We must return to nature. This type of thing leads to a dangerous and horrible place. Robots and AI must be curtailed as much as possible. We must preserve humanity,

Reply to What if We Didn’t Have to Test New Drugs on Animals? As organ-on-a-chip technology comes of age, the bipartisan FDA Modernization Act 2.0 would remove the requirement that new drugs must undergo animal testing before human clinical trials by Responsible-Hat5816

Whatever speeds it up. We need to fast track cures for hepatitis, aids, and herpes (all of the herpes viruses including mono, hsv, varicella zoster, and so on)

We need real cures, not half measures.

Reply to Next pandemic may come from melting glaciers, new data shows. Analysis of Arctic lake suggests viruses and bacteria locked in ice could reawaken and infect wildlife. by chemistrynerd1994

This is so sad because we are sorely unprepared for it. We can’t even cure hepatitis and aids or even herpes yet, and then we have new viruses like Covid and monkeypox that come along and are barely attended to by the half ass vaccines that act as little more than a half hearted piss on a bonfire. If there are a whole bunch more in the ice then that’s just going to show how inadequate our medicine really is.

We need to find true cures or we will suffer the consequences. We have to fund viral research and we have to do it now. Gene editing is going to become our best friend.

The best way to start is to cure herpes because billions of people have it, billions of people hate it, and it’s an old virus that is tricky so it will definitely make it so all cylinders must be firing. The lessons we would learn from that will tell us so much about viral infection it’s basically like a cheat code to filling the viral encyclopedia.
