Think I understand what’s being said here, but does that mean that a theoretical baddie could just put these 4 PCR made DNA fragments into us separately and we ( our cells) would combine them to make a nice new virus that would then spread onwards in the traditional way?
If so, how do they get the 4 different bits into our cells. We’d notice being injected with DNA wrapped in LNP. Would inhalable ‘ exosomes’ work - but how would they make those? Or do they just make the original one in the lab this way and then release it to do its magic the traditional way?
That would be difficult. In vitro they are giving a lot of PCR fragments, say billions, to a small group of cells. You could imagine an ideal scenario of giving many copies to one cell and you get at least 1 complete unit in the cell. So that's like being able to give four of four pieces of a robot to a kid and the kid can make the robot. But if you give robot pieces to 1,000 different kids you don't get the robot, because the pieces don't come together. And this would be why using living hosts as the recomb platform for PCR cDNA fragment of a virus would probably not result in any virus imo.

Does that mean SARS-Cov3~-Cov10 may also come out?
