Which is an issue of ethics which is more abstract than politics.

@Brother Huey posadism isnt even feasible not even in fantasy

Ik

People believe in all kinds of weird shit so I def believe people believe in it

As someone involved in genetics, ethical discussions of viral weapons is more interesting to me. Like should we weapons small pox.

government made biological weapons

heh metal gear solid time

foxdie

Yes, says the person who worked for the CDC and works in Microbial Genomics.

Guns are tools used by people, so the issue is one of how people should use guns more so than the gun itself, but whatever.

but government made biological weapons designed to kill

Currently, my research is more about defense.

lets dont do that

guns are tools but they're machines, they can be controlled by people who use them
viruses? eh theres a lot of more going on that could go wrong

The stuff I work with is a lot scarier than guns, so guns don't interests me too much because guns have a limited, local scope.

i mean

i like guns because they're machines

the way they work and stuff is cool

Like you can only kill who is in your area. It doesn't spread geometrically. The limit is the local people.

ah shit its pandemic time

Again, it's my field... Guns are outside my field. How virulent pathogens are is in my field, so politics regarding genetic research is more relevant to me.

And I'm likelier to get sick than be shot.

So, what do I think of gun? Don't care so long as I'm not being shot at.

time for black death 2 electric boogaloo

well thats not a virus but still

Your chances of dyinf from a pathogen are WAAAAAAAAY higher than being shot.

The flu can randomly be lethal and people get it all the time.

i got a cold a week ago does that count

Yes, because viruses can cause subtle damage to tissues of organs. Like a cold could turn into heart failure.

i just drank a lot of water and ate very simple food
and sneezed alot but dont worry i covered up

Humans have historically been killed by disease at higher levels than by guns are swords.

Cold and flu viruses can turn serious and lethal real quick

ah shit https://dialogochino.net/28472-china-looks-to-latin-america-as-swine-flu-hits/

You know bacteria and viruses can do what is called horizontal gene transference, right. That is fancy speak to say they can swap parts among themselves and change virulence.

Staph bacteria and e coli love to do this.

remember kids always cook pork all the way

How do you get a staph infection?

The bacteria is on your skin.

Basically, yea, a nasty staph infection can take you out.

and thats why basic hygiene is important

That makes no sense, but whatever.
