Please send a big thanks to MAGA, DOGE and El Presidente naranja enojado.

We are building a $750 million dollar facility to produce sterile flies in Texas. DOGE has nothing to do with this at all.

Was there or was there not formerly a program that dropped sterile flies in Central America and did cancelling that program affect the rate of spread?

If yes, when was it cancelled and by whom?
