@TylerAlterman This is absolutely not a dumb question! There's even a review article on it! https://t.co/FqmNF44aSi.
@davidnorman12 @drclairetaylor @Saffiya_Khan1 Viruses certainly played a critical part in Eukaryote evolution. And they can be useful: adenovirus vector vaccines and the like. On the day-to-day level, viral infections generally do not confer health benefits to people. https://t.co/QfZyvisUoW
@ResistorVlad @NateB_Panic But we are incredibly early in the very difficult task of even cataloguing the vast variety of resident microbiota we have living in us, let alone figuring out what it means for human health. https://t.co/vXcAK3Vuvs.

The hypothetical idea of eliminating all viruses is interesting, like killing Gollum before he can do more mischief, but it seems clear, viruses could play a huge role in evolution, with their ability to change DNA, so we'd not even exist without them. https://t.co/MYhqDk1jYG

@spindlypete https://t.co/dkWnsBqAzm That said, I agree that it's pretty ridiculous that pieces of DNA and RNA are programmed to hijack our cells for the purpose of reproduction (when those pieces aren't even alive).
