I'm not sure, but instead of vaccines. Would it be possible to increase mutations that benefit us by using a large population of mice untill a variant pops it that is more beneficial than the one in a pandemic? Eg.
- severely reduce severity
- replace previous variant
- more transmittable
I'm just wondering. Since
even Lions in the zoo in Belgium had COVID.

- yosito 5y agoSeems possible, but risky. You could end up with mutations that go the other way too. Imagine something super contagious and virulent escaping the lab by accident and killing millions of people.
