Mosquitoes have killed more humans than every disease ever (edit: when you obviously exclude malaria) along with every war ever, combined.

Fuck those little shits. Let them all die, it will literally change nothing on this planet because nothing solely survives off predation on mosquitoes or their larvae.

I understand what you're saying here, but the set of people killed by "every disease ever" includes the entire set of people killed by mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes can't have killed more people than every disease ever because mosquitoes' kill count is part of every disease ever.

Edit: when excluding malaria.
