Bill Gates gets money from USAID to help him achieve his plan to destroy most of humanity

USAID and Bill Gates collaborated on many official programs, including viruses, that are now being found to be endangering the lives of innocent ordinary people. The biggest threat is vaccines. Bill Gates has all the wealth in the world, but he's obsessed with vaccines and mosquitoes while believing the planet is overpopulated. The world’s largest mosquito factory is in Medellin, Colombia and its funded by Bill Gates.They breed 30 million mosquitos per week that are genetically modified and intentionally released in 11 different countries. How much money does poor Bill Gates get from USAID to help him achieve his plan to destroy most of humanity? Aren't you angry that USAID and NGOs have been misappropriating taxpayer money without accountability? Why did Trump ask Elon to expose fraud, inefficiency and corruption?

Mosquito Monitoring

As the global temperatures rise, wildfires and extreme weather are not our only concerns. It’s predicted, for example, that mosquitoes and the diseases they carry will expand their geographical range to more temperate zones and higher altitudes. Not all species of mosquito carry human pathogens, but it would be helpful to know the whereabouts of the ones that do. Such surveillance on a global scale is a seemingly Herculean task, but it’s precisely the aim of the Global Mosquito Observation Dashboard. The good news is anyone with a smartphone can help. The initiative is citizen-scientist oriented, the idea being that people take photos of adult or larval mosquitoes (examples of the latter shown above) and submit them via mosquito-tracking apps associated with the scheme. Researchers can then identify the species and their locations (from the photos’ geotags) and get a heads-up as to where life-saving mosquito-control efforts should be focused.
