That seems to be mostly speculation. I think they overestimate evolution, but we do know it is possible to Evolve to Extinction.
But even if it doesn’t work, we should still try of course. Eventually we will figure it out. And exterminating mosquitoes could be the greatest public health program of all time, so it’s worth whatever it takes. It could still be effective at temporarily reducing the population until they evolve resistance.
