kills 80% of mice bred to study covid infections, not people. not even the mice that have the most human-like immune systems.

it'd be a sniffle for the people who had infections and acquired immunity.

My facepalm was aimed at you, for being so blasé about a casually-made virus, creating something that could destroy humanity.

Lemme explain something... When you create something super contagious it means massive numbers of people will get it, and fast. That would totally overwhelm both the health care systems around the world plus the supplements and vitamin supplies. You don't need a high fatality rate to disrupt everything if everyone is getting it fast.

Further, we just simply do not know how deadly it would be to humans. Fucking around to find out is not a sane option. The entire covid fiasco was from doing that, so let's not do that any more, YA THINK?

It will not kill so many as one person. Take your meds.

Let's hope it doesn't escape. For all we know it already has.

frankly for all we know it's a fake story

They published a paper

"a paper on a topic was published" is not a high bar. Literally thousands of papers have been retracted by journals due to fraud, including some, recent, VERY influential in their fields.

My cousin got a niece that was having an affair with some midget from Kansas and he says it's legit.

Very true, but when a group of people from a university publish their controversial acts and the university doesn't deny it, I see absolutely no reason to presume it's a fake story.
