By Jay Syrmopoulos <p><img src="https://thefreethoughtproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/gmo-mosquito-696x366.jpg" width="696" height="366"/></p> <p>Washington, D.C. — An environmental activist, Milagra de Mier, known as Mila, who had traveled from Key-West, Florida to Washington D.C. to drop off an anti-GMO mosquito petition with nearly 200,000 signatures to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was found dead in her hotel pool on Tuesday morning. Authorities arrived at the Cambria Hotel & Suites Washington, D.C. Convention Center on Tuesday morning after a witness found an unconscious woman floating face down inside the rooftop pool and called 911, according to Fox 5. According to the <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/drowning-reported-at-dc-convention-center-pool">report</a> by Fox 5 News: </p> <blockquote><em>Authorities said they were called to the Cambria Hotel & Suites Washington, D.C. Convention Center in the 890 block of O Street, NW at about 9:40 a.m.</em> <em>According to a police report, a witness found an unconscious woman floating inside the rooftop pool and called 911.</em> <em>When emergency crews responded to the scene they found the woman facedown and attempted to revive her but she was pronounced dead at the scene.</em> <em>Authorities later identified the woman as 45-year-old Milagro Demier of Key West, Florida.</em> <em>Detectives said a death investigation was underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the drowning. No other details were immediately available.</em></blockquote> <p>In addition to petitioning the EPA and FDA, de Meir was in D.C. to raise awareness surrounding a controversial plan by a UK biotech company, Oxitec, to release 50 million genetically-modified mosquitoes per week in Texas and Florida ecosystem. Mila’s <a href="https://www.change.org/p/tell-the-epa-no-to-gmo-mosquitoes">petition</a> on Change.org states: </p> <blockquote><em>Right now, a British company named Oxitec is planning to release genetically modified mosquitoes into the fragile enviroment of the Florida Keys and Texas. The company wants to use the Florida Keys and Texas as a testing ground for these mutant bugs. Even though the local community in the Florida Keys has spoken — we even passed an ordinance demanding more testing — First, Oxitec is trying to use a loophole by applying to the FDA for an “animal bug” patent. Now, the hot potato has passed to the EPA and Oxitec is at it again. This profit driven biotech company wants to release more than 50 million GMO mosquitoes per week into Florida and Texas. These GMO mosquitoes could pose major risks to fragile ecosystems like the Florida Key and Texas and may pose risks to public health and safety. </em></blockquote> <p>Additionally, de Meir’s petition points out that the experimental nature releasing genetically-modified mosquitos into a live ecosystem, noting: </p> <blockquote><em>GMO Mosquitoes are created with E-Coli bacteria, herpes-simplex virus and other ingredients. This is very premature technology with very little information, a lot of questions need to be answer[ed]. </em><em><strong>The Center for Disease Control notes that Oxitec’s trials are not set up to test for disease reduction</strong></em><em>. If the experiments goes forward, there would still be enough non-GMO mosquitoes in the environment, including in peoples’ homes and backyards, to spread disease.</em></blockquote> <p>Oxitec claims it is simply <a href="https://projects.jsonline.com/news/2017/10/5/mosquito-battle-gets-political.html">working with local mosquito control</a>, but rather than traditional spraying, they are using a genetically-modified strain of <em>Aedes aegypti</em>, officially known as OX513A, which is engineered to have two genes inserted into its DNA: one makes the insects glow, the other makes them self-destruct. The fluorescent gene verifies that the gene modification was successful and helps researchers track them in the wild. The lethal gene then kills the mosquito in two to three days, which allows enough time for a male to mate and spread the genes to its offspring, killing the larvae before they can fully develop. The problem is law of unintended consequences, as de Meir’s petition presciently warns: </p> <blockquote><em>Nearly all experiments with genetically-modified crops have eventually resulted in unintended consequences: superweeds more resistant to herbicides, mutated and resistant insects also collateral damage to ecosystems…</em> <em>Are there any studies being conducted to see if these mosquitoes will harm the native bat population? Why would we not expect GM (genetically modified) insects, especially those that bite humans, to have similar unintended negative consequences? Will the more virulent Asian tiger mosquito that also carries dengue fill the void left by reductions in A. aegypti? Will the dengue virus mutate (think antibiotic resistant MRSA) and become even more dangerous? There are more questions than answers and we need more testing to be done. Will the public be able to stop this program from happening if we don’t want it? We were told that “public opinion would be taken into account.” Dengue fever has been absent from the Florida Keys for years, which indicates the current methods of control and public education are working. What’s the rush for this radical approach? Where is the third-party, peer-reviewed research on effectiveness and safety of GM mosquitoes other than Oxitec’s own claims of success?</em></blockquote> <p>Furthermore, as GeneWatch <a href="https://www.genewatch.org/article.shtml?als[cid]=576198&als[itemid]=576847">explained</a>, one of the major concerns about Oxitec’s GM <em>Aedes aegypti </em>mosquito is that if natural populations of <em>A. aegypti</em> are reduced, a competing mosquito species can then take their place. In the Florida Keys, the biggest threat is <em>Aedes albopictus</em>, another invasive species that feasts on human blood. The key here is that the new dominant mosquito will likely be much more difficult to control with traditional pesticides than <em>A. aegypti, </em>thus forcing communities to be continuously dependent on Oxitec to produce new streams of GM animals – a rather ingenious business model. </p> <p>Mila’s website, <a href="https://neveragainkw.wordpress.com/2016/09/30/gmo-mosquitoes-cause-increase-in-competing-disease-carrying-species-oxitec-offers-2nd-gmo-mosquito-fix/">Never Again</a>, founded in the wake of the 2010 BP accident, explained that Oxitec’s applications to the Caymen court noted the company’s intent to sell a second “animal drug” to fix problems created by the initial release: <em>Oxitec’s application to the Cayman court makes it clear that the company intended all along to design and release Asian Tiger mosquitoes as well as aegypti. It refers to both species throughout, stating from the outset that the company intends to sell a second “</em><a href="https://neveragainkw.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/oxitec-avoids-human-drug-trials-makes-no-claim-of-zika-reduction/"><em>animal drug</em></a><em>” to fix the ongoing problems created by the first.</em> The final tweets by de Meir indicated she was hopeful EPA head Scott Pruitt would grant an extension for public comment. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/MiladeMier/status/983400731767201793</p> <p>Her final tweet on April 9, indicated she was eagerly awaiting a call back. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/MiladeMier/status/983420083195252737</p> <p>The tenacity of de Meir to rally people around this important and under-reported cause made her a formidable nemesis to the GMO biotech industry in Florida and beyond, and while there is no evidence at this time to suggest her activism played a part in her death, the facts surrounding her mission against genetically-modified mosquitos most certainly warrant a deeper investigation into her untimely death to ascertain if there are any connections. </p> <p>When asked whether de Meir’s death was being investigated as a homicide, D.C. Metropolitan Police refused comment, telling The Free Thought Project, “It’s still under investigation at this time, and we have no further comment until that investigation is completed.” </p> <hr> https://steemitimages.com/DQmYHPeWauHhLGMBiSXDJ96EevZdhQPEpEZ36LL7vAH42RN/image.png <p> We are the Free Thought Project — a hub for Free Thinking conversations about the promotion of liberty and the daunting task of government accountability.

