Yes, I completely agree about vector research. I find any of that kind of research incredibly scary as it's nearly impossible to predict outcomes from potential future mutations, which could be catastrophic. And one of the most fascinating things about viruses is that they mutate...a lot. So yeah, scary. Thankfully, my employer does only prophylactic (basically, an antiviral treatment) and preventive (vaccine) research. We do the same for bacteria and chemical agents (sarin gas and other nasty stuff like that), so it's always interesting! I'm involved in some of those other studies, but my principal involvement is in the virus studies. Mainly because I just love viruses, even though I'm trying to kill them. Welp. Perhaps AAA should watch out since it seems like I try to kill what I love. I'll just show myself out now.

By the way, would this be the Droid emoji: 🤖?
