A Modest Hypothesis
A modest hypothesis: the viral interference as a way to control a dangerous artificial or natural pathogen and to mitigate its effects. When a truly dangerous pathogen is intentionally or accidentally released to the environment, you impose an immediate lockdown to the affected city and at the same time you intentionally release a less dangerous pathogen that works reasonably well to achieve the viral interference against the deadly pathogen. For repeated application, the less dangerous pathogen for viral interference is ideal if human beings in general do not gain lifelong immunity against it. Discussion What is the best way to respond to the seriously deadly pathogen? An immediate straightforward answer would be to follow the conventional idea in which an attempt is made to gain antibody-mediated mass immunity. But is this true? What are the underlying implicit assumptions by which the above mentioned idea makes sense? There are two implicit assumptions without which the convent...
