    Judging by the disclaimers heading up this article it looks like they're pursuing an aggressive media strategy to limit the damage this report will do to their share price:

    'Ed’s note (Sept 18, 2019): Oxitec, the company responsible for developing the GM mosquito strain discussed in this article, has contacted New Atlas claiming that the report cited in this article contains “false, speculative and unsubstantiated claims and statements about Oxitec’s mosquito technology.” Oxitec says it is currently working with the journal publishers, Nature Research, to remove or update the article, which now carries a disclaimer. We are discussing this issue with Oxitec and will provide a full update soon.

    Update (Sept 20, 2019): We've published an article addressing issues with the study covered in the following article that were raised by Oxitec and some industry experts. That article can be found here.' - https://newatlas.com/science/genetic-engineering-mosquito-experiment-goes-wrong/
