– June 5: EPA deadline to comment on Google plan to release 64 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes in California and Florida

Comment deadline: Friday, June 5
EPA Docket No. EPA-HQ-OPP-2025-3951

Experimental use permit for Google to release 64 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes in California and Florida

The EPA opened public comments May 6 but provided no public notice in Monterey County newspapers, despite the potentially serious health and environmental impacts.

The public comment must be extended for minimum30-45 days, after notice has first been posted in area newspapers by the EPA, paid for by Google.

This experiment could:

— Create more resistant, stronger mosquitoes
— Disrupt a vital food source for bats, birds, and fish which could cause devastating effects
— Cause illness and death to wildlife which consumed these mosquitoes
— Cause severe disruption and harm to the entire ecosystem
— Cause damage to agriculture
— Cause illness or death in humans bit by these mosquitoes

The docket even fails to state the locations where these engineered insects will be released.

The state of California and the US government has conducted many experiments on nature and humans, claiming that these would have no damaging effect. Sometimes these experiments have been secret and only discovered years later.

The EPA has come under intense criticism for its suppression of information and acting against the public interest in East Palestine, the Fukushima disaster, and most recently, at the Moss Landing Battery Storage fires, where they used inappropriate sampling methods which diluted toxins, with the results that they found no significant exposure [see Moss Landing Monterey County Board of Supervisors hearing 3/17/26 under the Energy/Utilities tab]
