If they knew even the most rudimentary biology they would know that male mosquitoes are not the one that bite and they are the ones that are GMO that mate with females and create dead larva. - but yeah researching biology might and probably will get them in touch with The Fact of Evolution, so there goes that.
I blame the spiderman films.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
