Talk about burying the lede. Scientists in Brazil are trying to fight Dengue Fever by spreading mosquitos that have been injected with a bacteria called Wolbachia. Apparently dengue and Wolbachia cannot coexist in mosquitos, so they are neutralizing the threat of the spread of dengue by spreading Wolbachia-laden mosquitos. They injected the bacteria by hand into a gazillion mosquito eggs (and you thought your job sucked) and are now going to put these eggs out into the world.
There are also two vaccines for Dengue Fever but misinformation campaigns during COVID have created vaccine-skepticism so they’re concerned that not enough people will get the vaccine and that their hospital system, already operating at 100 - 110% capacity, will be overwhelmed.
Just listen for the moaning to stop
