Not really, the mosquito is just a method of transport. That would be like saying the car killed someone in a drive by shooting

Yes, I'm aware of the argument avenues. I just threw my contemplation out there.
How many people/year do viruses kill?...bacteria and other micro organisms?
What is cancer? and how many people do uncontrolled cellular activity thus kill? Is that free radical affected atoms causing death?
Ever decreasing circles on this subject

Do any other animals transmit malaria other than mosquitoes?
The mosquito doesn't choose to carry the virus, and for whatever reason it chooses to bite us, the virus is transmitted without the mosquito having a say in the matter. All very different from choosing to pick up a gun, choosing to get into a car, and choosing to go kill people in a drive-by.
No, mosquitoes are evil and deserve to be destroyed. Don't care what good they may do in the greater scheme of things, when I hear the buzz, it is getting squashed

Just 8% of people in the south eat more than four pies a month, compared to 11% in the North and Scotland, 20% in the Midlands and Wales and 33% in Northern Ireland.

Pies are the only pastry based food that rhyme with eyes. The facts are indisputable...I've checked.
People from Wigan are called pie eaters because they broke a huge miners strike and returned to work, thus having to eat humble pie.

The top undergraduate in the Cambridge mathematics degree is referred to as the senior wrangler. Some people who did not make senior wrangler when they sat the exam - James Clerk Maxwell, Bertrand Russell, John Maynard Keynes, J.J.Thomson (discover of the electron), Lord Kelvin. So you can see the level we're talking about here.
Cambridge did not admit or award degrees to women in the 19th century, but did permit them to sit exams. In 1890, Patricia Fawcett received the highest mark, but was not told what it was - merely that she had placed above the senior wrangler.

Back home in Lithuania we have a beautiful pastry called Kuciukai which also rhymes with pie.

Damn you sir........I stand corrected.
Pie and Kuciukai are most definitely and indisputably the only pastry based foods that rhyme with eye.
*anyone who dares to add any other exotic pastry based dishes that rhyme with eye, I will fight them*
