> ah yes this emerging threat currently kills fewer people in a single year than an entire genocidal campaign did over the course of six.
That's not what I said. You can multiply the yearly number by 100 (antibiotics were discovered less than 100 years ago) and still not touch the number of lives lost to overly powerful states.
as a side note: thanks for the link on bacteriophages. very cool
> by the way, the phage therapy described in the comment you linked was largely developed by the soviets. lol
Definitely lol! From the link:
"While d’Herelle is said to have been initially enamored with communism, he was soon soured on it when Eliava was suddenly kidnapped, murdered, and denounced by Beria (it likely had as much to do with Beria demonstrating that even Heroes of Soviet Science were not immune to his power..."
Its no surprise that scientists still tried to save lives despite the state - not because of it.
