No Nukes is... Good Nukes?

You could theoretically use something like Cas-9 to insert genes that increase pathogenicity, or cause toxicity in normally non harmful bacteria, or to make retroviruses more lethal to humans. But I wouldn't even know where to start when it came to something like designing a disease specifically for one ethnic group. I highly doubt that relying on random mutations, and then assaying them with that groups cells is going to be a practical way of getting that sort of effect. It's unlikely to evolve in nature either; it's counter to viral survival strategy to A) Be only able to infect a niche of a niche, and B) Be unable to mutate to jump from that niche of a niche, into a wider population. Eg, go from 'Han Chinese -> Wider Asian populations -> Humans.

We would probably have to create some sort of novel bioinformatic tool before we would even begin to work on the techniques, to begin to target ethnic groups. Which of course, would mean more money added. I think the below is a better option

Boom!

EDIT: Or just use shitloads of anthrax. You can make it more lethal by culturing it with silicon; but most of the work has already been done by nature itself.
Some seem to think Covid is such a thing but it isn't specific enough

Doubt it. A coronavirus seems a weird choice for a bioweapon. They're very, very, very mutagenic.

Indeed.Either it was accident,or big farma did so to made money on vaccines,and politicians agreed,becouse they got more power.
