Everybody keeps talking about this possibly being weaponized.
The very bottom line:
You don’t need to. It is weaponized all by itself.
If you REALLY WANTED to weaponize this, then you need all three of the following BEFORE you field test it:
1. Antidote
2. Vaccine
3. Agent
You need these things because you have to ensure that when you deploy it, it isn’t going to come back and kill you too.
This is why bioweapons are such a bad idea anyway - it is SO difficult to make sure whatever you create actually stops killing people when you want it to.
Also, to deploy it, you have embarked on a policy of genocide aforethought. Ebola kills across age groups, across genders, across races, across blood types, across ethnic groups, etc.
A good bioweapon kills all Russians, for example, but leaves your spies alone. Or it kills all fundamentalists muslims, but leaves the moderate ones alone.
It’s just tough to do. This is why most warfare today is ECONOMIC.
I am glad you have answers for everything and the conviction to go with it. I am much less certain with so many little crazy egos on every corner. I understand your rational of the ebola killing across gender, race, ethnicity without bias which is why it would not be out the realm of possibility to me to create a situation where an entire continent was clamoring for a vaccine that would effectively save them but also sterilize them.

Who told you that?
