"An Internet rumor propagated in a YouTube video claims that the "Zika virus is being spread by GMO mosquitos (sic)."
There's no evidence that this is true. The argument offered — where the Zika outbreak occurred matches up with where the transformed mosquitoes were released — doesn't hold up. What's more, the mosquitoes in question were specifically engineered to self-destruct before they can spread viruses.
This claim is both inaccurate and ridiculous. We rate it Pants on Fire."
