earthquakes, hurricanes, natural disasters

I saw a research talk suggesting that we can cure certain diseases by infecting the patient with a genetically engineered... 1/

Then, the patient stops taking it, and the genetically engineered strain promptly dies. There was much screaming in my head.

I'd imagine this approach rarely ends up shooting yourself in the foot, but if you miss, you're blowing your whole damn leg off
