This is exactly how the Zombie Apocalypse starts.
Swell
Read the book. Andromeda Strain.
We’ve had vaccine viruses for about 100 years!
And we have decades-old virus-based entities that we use to manufacture biotech proteins that are the basis of various drugs.
I don’t have access to get beyond the paywall, but it sounds as if this is nothing new.
Except in Colorado where out idiots in government want to turn wild wolves loose on rural Coloradens.
Behind a paywall.
I assume it’s talking about gene therapy.
Here’s a video of the first gene therapy patient who had the “bundle boy” disease.

My immediate thoughts were:
Pelousy and Schumer
Predators, yes
Domesticated, hardly
An equally true statement.
Overly optimistic viewpoint. Back in 1969, IIRC, the head of the AMA stated that we had overcome bacterial infections and they were a thing of the past. Hindsight suggest he was spectacularly wrong.
There are at least 200,000 different virii in seawater alone. The total amount is estimated as 1 nonillion. (1 followed by 30 zeros)...there are approximately 50 million bacteriophages(viruses that attack bacteria) per 5ml of seawater.
Sometimes when a virus genome is altered it has new body tissues it can attack. For instance, an unaltered virus might attack respiratory tissue, but a slight variation might let it attack other tissues. Not good.
There will be tremendous discoveries that are helpful. We will not know the effect of altered viruses on the whole biome beforehand. Beneficence is sometimes overcome by greed. Rosy colored future predictions are ignorant.
Best cases in point: opioids relieve heavy duty pain, but kill millions. Ethanol brings social lubrication and a mild euphoria, but kills millions.
the free state of florida led by governor ron desantis proved the kung flu was a scam...

Seriously? What could possibly go wrong? I’ll have some of what he’s smoking, please.
Cavemen domesticated dinosaurs. It’s a fact in New Mexico tracks

What could possibly go wrong?
I only clicked on this thread because I thought it was going to be about bobcats. This sucks.
