    Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

  3. The only proper response is an immediate “Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!”

    They will recreate it, and it will be super deadly and contagious. But fortunately, wearing a mask and washing your hands should prevent it, and if you do get it, one simple antiviral pill will clear it up. The pill will be widely available and free. Half the world’s population will die because, well, we all saw 2020.

  5. A lot of people do not understand that the recreation can and will help the development of super efficient anti viral vaccinations. We are constantly recreating viruses to fight them. This light give us an edge to future outbreaks and save lives.
