Unless your primary concern is defensive against biowarfare rather than natural outbreaks...which is indeed a priority for military research h.
- whatshisface 5y agoThat's true, but it remains that bioweapon research is distinct from virus research.
- ashwagary 5y agoI disagree, there is plenty of overlap.
- orwin 5y agoNo, no bioweapon is a virus. You have toxin based or bacteria based bioweapons, but not any virus bioweapon yet. It's a bad idea, and an extremely difficult and costly operation to engineer a virus.
- t-3 5y agoDo you think nobody is carrying out research just because it's costly, difficult, and hasn't been demonstrated yet?
