We're going to be flooded with these "Gene Therapy is Great" stories over the coming years, to try to mitigate that gene therapy is a complete unknown with a proven problematic history.

Interesting. But a case study of n=1 cannot constitute unequivocal 'evidence'. Long term consequences? Adverse events? etc.. remain. Not long ago people were injecting stem cells into the brains of Parkinsons disease suffering patients....not at all useful. I am irked by the sense that this approach is akin to the grotesque pursuits of Victorian surgeons. The pitfall and simplistic analysis of a gene for every ill seems illusory. The BigPharma/BigMedicine obsession with a 'silver bullet' has been recurrently demonstrated as fallacious, though the medical jabsters, banksters and bureaucrats appear irretrievably addicted to the quick 'n easy $.

This is awesome, I have considered gene therapy for myself but it’s dangerous hence my aversion to the jab. The research that I have done over the years tells me it could help and it could also make things worse…what a gamble. Living in constant pain and exhaustion for more than 15 years is bad enough but to gamble on it getting worse? Yikes.
