Agreed, although a nitpick: I think what you call "mortality rate" is called "infection mortality rate". (Totally agree with your important point that IFR < CFR.)

To me the funny thing is that he spoke about climate scientists in their ivory towers, yet dreams up genetic engineering plans that have no basis in current reality. It's even unclear he understands realities of DNA-based terrestrial life as we know it, if you look at his writings on seeding the solar system with life. In my day we called such people "bullshit artists."
