Also killing by auto immune induced virus was only a suggestion, aids spread doubt during 20 years after it’s discover. Though aids being well know, there won’t be as much doubt if something new uses it. | |

o create a virus that goes for infection, then at a certain time mass mutates to a much more lethal version of itself isn't within the realms of what we can control. Not needed, simply take vih which already do it (my ideal weapon might simply consist of giving vih more contagious vectors). Virus's also tend to specialize yes to some extents, however malaria is a good example which kills a lot of humans years while being able to live in mosquitoes. Maybe my vih like weapon might start to exist one day naturally due to the huge increase of monkey poaching in Africa due to our economy.
