So they can mandate everyone into getting a vaccine to combat some shite they dug out of a cave?

I’d rather not and take my chances with herd immunity


It's a bacterial sample, not a virus. Herd immunity doesn't work the same and I think may only be theoretical with bacteria

There is no good reason to do this.


Sure there is. Study the genome and figure out a response. Not only will this help us if/when we encounter a similar strain naturally, but it may also give us an alternative to antibiotics, which we desperately need for regular bacterial infections.

Just because this specific sample was found in ice doesn't mean (1) that we won't encounter similar bacteria elsewhere, with all of our drilling, exploring, excavating, etc or (2) that similar frozen bacteria won't be released via ice melting from climate change

How much money did they spend to find a bacteria in there..... only to try and kill it.
