Malaria cancer therapy - things that makes this hard?

This is just my opinion about your questions:
1 - Depends on what is your way of delivery. Depends on what virus and if it is clearly detectable by your immune system. If you use human-based code, it can help. Many tweaks here and there. 'Randomish'.
2 - There are many constraints, those are defined by several things, from the host to the available code and proteins. Computing is not necessarily or even usefull most of the time here. Some labs do automatic dna building and reading for various stuff, using A.I. and whatnot, this is not that.
3 - Most ideas don't get anywhere because they simply do not work even when you changed a LOT of things and you don't have the resources to really detect why it is not working or resources to find a new gene that will help you. Another great research destruction is done by regulations. Another destroyer is copyrighted genes.
4 - I don't think he is the first one to use the 'techniques' of this delivery and attack method, no.
5 - You have to iterate once, compile it into real DNA using a lab, put it into a delivery method, deliver it into a sample, test, and than go to the next one. They are doing that and they are getting rich already with immuno therapy using genes they 'own', but it is VERY expensive and only allowed in very few countries.

This is not a crazy revolution or something like that. This is just a 'smart' guy making some plasmids. There are a LOT of people out there capable of doing this. It is not magic. But it takes 100% of someone's time and money, more money for research, and all the money required for safety and regulations of the work you are doing, plus, if you are going to profit about it, you CANNOT do as Justin does. You can't be open source, you can't use other people copyrighted stuff... And so on.

Why don't we have Molten Salt Thorium Breeder Nuclear Reactors? We know that they work. $5 billions solve the issue of energy and water access in this world. But somehow it is not developed.
The food crisis that is ongoing in the world for decades, can be solved with about $17 billions. But somehow the issue is not fixed by those with the money to do so.

Well thanks for answering at least one question...
