Why do people keep trying to weaponize things that can wipe out the human race?

It's tempting, I admit. I expect a few pretty extensive studies on their possible removal's impact before we Genophage the bastards, though. Satisfying as it may be, ACTUAL mad science has a tendency to end careers. Also islands, but mostly careers.

Because M.A.D. fucking works.

>Still, in a way a nuke is more controllable than a viral weapon, be it just killing everyone or turning them into zombies.
Usually the backstory is that they had big plans to keep it in containment but then somebody made a mistake.

>I'm sure we'll be fine with the abrupt extinction of a major pollinator species

But user, WMD r bad, m'kay. We need WMD control laws because if we don't have any WMDs, there wouldn't be any WMD crime. No modern nation has any need for WMDs, those are for the World Police.

Mosquito larvae are a main foodsource for dragonfly larvae. Dragonflies are a large part of the diet of several species of omnivorous birds, as well as plenty of other species. Omnivorous birds spread seeds from multitudes of plants. Plants give rise to everything else in the food chain.
As satisfying as it would be to watch Jurassic Park knowing full well that mosquitoes were just as extinct as dinosaurs, we can't go full exterminatus on their asses until we understand more about the environment.

Shit like bedbugs on the other hand...

By being in North America when you fire it of course.

M.A.D. has been obsolete for decades dumb fuck.

I'd ask you to explain yourself if I thought even for a second that you had anything of academic value to say.
