During a closed seminar organized by the CIA, American scientists warned the agency that a new type of biological weapon is set to emerge on Earth.
According to the CIA report, “the impact of artificial viruses and bacteria could be more severe than any disease known to mankind.”

According to forecasts by American scientists, such pathogens are expected to emerge within the next decade.
This new type of biological weapon may have selective effects, targeting only individuals with certain genetic codes.
Additionally, there is the potential to create “slow-acting” viruses. For instance, upon infection, a person might only exhibit cold-like symptoms, but upon taking certain medications, they could suffer fatal consequences.
Other microbial weapons may resist all types of antibiotics and trigger immune responses that lead to death.
Moreover, scientists have reported that traditional methods will be ineffective in detecting these new viruses and bacteria.
