I’m fairly confident in saying if this was a viable product, even I could have brought it to mass production by now
Im fairly confident that you've never had any experience bringing a GMO product to market.
Look at the company AquaBounty. They created a GMO salmon that can grow to full size in about half the time a normal salmon can. This would be a boon for the salmon business and reduce stress on our natural fisheries. However, it's a GMO that has been faced with a ton of red tape.
They have been around since 1991 and only finally started selling salmon in 2017. Thats 26 years of fighting red tape. And that is for distribution in countries like the US and Canada who already have existing GMO regulatory framework. Kraig Labs had to help build the framework in Vietnam to get final approvals. They finally got these approvals in August 2019, and then the pandemic hits. Bad timing to say the least.
I would be hesitant to claim how I could have done it faster than Kim has.
Total nonsense. KBLB is not a scam, and production will occur this year. Anyone who thinks the opposite of this would be incorrect in my humble opinion. Calling KBLlB a scam is ludicrous.
