The rapture would supposedly take place after a prolonged period of time, decades if not longer, marked by deep pain and countless suffering by all of humanity. During which, the majority of humanity will in fact perish in awful circumstances.

The rapture out of a clear blue sky is a pure evangelical hopium dream that expressly contradicts not only the assorted traditions and beliefs of the actual church but even the actual biblical passages they claim to base this misinterpretation from.

If someone is anticipating the rapture they are deeply ignorant of the basic fundamentals of their own religion, e.g. a typical evangelical.

I am a doctor, this is medical advice.

Please don't. You know why. You know exactly why. Lithium isn't fun. It's not supposed to be fun. It's a shitty treatment for an even worse disease. Please.

Don't pee on the electric fence.

Not quite the reference I had in mind.

A few million dollars is nothing in comparison to the effect releasing a weaponized agent would cause. There is a reason why the United States is the only country lawless enough to allow biowarfare research to continue. I maintain that you would not even need that much money if you weren't too picky about the final product. You could Tiger King your way to a meth lab grade bioweapon for 100k.

If Gregor Mendel could do it, nearly anyone with lab experience could do the same with yersinia taken from your friendly neighborhood Prairie dog. Or a state level actor could go to the ivory coast.

Monkey kidneys acquired en masse with no questions asked regarding provenance in order to culture polio vaccinations proved to be a dangerous combination. The truth has been buried.

Unfortunately, you are completely incorrect about ebola. It was a sheer miracle of fate Reston virus did not wipe America off the face of the earth in the 1990s. It is asymptomatic in humans - so far.

It would take minimal effort to either modify another virus in the ebola family to take on the airborne properties of Reston virus, or change the virulence in humans. I would not be surprised at all if that had already been done somewhere.

This is manifestly not true. Genetic engineering a bioweapon is not the only way to make it.

You can start with a known agent and use cultures or hosts to select for virulence, and you would be able to get surprisingly far. Just ask Japan.

They are trying to say that compared to most infectious agents you really have to try hard to get HIV/AIDS. It is only easily transmissible in a few edge cases like sharing needles, receptive anal intercourse.

Yeah these kids deal with email like once a month and I get 300 a day, 100 need replies you're damn right it's gonna be one word if possible

Really it should be considered a success, if your email can get a single word reply you gave all the necessary information in an intelligible format.

Oh uh yeah my grandpa uses that word in a very similar context, not sure I'd repeat it though myself

It's not great. But residency is where the villain arc begins.
