I read that book. It does not end well.

It would seem to me that it should be possible to generate versions of the Covid virus that would:

A. be extremely contagious and yet
B. be clinically benign, and
C. confer immunity to the original covid virus.

If, then, this virus couldĀ be released, with appropriate "kill switch" safeguards built in, would this not solve the world's pandemic problems? Is there any reason, practically, why this approach would not be feasible?

Maybe we don't really know enough to manipulate A, B, C yet?

Or maybe it's too scary for primetime...nightmare bio-warfare apocalypse?

Has this sort of thing been done, or does it have a name?
