(…and yes, I know that “harmful to humans” often means “good for the planet.”)
that just sounds like ecofascism to me. also, all the viruses I know of never affect just humans but keep mutating and jumping between mammal species. saving the ecosphere can’t happen without also saving humans
Kinda interested to hear an ethics of science type argument for/against this human-made extinction.
Like with smallpox?
Well, smallpox was definitely harmful to humans, and it’s a virus which is different from an animal.
