paranoid of what exactly? Sure viruses are part of our evolution, but that doesn't mean that we "live with it". We are the only scientific species, a species that through tools have been able to extend our lifespan and become the dominant species.

Personally I want to use those tools and models to increase my healthspan as long as possible, that's the entire premise of this community.

If you think we, as a species haven't been trying to limit the negative affects of viruses since before we knew what viruses are, you are just ignorant.
