"optimizes for bacteria that infects animals rather than humans."

But then there is horizontal gene transfer.

The world has a lot to be scared of. Ive had an easy life, save for one or two experiences that have dwindled what truly frightens me a lot:

- Dying after my kids (unless my kids have a tremendous disability. Then my fear is reversed)

- Facing God, if He exists. If He doesn't, the nothingness of space.

Pain was on the list, but a bone marrow biopsy knocked it off. A world without modern antibiotics doesn't scare me. Much anyway.
