minus-squareChuymatt@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up34·1 year agoHere is my issue: they seem to be using ‘bio-engendered mice’ as a scare phrase. Nearly all mice in a research facility will be, everywhere. It’ve been weirder had they NOT been genetically modified.
minus-squareInverseParallax@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoI heard the mice were dosed with dihydrogen-oxide to make them more infectious!
