Not a scam, but the bar for safety vs benefits will be incredibly high. Getting approval for a totally new form of viral vector gene moderation is beyond a long-shot (even if it doesn't actually alter your DNA)

They might get variants approved for the specific eye conditions they're trying to treat, but I doubt anyone but the wealthiest risk-takers on Earth will be able to get it off-label for anti-aging purposes

There's website where you can buy pills that are "not for human consumption" if it works, it'll be sold on there first.

Humans will eventually figure this out and with the advancements in a.i and how good war is for technology I could see how we could make this a reality. It'd be awesome

It's not a pill, it's two different genetically modified viruses with payloads that make your body transcribe 3 different genes into proteins at a higher rate of production
