Hi David,

I choose that phrase based on the presumption that nobody wants others to suffer as he/she did.

An alternative way to look at it is from a typical revenge-themed movie kind of way:

Victim: Now you shall not be able to infect others as you did to me!

Mosquito: Aiiiieeeee! I’m not lethal now!

But seriously, I hope that this finding will contribute in making malaria a thing of the past.

‘this research might provide the breakthrough malaria sufferers have been hoping for.’

Hmmm, I’m not sure if Malaria sufferers would welcome the mosquitos too much, as the sufferers would still have malaria. But, the new mossies will certainly stop the disease spreading.
I knew a guy who had Malaria, and he had to take tablets, but as it’s a virus he could never be rid of it completely in his life. Every now and then he’d get a bad attack of it again that’d give him bad shakes for days on end.
But, as a non-malaria sufferer, I certainly welcome the new mossies, as they will hopefully get rid of the disease for good.
