Prions can be self-replicating AND self-spreading.
One does not release it UNLESS one has a working/proven prophylaxis and/or antidote for it. If it gets into the food supply, all bets are off.
Any studies on replication-terminating (after some cycles) biowarfare prions? That would make more sense from warfare point of view: limited spread, then stop.
You miss my point. If it self-spreds, it spreads to those who have let it loose. Unless one assumes (hard assumption) that they are all suicidal, it doesn't make sense to release a self-replicating and self-spreading prion into the world, because you and your progeny will be equal targets. Unless you have prophylaxis/antidote that you have access to.
From Bayesian point of view the "they're going to kill us all, incl. themselves" has too many unproven assumptions, hence low probability.
Therefor a more believable scenario would one where those releasing have a "cure".
In 2019, couple of mad DoD scientists wrote an article about using prions as bioweapons.
Including using aerosolization to spread the prions.

Ahhh. Good old James Giordano. Why am I not surprised to see his name on that DoD article🤔🤨😐🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Prions as weapons … diabolical ideas.
Thanks, I hadn't seen this.
I had actually just stumbled on the article. It was published in a UK military publication.
And the date of publication - 2019 - shows how long this evil depopulation event has been in the works.
Never would have believed all this was possible, until the Covid debacle……words can’t begin to describe my sadness and anger…….
Agree.
I'm particularly disgusted with it, medicine was supposed to be kept separate, but they couldn't help themselves, for decades!
ditto

Those mad DoD scientists...are just that...mad...and diabolical, and sick, and murderous.
They are not concerned with replication-terminating prions.
Our own government wants us dead.

I'm sure those mad DoD scientists do have an antidote for themselves and their families.
