China already has a massive database database of human DNA. How far away is an ACTUAL race war?
‘course China would be killing off almost all their best customers with ‘Agent Roundeye’
But there are many roads to world domination. Xi couldn’t do it with money.
But Xi can isolate the country to ensure privacy while his world-trained scientists have another go at it with genetics.
I sure hope the AI & chip embargoes hold.

Civilization, if it survives, will look back in 50 years and view this as the end of humanity. Where does it end? It’s only a matter of time that CRISPR is put into a weaponized mosquito virus… If you understand biology, you understand the reality of this.

2.2 million dollars for the treatment.

A lifetime of treatment for sickle cell anemia is estimated at 1.4 – 1.8 million. I bet costs will half every few years for this treatment just like all other new technologies as they scale. In 5 years, bet it will be significantly cheaper than a lifetime of treatment and thus insurance will actually save money to cover the treatment.

Not to mention all the pain of the chemotherapy as a prerequisite and the months of being in a hospital bed.

Actually lifetime cost is between $4-6MM (as per CEO of Vertex) and that’s not even counting the humanistic cost of carrying this deadly disease.

Charging 2.2 million dollars to cure a disease that will save lives is a travesty. These pharma companies don’t care about saving lives, they care about filling their pockets from the sick. In my opinion, after the banks, they are public enemy number 2.

Approved in UK, USA and Bahrain. Pending approval in Saudi Arabia. Vertex has global presence so I am sure this is going to be rolled out in all regions in the next 2 years.
