I’m not going to read the article, but if someone has an article from a more scientific source, that would be interesting.
But the answer is probably nothing isn’t it? You need some kind of delivery mechanism. Even then, what do you expect some random fragment of mRNA to do? You might get some temporary effect, but RNA gets digested relatively quickly. I’m sure you can come up some random horrific scenario that is in practice very hard to get working but…
More realistic scenario is “what if biohackers start making their own COVID19-like viruses”. Perhaps someone gets the crazy idea of creating a less harmless variant and synthesizing it? (This suggestion was pretty popular on HN a while back, it’s a bad idea FYI).
Probably possible for a Biohacker to try this now, but also not very easy to pull off…
