Two lifeforms merge in once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event

While interesting, I have to point out that was a lab created situation. Not to mention where the news came from: Origin of mitochondria by intracellular enslavement of a photosynthetic purple bacterium - PMC (nih.gov) The National Center for Biotechnology Information, those same people that "did not fund" gain of function research, seem to be at it again. I worry about where this new research will lead, another global lockdown, more vaccines for people to "voluntarily-take", or some kind of 21st century Great Mortality? WHO knows, but they aren't saying a thing.
