    Both wrong. The disease lab itself is infectious.

      Infectious with diseases you ask? NO! Infectious with laughter and positive energy.

      Wrong again. This person is a vet and has encountered a cryptid which is the source of all infectious disease, which takes the form of a Labrador.

      We used to have a pizzeria, a Mongolian grill, a bakery and a key and shoe repair shop in this town. Now - boom - everything’s a disease lab.

      I used to work at a botanical lab, but after it got infected, it turned into a disease lab too. I hope we managed to isolate it in time.

    Allowing people to work for 11 hours is an infectious disease by itself.

      I believe I read that those kinds of hours (and worse) are pervasive throughout the medical industry because the father of modern medicine used cocaine to stay alert and was wired nearly 24/7, and successive generations kept his insane schedule because it resulted in better outcomes (for everyone except the one working).

        Who is this “Father of medicine”?

        I would like to learn more

      I look forward to my 12.5 hour shift later this week… With a full week of normal working days before and after.

        Keep up the status quo my friend.

        Why not look forward to a normal working day with normal working days before and after?

    It’s concerning for so many people in a science community to be acting like bioweapon labs are a conspiracy theory. They are, in fact, very real and spread across the globe.

      It’s one of those things where everyone just assumes it’s illegal and that their government wouldn’t do illegal shit.

      Protip: governments only care if you follow their laws, cause what are you gonna do about it?

        There’s a reason the US builds their biolabs abroad. Supposedly, Obama established some in Ukraine, and that’s one of the main points that fueled initial escalations.

    You think all those flu variants make themselves? Do your own research.

    There should be an infectious ease lab, develop some ease that spreads like plague

      Always has been. When they started this kind of research they knew diseases they were weaponizing could get out and they determined it was an acceptable risk.

      The elite are determined to do the “good work” of depopulating the planet and they don’t really care about the methods.

    This made me think of the Altered Carbon books, where some people intentionally get diseases for fun.

    • Smeagol666@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’m currently re-reading the Altered Carbon books! I liked the series, some of the ideas were actually better, but I like noticing the differences too. The cartoon spin-off was hot garbage though.

        I really enjoyed the show. Wish it got more seasons. I watched it long before reading the books. Yeah, I think the hotel as “poe” in the show was better than in the books.

      I can’t recall the name but I recall a European movie (I saw it on cable television) where celebrities sell their skin to be grown in labs to be sold as meat for people to eat. The main character would go around finding sick celebrities, stealing their DNA and infecting themselves with the same illness.

    You can’t fight them without making them. It’s a key step in the process be it for gain of function research, attenuated variants or antibody research. Unless you’re researching tuberculosis these things don’t live very long so you always need to create more.
