      Are you suggesting that a doctor who forged ethics documentation and performed experimental gene editing on humans would overstate the impact of his work? Pffft.

    At most he achieved that these kids don’t get infected if exposed. That is very far away from a cure. The gene he chose to edit is also not necessarily the best for the purpose, although I don’t recall the reasons anymore.

    Lame, he should have gave them superpowers or 4 arms or something cool like that. Why do mad scientist shit if you’re not going to go nuts with it?
