I was hoping the "Virus Weakening" was the toxic combination of instant social media and overhyped media narratives encouraging anarchy for clicks and ad revenue.

Alas.

How would you do that?

Attenuated viruses for vaccines are typically selectively bred (in a foriegn host), not engineered.

They also start with a know pathogen strain, are controlled to achieve the desired result (weakened for human hosts), and then injected. Entire process is controlled from beginning to end, none of it occurs in the wild.

The area of study is in-vitro mutagenesis.

i don’t always talk about in-vitro mutagenesis, but when I do, the f bombs really fly.
