There’s nothing that links the two. The second article even says it’s probably from rising temperatures

Rising temperatures are more likely a complimentary as opposed to a contradictory factor. It's entirely plausible that our of near a billion mosquitoes that were released there would be genetic variation which would allow them to reproduce. As we've learned with covid, it's very hard to predict how these things evolve.

Yeah, and covid probably came from a wet market.
