While the medical treatment impacts can be marvelous the other side of the coin is very concerning (biological warfare). This technology in the hands of the CCP could make COVID look like a walk in the park. As mentioned earlier, scientific advancement has historically been used for both good and bad (see Alfred Noble). I’m pulling for the good wolf but always aware of the bad wolf’s presence.
