we infected mice all day long
control vs test groups
viruses spread
idgaf about models
literally watched mice get sick exposed to viruses that i made
don't care about models or proofs
the problem with viruses are they're so easy to make and so easy to infect people with
take a random virus that normally lives in an animal, incubate in increasing quantities of human blood for 6 months and you've got gain of function
it's the easiest way to create a pandemic and anyone can do it
it doesn't take sequencing machines or geniuses it just takes some patience and some blood work
