May 17, 2022 at 22:05 comment added Mike Serfas @jdunlop - It should be possible - a classic animal model being Rous sarcoma virus. This could be one way to avoid biopsies and injections. But transmissible cancer viruses may be against the rules at Davos, and more importantly Pedro Gabriel already mentioned this category before I got here.
May 17, 2022 at 18:30 comment added jdunlop @user CRISPR-Cas9 is a lot more involved than an mRNA vector, so "probably not". mRNA prints a protein, nothing else. But if you can successfully inject your target with something, there are definitely easier assassination routes. A drop of dimethyl mercury, say.
