    A dating app.

    Track which people have contagious diseases and subtly push them toward others. Use GPS, biometric data and consumer profiles. Program bot accounts to set up dates with real people in public places, the hookups are fake, but they just need to be in the vicinity.

    Once a sustantial data pool has been filled and patterns have been established, begin intentionally infecting the swingiest people on the app with a custom virus. Create a matchmaker algorithm based on the data to see how far and wide it can spread.

    Call the app: Cuntagion.

      Good one. It’s a disease amplifier.

      You wouldn’t even have to infect anybody. Just exploit people who are already infected with whatever. Or have a high probability of being infected with whatever. I mean we’re talking about a population of millions so you could just play the probabilities.

      You could go from zero to epidemic with even rare weird diseases.

      You could run multiple diseases simultaneously.

      That is a popular narrative.

      I am of the opinion that popular narratives should be viewed with suspicion.

      Listen, fluoride and desalination is known to cause learning disabilities. The whole reason the world is leaning towards the woke left is because we indoctrinate our young with fluoridated and filtered woke water. It makes our men effeminate. Only real true white men drink unfiltered pond water, as god intended. /s just in case.

    Anti-vax rhetoric, while promoting vitamin supplements and anti-parasite drugs. You could also come out against any existing mitigation efforts (masks, quarantines) as anti- American.

      Good answer.

      The best infectious diseases have a long incubation time. So by the time symptoms show it’s already jumped to new hosts a thousand times. How might this functionality be incorporated into the basilisk?

      Maybe instead of a visual kill code, audio. That could be embedded in yr voice.

      Or if you want to stick with video, face? Could the basilisk be embedded in facial expressions?
