This is an interesting post and article. The notion of using "CRISPR gene-editing technology to genetically engineer pigs" seems along the same pathway as cross-breeding which farmers and ranchers have done over centuries, with the goal of "complimentary traits." Certainly cross pollination and outbreeding have also been done, albeit in happenstance manner over centuries.

The notion that modern technology cannot possibly contribute -- as well as demonstrably ruin -- to framing and ranching would be a conclusion some might aim for, but disease-resistant livestock and plants have been an aim long before gene-editing with technology.

What seems a bit humorous is that the "new" pig might in short order find Mother Nature chasing right behind with "new" maladies. What is certain is that this world does not stay the same, a fundamental error of the current climate madness ideology.

As long as Pfizer or Fauci are not involved, what could possibly go wrong? After all, science guys in laboratories should know more about how pigs work than farmers. Those guys are always in the muck.

Producers have had difficulty controlling the virus because it mutates quickly, rendering vaccines ineffective.

sounds a bit like the Wuhan Virus ...

The difference between bacon and eggs?
The hen is just punching a clock. The pig is committed.

It’s going to be tough to eat a talking Arnold Ziffel: “Pleeze don’t eat me bro’!” Babe

“In 2020, Revivicor won FDA approval for its GalSafe pigs, edited to be safe for people with the alpha-gal syndrome to eat.

Alpha-gal syndrome sensitizes people to allergic reactions to beef, pork and lamb, usually after a tick bite. The GMO animal was created by removing the gene for alpha-1, 3-galactosyltransferase, which “attaches alpha-galactose sugars to cell surfaces,” Medpage Today reported.”

I have a fellow geologist friend who got tick borne Agal I don’t think he knows about these special pigs. I am sure he would gladly eat bacon from one of them. He can only eat fish and fowl now. We were in up state NY doing field work when he gotit. I was wearing 100% DEET on my clothes and 40% on my skin under them. He didn’t listen to use seasoned Geos who knew the area well had Lone Star tics. Still of you can make pigs or cows with out Agal I am sure he would eat them, I sure as hell would if I ever get the same syndrome.
