Yes and those people are for sure Ill. It's not known yet whether these virsuses are even transmissible. The proof is in the pudding, If further data shows this to be a bigger deal, then you can bet more money will be shifted to it from other areas.
For now it falls under the realm of interesting, and important to continue working on. However it's not yet to the stage of, for sure causing disease, for sure leading to miscarriages etc. Asking whether it could is still just asking.
You have a point! You would think that eg the condom industry would jump on this when it would be something big, meaning they would lead and/or finance research when the certainty would be sufficient enough of transmissible deceases harmful for others.
