They can infect and destroy bacteria by reproducing in large numbers inside them until the microbes literally explode

That is how HIV works. Pretty clever. I wonder what the aftereffects are that will only be discovered after widespread use.

Locus scientists have created a cocktail of three phages that have been modified using CRISPR, which was discovered by studying the immune systems of bacteria.

...

How savage that we don’t give bacteria a break for helping us out.

“But Hatfull worries that not enough research has been done so far to really understand bacteriophages.”

If he said this he is incredibly ignorant. Phages have been intensively studied for over 50 years. I worked in a phage lab in the 1970’s and people worked with them decades before that. We know a tremendous amount, have sequenced their genomes, modified them, determined the crystal structure of their proteins, etc. I suggest he start reading the literature.

Two words

Colloidal silver

Modern medicine KNOWS silver is by far the worlds greatest antibiotic and antiviral medicine

Because it is free they won’t admit it

It is currently in over 50,000 X ternal antibiotic items and yet Modern allopathic medicine and still claims it does not work internally and has no opinion of its efficacy on viruses

The silver ion is 100% effective against all single celled organisms

This stuff always reads like the newspaper headlines at the start of a sci fi movie.

Phages are the natural enemies of bacteria. They can infect and destroy bacteria by reproducing in large numbers inside them until the microbes literally explode.

What could possibly go wrong? /sarc
