How do you propose to stop Chinese scientists from playing around with this idea? That would be about as “easy” as banning GMOs.
This is the list of authors of the study:
Quan Zhang, Miao Wang, Chunle Han, Zhijun Wen, Xiaozhu Meng, Dongli Qi, Na Wang, Huanqing Du, Jianhong Wang, Lu Lu, Xiaohu Ge
At this point they haven’t proven that their “oral delivery” idea works.
They never even attempted oral delivery, they bypassed the stomach acids by injecting their test material into the duodenum.
Success with that doesn’t appear to be all that different from injecting mRNA vaccines into your arm. In both cases the mRNA molecule is protected from destruction by encasing it in some kind of lipid. Success with their duodenal injection doesn’t appear to be a breakthrough. Let’s see them smuggle it through stomach acids. If that was easy they would have tried doing it instead of just talking like they had done it.
But if they do succeed then you better plan on eating locally grown food because anything that’s processed will be suspect.
I full realize that there is no practical way of stopping them.
We can only do what we can and that means what you suggested.
This is another reason that I believe we are close to the end times. Mankind is too close to destroying itself and I do not believe God is going to let that happen.
