How many years until we have our first lab produced, ethnically targeted high mortailty virus? Which country will release it, and who will the target be? can it be prevented?

>In the late first millennium of the Diaspora of Man, the Slav Supremacists of Ukraine decided to create a superior human. Their genetic laboratories produced a line of "super soldiers" with enhanced strength, better reflexes, faster healing, and (allegedly) enhanced intelligence. These soldiers were then used to attack other nations in an attempt to gain dominion over the planet.
>[..]
>At this point, the Confederacy was in the process of defeating the Ukrainians, but the chaos and political infighting after the coup turned the war in Europe around. The Western European nations had been busy genetically modifying diseases such as anthrax, botulism, bubonic plague, meningitis, typhus, cholera, and the Ebola virus. Having integrated "kill switches" and stockpiled disease-specific vaccines, they believed themselves to be safe and employed the weaponized diseases against the Asians. Initially, they had almost exactly the desired effect, but after three T-years the pathogens started spreading and mutating among the civilian population, and eventually found their way back to Europe, largely immune to the vaccines their creators expected to protect them.
If it was a true bioweapon anon, they would literally 99% kill the hosts, so spreading back to Europe wouldn't be an issue, and it's unlikely to be presenting differently to the original in terms of vaccines unless the antivax morons start getting it.
Just go in an kill the remaining .1% that survived due to variation or solitary confinement, burn the corpses, and problem solved.
Diseases that mass murder humans tend not to last long in nature as they run out of hosts.
As long as borders stay closed and the virus it's based on has basically 0 known alternate hosts, then it would be fine.
>If it was a true bioweapon anon, they would literally 99% kill the hosts
spoiler: thats more or less what ended up happening
>Earth's Final War was the last great armed conflict fought by humans on their home planet of Earth.
>Together with the weaponized nanotechnology deployed by the powers of the western hemisphere, the diseases managed to almost completely wipe out Earth's human population. They also jumped to the colonies on Earth's moon, Luna, and the neighboring planet Mars.
>It took almost five centuries for Earth to recover from the carnage. (HH3)
>Beowulf led a number of human colonies in sending the Rescue Fleet to the Sol System. This relief effort was able to keep the survivors alive, and eventually led to the creation of the Beowulf Biosciences Code and, indirectly, the Solarian League itself.
south africa was doing this in the last days of apartheid
imagine the world where blapeepo didnt exist in the 2000s
there would still be fallout boy on the radio
>there would still be fallout boy on the radio
I think I prefer the world with black people, thanks.
Ruining mixed girls with curly hair.
Frick fallout boy I have a fetish that I would like keep alive.
Source?
His ass.
SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE
I'll be the homosexual who says ACKSHUALLY by the time something like that could be made and released, most people will probably be a mutt, including whoever is releasing it, depends on how exactly this fictional virus determines who is of what ethnicity. Could even 1% put someone on the death list?
But for fun make an African one. Release it in the US, make it 1%.
Releasing the ‘Raid Extra Strength!’ In china and watch the world population plummet.
>ethnically targeted high mortailty virus
I read this multiple times as ethically targeted
Impossible. Biologically there is no such thing as ethnicity or race.
there absolutely is
t. cannabis grower
There isn't, it'll become zoonotic and or mutate killing non-targets, the moral of this story? Children shouldn't play with dead things.
Consider how often viruses mutate and jump to new host species. Now consider that every single human has far more in common biologically with each other than they do with a bird or a bat or whatever the frick. Virological weapons are more or less indiscriminate, and thus make terrible weapons.
Never. There's not that much separating ethnicities, especially at the cellular level where a bioweapon would have to work.
maybe, perhaps, if the said "bioweapon" was nanite based and therefore literally computer programmable
You watched too much no time to die
i think youre being very optimistic.10 years ago there were scientific institutes warning that this tech was nearly here.
also, putin claimed that us funded labs in ukraine were working on this and gave it as a reason for invasion. obviously its probably bullshit but it is being talked about.
Why would US develop shit like that in a country as unreliable as Ukraine?
