The video: https://youtu.be/J3FcbFqSoQY https://youtu.be/J3FcbFqSoQY - and it did wear off after several months, he discusses it in follow up videos. Speaking for myself, taking a lactose CRISPR treatment twice a year sounds pretty nice compared to avoiding dairy and/or taking lactase with many meals.

(EDIT: Screenshot seems to be enlarged clip from the PDF at https://www.nature.com/articles/nm1098_1131.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/nm1098_1131.pdf)
