People would say that's not possible.

I can point to a peer-reviewed publication where they're doing all the components of this.

And it's just a matter of time before someone gets wise and assembles it.

And there's going to be plenty of financial motive to do this.

So there's no stopping it.

And that's what I'm saying.

There's no stopping where this is headed.

And the reason why I say that, the Trump administration did some great work with Russia trying to negotiate a new biological treaty.

Well, I don't, so all technology is dual use, right?

It's like firearms is a classic example.

A firearm in a good person's hand is a tool to defend and protect yourself, your family against tyranny.

So I'd argue this.

I can completely agree with the upside and downside risk of this.

But what I'm saying is there's no stopping it.

And this is why what I was gonna say related to President Trump and the Trump administration negotiating a new biological treaty with the international community,

Well, one, looking at history back to the 70s, I don't think it's going to be effective.

So the existing biological weapons convention we have is outdated.

It focuses on select agents, basically, that which can be weaponized through gain-of-function technology.

They baked a loophole into it to develop countermeasures.

That's vaccine technologies and other prophylactics.
