Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pumped millions of dollars into his plan to use a “mosquito army” of “flying vaccinators” to mass vaccinate entire populations without individuals’ consent.
In the last two years, billionaire Gates has ramped up efforts to advance the use of mosquitos for vaccinating a hesitant public.
In November, a study by Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study concluded that mosquitos could be used as “flying vaccinators.”
However, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been funding LUMC’s research for years.
The Gates Foundation paid LUMC $1,578,317 in September 2023 and another $2,287,871 in November 2024 to conduct research on vaccinating people with mosquitos.
In LUMC’s study, 43 adults aged 19 to 35 with no prior malaria history were divided into three groups.
Each group received bites from mosquitos carrying either the GA2 parasite, the GA1 parasite, or no parasite (placebo).
The participants underwent three rounds of vaccination by mosquito, spaced 28 days apart.
Three weeks after the final round, all participants were exposed to malaria through bites from infected mosquitoes.
The results showed that eight out of nine participants in the GA2 group were successfully protected against malaria.