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence: <blockquote>to release genetically modified mosquitoes into the fragile enviroment of the Florida Keys and Texas.</blockquote> It should be <i>environment</i> instead of <i>enviroment</i>.

This does seem very unusual and smells of foul play. There are are so many ways the government or even this U.K. Company could have conspired to have her killed but we all known even if that were true it will probably get covered up. Probably some kind of drug that makes it look like she had a heart attack or something and then they'll call it natural causes. I don't buy it though, she was likely murdered but we may never know.

yeah it seems like they are trying to say that it was natural causes, but everything points to foul play

Thank you for the whistle blow. This holds ominous implications. I pray her death is not in vain.

Stuff like this is so blatantly obvious that there is foul play. Sadly, it will be covered up and we will never know what really happened. Awfully ironic that she dies in a hotel in Washington D.C. like that - after years of "being a thorn" in the side of some big companies and even government.

"a competing mosquito species can then take their place" except not all mosquito species carry the same pathogens... so that's pretty much exactly what they want.

<div class = "text-justify"><p>This not just about who killed her. Its about the experiment which affects the ecosystem. The mosquito serves as food for some animals such as frogs and other lizard species. Although a hundred thousand people have been killed by mosquitoes, it is also because of the people who neglect their environment. People need to learn to clean their environment. But because of the fact that humanity has infiltrated the natural life of mosquito environment; we do not know how bad it will be in our tackle. We're just waiting for what may happen or events that are bad or good for our environment or health.</div>

It's a tragedy that this happened but I would like to let people know if you speak truth if you fight the righteous fight they will try to destroy your character if that isn't enough they will try to assassinate you. You have to be alert at all times when you are in public. A pool on a rooftop is a perfect place to relax fall asleep and be drugged thrown in a pool to drown to death. Autopsy reveals natural causes no foul play. YOU must always be on your toes!!! If you are smart and trained and they know it they will most likely try to kill you in traffic, make a look like a accident worst case scenario someone goes to prison for vehicular manslaughter for 5 years. I'm not trying to scare anyone just letting you know you have to take it seriously. God Bless those who speak truth and expose corruption.

"one of the major concerns about Oxitec’s GM Aedes aegypti mosquito is that if natural populations of A. aegypti are reduced, a competing mosquito species can then take their place. " This is not even remotely clear. I would say the opposite is more likely to be true. A) certainly one mosquito species feeding on a target does not prevent another from feeding. No competition for feeding B) there is no scarcity of water breeding areas in FL, so no meaningful competition for breeding C) existing mosquito predators may experience increased competition if one species is reduced, but the long term effects aren't clear. If the predation is limited, more mosquitoes act as a predation buffer, and the more there are, the more survive to breed. Since this is a central point for your argument, I would say your conclusions are incorrect or questionable. There may be other points such as intra-species gene migration which remain a concern.

@tftproject The question is why did the activism gather so much adversity that someone should die? Maybe the gene modified mosquito's were made to more deadly. Maybe they would be used to transmit diseases other than malaria. Who the f...! knows.
