According to the linked article, no gene editing is happening inside any living human being.
The research is focused on three main areas:
1) Developing a rapid test so that samples submitted to a lab can be quickly screened for possible COVID-19 infection
2) In lab experiments using human cells in a culture to better understand how SARS-CoV-2 infects human cells.
3) Research for future projects looking at various possible methods for destroying the virus. In theory, this could include something like a modified virus that selectively attacks and destroys already-infected cells, cutting short viral replication. It could mean other things too, but there’s nothing specific at this point. It’s purely basic research.
None of this has anything to do with editing a living human being’s DNA. There would be no purpose for that, nothing to gain, everything to lose. You can’t edit DNA in such a way to mind control people or make them sprout wings. That’s not how it works.
Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.
