Clarifications
Jul 20, 2018 at 22:46 comment added Victor Stafusa @real_yggdrasil No, they should not be lethal. Re-read step 1: "Create a huge variety of very different viruses that lead to human infertility but no other detectable symptoms" - the idea is just to prevent that new babies born without making people aware so the many types of viruses should fly below the radar as long as possible. Also as I say in step 3: "you designed a lot of very different viruses, not just one, so it is very unlikely that people will be immune to all of them. And they will need to be discovered, studied, analyzed and vaccinated independently each one in its own way."
Jul 20, 2018 at 22:28 comment added real_yggdrasil How difficult would it be to create such a virus? Say, some 'walking dead' kind of virus? It should be both lethal ab complex

Nov 25, 2014 at 1:52 comment added Victor Stafusa @Johnny The part of reliable identify scientist is fixed. You don't need to identify everyone, just some (the most, the better). A deadly virus with long incubation period may make people aware when it kills people with rare genetic or medical conditions too early and infected people would still be reproducing. The catch is to sterilize everyone and start the war and genocide before the scientist can make enough work to find a solution, stopping research. Even if somebody finds a solution for one of the viruses, there still a lot of them.

Nov 25, 2014 at 1:42 comment added Johnny If you can engineer a virus that silently sterilizes the entire population and reliably distribute the virus among the entire planet... wouldn't it be better to engineer a deadly virus with a long enough incubation period to infect the planet before discovery? If humanity dies within a very short time, there's not much of a chance of coming up with a defense, but even if you stop reproduction overnight, that gives scientists 30 years or more to find a solution -- there's no way to reliably identify every scientist working on a solution so you can kill them yourself.
