood, to reduce the pest population. The species released isn’t the one that transmits malaria, and in the US, the company’s mosquitoes have so far only been released in Florida. [...] The tweet claims a company "funded by Bill Gates" released mosquitoes "to solve a problem that didn’t exist", and that these are the "exact places" where "there’s an outbreak of malaria".
