The author is thinking that reversing a deleted zone mutation is hard, but it could be that a simple mutation of the weak strain make it deadly, so my question is: can you guarantee that a new mutation is not going to make this strain deadly?, also the more people with the new strain of the virus, the more the bad mutation could happen.
So I suggest looking for a strain for which we have a mean of killing the virus, that is a weak virus for which we have a general vaccine for expected mutations, if that is possible.
- dpratt71 7y agoThere are no guarantees in life, but the reason we don't have global pandemics constantly is that mutations that make a virus as dangerous as SARS-Cov-2 are quite rare.
