Humanity was absolutely ready to fuck about with gene therapy. Fucking about is about is only thing we are ready to do with genetic science.
It wasn't ready to deliver a public release to the majority of the population. If the COVID-19 vaccine had any potential legitimacy at all, it was as a pre-alpha version of what could one day be a useful treatment, not a reliable medicine for the masses.
@Living Space Studios @:catnoearscrown: :pepe_christ: 💢 :jahy_rage: A... we're apparently not smart enough to realize as an actual people that we aren't smart enough for the tech, ergo we aren't ready.
Fair enough point.
I have to wonder if all the side effects of the COVID vaccine will at least give cancer researchers a leg up. I mean if we artifically cause cancer then it should be a process of reverse engineering to artificially prevent it.
it's much easier to break things than to fix them
@Living Space Studios @:catnoearscrown: :pepe_christ: 💢 :jahy_rage: A... seems unlikely imo, there are so many natural causes of cancer that we barely understand as is I don't think this new manner will help all that much.
If anything this is likely to kick off an arms race in trying to advance gene therapy tech for "super soldiers". In practical terms though, this'll be soldiers who need minimal calorie intake and don't get sick nearly as often.
Super Soldiers who don't need food would too cool and efficient for the Zionist regime. If they're going to engineer soldier's, it would be ones that need double the food and then Raytheon could make a deal with MacDonald's to supply the troops.
They'd be like the Jem'hadar but fatter and gayer.
@Living Space Studios @:catnoearscrown: :pepe_christ: 💢 :jahy_rage: A... I said minimal, not none. But cutting MRE calorie requirements in half they could save billions in cash.
And as always with Gene therapy: unforseen consequences. Chances are, they'd be extra fat even with minimal calorie intake due to the slowed/fucked metabolism.
The US military is not interested in saving cash. They actually go out of their way to spend money on stupid bullshit because they don't want congress to cut their budget (as if that would ever happen).
