Whether it's the human race or nature herself that decides to decimate our population with one of their inventions, the result is the same. Humans have a very tedious and horrific, yet truly amazing ability to think way too much. We quite often stick our hands, heads, and whatever else we can get into places we should remain shielded from. Either we create a immuno-suppressive virus or nature finds away to do it is not the issue. Human interaction with areas of the world not previously touched has brought viruses such as Lassa, Ebola, Rift Valley, Oropouche, Dengue, Monkey Pox, Kyasanur Forest brain virus (et cetera ad nauseum) into the light as having the potential to become extremely deadly epidemics.
Out of this I think the only thing we can control is our own mischeivous minds, but who knows, many have been slaughtered in the name of "progress", and who am I to say anything for or against human nature?
