Agreed, partially.
Honestly, you probably have millions of viruses in/on/near your body at any given time - they get a bad rap for things like "sickness" or "cancer", but it's just a type of organism, and not necessarily a bad thing.
The majority of cutting-edge gene therapy research focuses on viral delivery, for instance - we're really going to have to get used to viruses used in this sort of fashion . . . and not make absolutely silly thread titles like "YUM YUM VIRUS FOOD"
