There are PLENTY of other diseases and disorders going on in the medical community that a beneficial virus would not cause any concern about profits. Consider the number of rhinoviruses known currently, approximately 350-how much money would that make if we were able to design an "anti-virus" to each one, not to mention the number of mutants that would evolve (let's not even consider the possibly hundreds/thousands of HIV variants). I'd love to have a slice of THOSE profits...give me a break on the cause of side-effects. The FDA doesn't even allow horrific side-effect drugs on the market, if bad only for a short time until a better one becomes available. Do you think there's a hidden conspiracy here among scientists (these are usually broader-minded people) to develop drugs that give you more disease so they make more profit? You've been reading too much fiction. Too much funky issues happen naturally, for humans to better that portion of experimentation with drugs.
