I've seen this show up a couple times recently and I'm hesitant to think it's as bad as advertised. The linked video basically states mirror bacteria has no weaknesses while laser hitting all existing life's weaknesses. Reporting extremes like that is a red flag and needs some extra scrutiny. Why would it be so one sided like that? Wouldn't they exist in an equally hostile environment but also be seriously outnumbered?

For sure we have to be very careful about what we're making in labs. The warnings I've seen about this so far seem very sensationalized though. I'm not a germologist though someone correct me if I'm way off course please

Because all life has a right turn. When there is a left turn, it's linked with a disease.