My point is that even *if* you manage to create a virus that targets one specific ethnicity, you have no control over it once it's out in the world.
A bioweapon can't target melanin or the length of someone's nose. For targets, you have either some kind of cell receptor or some chemical process. The former is pretty much identical across all mankind, and the latter has a lot of spillover between races while also being targeted by benign and normal things.
You create a poison that can be broken down by lactase? Lactaid stops it dead. Try to target a specific blood type? Congrats, you've killed random people. Everyone's cells have the same sorts of receptors for a given type, and skin-deep differences between man may ironically be TOO deep for you to target.
>can't have bone marrow transplants between races
>mixed race children can't get transplants from either parent
>eVeRyOnE iS tHe SaMe
moron, even a 0.01% difference in DNA is fricking massive for humans we're not fricking Cheetahs.
Look at how a virus enters a cell and try to come up with a way to make a virus that only targets individuals in a race. Go ahead.
There's no "Black person" receptor that only black people have.
Yes we are, the Toba Event killed off all but a couple thousand humans in total, we're inbred as FUUUUUUCK.
that's not what he's saying anon, he's saying that the differences between human ethnicities are too deeply rooted in body chemistry and DNA to effectively and accurately target with an engineered disease.
Wasn't this the plot to Syphon Filter?
Plot of Syphon Filter, a even more targeted and specific take of it being a plot point in Metal Gear Solid 1 and 4, and the backstory of the BLACKLIGHT virus in Prototype, which evolved from REDLIGHT.
Also showed up in some Star Wars novels as an anti-xeno bioweapon plague weapon the empire cooked up because the Empire thought it wasn't being evil enough that particular day.
Virus dont discriminate because it's logic is to effectively spread as fast as they can as a matter of survival.
They are waay smart than any nazi and their crazy dreams.
>AIDS kills Black folk and homosexuals
>Covid kills Black folk, fatties and poor people
What more do you want?
You do realize shit like FOXDIE and REDLIGHT from Metal Gear and Prototype were just fiction right?
That's not how viruses work, it's not how chemicals work, and anyone who seriously believes in it is criminally moronic.
Never.
A virus binds to a receptor, delivers its genetic payload into the cell, which then coopts the host cell to replicate copies of the virus. There is no morphological difference between ethnicities that would allow the targeting of one over another.
A Black typically having a wide nose doesn't mean their nasal cells have "wide nose" receptors. Their noses work like everybody else's, they just look different on the outside.
there is actually, but its far too slight to make anything effectively discriminate
>doesn't mean their nasal cells have "wide nose" receptors.
There are distinct variations in things like ACE2 receptors. A wild-type coronavirus was engineered using a furin cleavage site to make it far more infectious, then serial passaged through a population with similar ace2 receptors to humans, like minks or ferrets.
>how many years until
About 100 years ago and it's called leftism and it infects Whites, created by israelites. Sadly it is terminal
Ah, is this the biolab shit again? "Dey are makin virus to kill Slavs!" shit?
Ethnically targeted viruses cannot exist. Sure, you could tailor them to have more infectivity or morbidity to those of a certain phenotype within a race with very advanced molecular docking simulations and directed mutagenesis, but at best you could get an effect like how a lot of whites have the phenotype that enables them to catch HIV at lower rates. There's no way to target a specific ethnicity. The variations within races are too great and the variations between races are not big enough to prevent it spilling over.
>Lewontin's fallacy as an argument against the viability of ethnically-targeted bioweapons.
Consider too how it can be ethnically targeted by using a culture's practices, food and water sources, etc. as a selection mechanism.
Back when
was first found in NYC, they thought that maybe AIDS was caused by use of poppers/amyl nitrate.
Another image clearly describing Lewontin's fallacy.
>can it be prevented?
Yes, by being completely unrealistic. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese did some fly by night science and tried to pull this shit just to have their own population obliterated.
HIV bro.
all the needed research is there lol.
they still wont do it.
the mutation potential of viruses is far too great to risk it.
within a few generations of hosts it would probably leap to other "races"
