@WalterKirn https://archive.ph/DeFoM https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mBio.01434-15 Are you sure that “no altered virus has gone on to cause an epidemic in humans”? (1977 H1N1) https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/polio/hcp/vaccine-derived-poliovirus-faq.html How about vaccine-derived polio, which have since became the only source of polio in most locations where the original “wild” (a misnomer since poliovirus is not found in animals, and can only infect primates https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/polio.pdf) have been eradicated? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_United_Kingdom_foot-and-mouth_outbreak https://web.archive.org/web/20210122003527/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-swinefever-vaccines-insight-idUSKBN29R00X Animals are victims of altered viruses too.
