No, but we should try to eradicate the diseases that come from them. Exception for invasive mosquito species, we can get rid of them.
Eradicating the diseases without eradicating the mosquitos is close to impossible, the vast majority of the diseases carried by mosquitoes require mosquitoes to complete their life cycle, such as malaria.
Secondly, diseases such as Yellow Fever rank among diseases such as HIV, and Chickenpox for being incurable and extraordinarily difficult to research treatments for, due to their structure and nature of attack.
Why start taking down a Jenga tower from the top? Wasting time and resources, when you could take it out from the bottom in one fell swoop.
Aren't scientists testing alterations to mosquito populations to see if this is possible?
This is more or less the same research, and they are doing both simultaneously. They're just seeing which option is more viable, safe, and successful.

Nej, men vi bør forsøge at udrydde de sygdomme, der kommer fra dem. Undtagelse for invasive myggearter, dem kan vi slippe af med.Denne tekst blev oversat ved hjælp af DeepL.
