I basically agree. The following is speculation/playing with an idea, not something I think is likely true.
Imagine it’s the future. It becomes clear that a lab could easily create mirror bacteria if they wanted to, or even deliberately create mirror pathogens. It may even get to the point where countries explicitly threaten to do this.
At that point, it might be a good idea to develop mirror life for the purposes of developing countermeasures.
I’m not that familiar with how modern vaccines and drugs are made. Can a vaccine be made without involving a living cell? What about an antibiotic?
