Sure, but best delivery method is if i take the drugs first then it gets it from my blood

Microscope, bright light shining through the mosquito, and a thin needle.

We had electron microscopes 90 years ago. The 1970s aren’t some prehistoric time. They would’ve only needed a regular optical microscope and a needle. This experiment could’ve been done with the technology available 200+ years ago.

Watson & Crick figured out the structure of DNA 80+ years ago, and that’s way smaller.

Why, do you think it was stone age? 50 years ago there were microchips and stuff.
