In a related study, scientists attribute liberalism to the Chlorovirus ATCV-1 virus. There is no known cure at this time. Scientists further state that more research is needed to determine if the effects of the virus can be halted or even reversed. It is believed that this may have happened already in some infected individuals who consider themselves to be independents.
