Literally perfect against covid because it evolves with the virus and variants Don't impact it's effectiveness. It can also be administered retroactively once someone is already infected

>no more viruses
what would happen?

virophages are real? (i'm not a biologist)

Nothing ? It won't end covid but it will put it into equilibrium and make it not as infectious

damn, anon honestly this could work, but I have no real knowledge of viopages to be sure. The problem with some viruses is that they hide in sections of the body that the immune system cannot find (ex. inside macrophages). The other problem is the viropages itself getting attacked by the immunes system. How could you make the virophage evade the humoral and complement immune systems?

Use a nano-cage to trap the virophage. Virus can pass through the cage but your immune system leaves the cage and everything inside it alone.

smart. I actually remember reading about using nano cages for delivery of other complex peptides as medication.

Good thinking! But what about the blood barrier?

The end goal should be to have several kinds of virophages as symbionts.

If the cage is big enough for the virus to get in then it's big enough for the virophage to get out. How do you keep them from falling out and leaving the cages empty?

If virophages grow too powerful I could foresee a situation where the viruses which are mycophages are eliminated and we are then in a fungal hellscape.

Have bacteria eat fungal infections. Alternatively create a more competitive fungal symbiont.

how much money are we talking, though? it needs to be enough to take over the planet and kill everybody when they fight back.

Wikipedia suggests the only known virophages infect double-stranded DNA giant viruses.

Obviously it would evolve to things other than a virus for the sake of survival in a scarce environment.
