Should we worry that if Trump supports eradicating mosquitoes, that will cause Trump opponents to oppose it?
Yes, this does reduce the benefit of getting Trump to support mosquito eradication.
More to the point, PZ Myers has already come out against it on ecological grounds (though that was probably some years ago.) This would solidify him in that position if he hasn't already changed his mind. Now, if it's Trump vs scientists, what will happen?
We perhaps shouldn't give much weight to PZ Myers' viewpoint. See this Slatestarcodex article.
How is that a response? Is it what you plan to tell the media?
No, as I doubt the media would give the same amount of weight to Scott A. as readers here do. I doubt the media would ever ask me to respond to PZ Myer's opinion on this.
Make it obvious that we are targeting male mosquitoes, then the idea will also be acceptable for the other side.
And specifically cis het male mosquitos!
