First thing that came to mind when I read this. I can see them playing with it to see what they can do with it.
We put astwonauts in quawantine when they come back to eawf, but gehms get out. Oh, weww. So sowwy. evewybody die now. caww Fauci.
What’s scary and potentially very dangerous about this type of thing is when it’s combined with things like Quantum computing and AI.
If you can create new and previously unknown bacteria, what other things can you create thru the manipulation of the DNA of bacteria.
It’s only a matter of time before you can create things that are far more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
Is it farfetched to think you could manipulate human DNA or create a bacteria that targets the DNA of a specific group of people.
That’s why I think Covid was a trail run to see who was infected, how the bacteria spread, and how serious was the infection, etc.
