      They’re phages, they being designed to infect bacteria. They tested them on e.coli. Hopefully could be used on antibiotic resistant bacteria. It’s in the linked article.

        You think they’re only doing this and not working on a new way to design super viruses to eradicate their enemies? Are you aware of all the terrible shit American three letter agencies have been doing behind the scenes for the last century?

        Fucking give me a break.

    This is incredibly cool science that I desperately wish was being discovered and advanced after the downfall of capitalism and imperialism.

    As it is, it’s gonna result in really useful and novel cures for rich westerners and possibly targeted plagues for the rest of us.
