What could go wrong?
I’d appreciate it if they don’t recreate them!
maybe we don’t need to recreate those. Maybe we can just let that one go.
Why would they do that everybody can see what’s going to happen stupid thing?
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
The only proper response is an immediate “Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!”
Oh great! Just another virus or three to worry about
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.
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.
They never wore masks, those savages.
