if this biological modification is real, and actually works as described, while making the pig appear less sick, i wonder how does the pig magically feel and appear less sick? this must be something to do with eliminating the pig's natural immune reaction to the toxin that is in its environment - which means the toxin will remain in the pig without making it look sick, and then the people eat the pig along with the said toxin.

No, the edit makes it immune to a virus not a "toxin," which means the virus cannot replicate in the pigs now.
It's kind of like how if you got chickenpox when you were a kid and get exposed now, you don't get sick and spread it as an adult.

are u aware of the etymology of the word "virus?" https://www.etymonline.com/word/virus
also, a "viral structure" as it is taught in state-sponsored textbooks has never been isolated, which the scientism community admits, when questioned enough.
