What would happen to the world's ecosystem if all viruses were suddenly eradicated and could never be revived?The only negative consequence I can think of off the top of my head is that some bacterial infections would become more dangerous because bacteriophages would no longer exist
isn't it possible retroviruses help with the evolution thing?
>>16789197i also wonder
>>16789197Viruses to Humans are like thorns to vines. >We evolved to spread disease to competing populations. Superiority of immunity is an evolutionary arms race between human sub-species. Don't think of the bacteria or the virus as separate than yourself, they're an integral part of our symbiotic relationships that evolved with us. We are not separate from nature, rather, we are apart of it, and our semi-self awareness doesn't make us distinct and/or separate from us.
>suddenly lose a major cause of deathThe carrying capacity of the entire world will overshoot and there would be mass die offs until it stabilized again. Bacteria would overpopulate due to no bacteriophages killing them and there'd be trophic cascade issues as well. And of course faggots would become even more degenerate
>>16789539Very interesting perspective.
>>16789197>everything would rot and be filled with filthdoesn't sound like a good trade-off for less coof
