Well, section 31 did save the whole alpha quadrant from the Dominion....
If you believe there was no possible way to do that without an unaccountable space CIA, believe what you will.
If you're not also posting real-life extermination apologia in public zone chats in online games on the side, good enough for me.
Nah genocide isn't my jam... But yes, I believe the Dominion war wouldn't have ended without the virus. The Dominion would have just kept sending ships and Jem'Hadar from the Gamma quadrant.
Edit: btw I dislike the way DIS "unshrouded" section 31. It was much cooler in DS9 where we were left to wonder whether it actually existed or not, or it was just Sloane being godlike in his manipulation skills.
Every captain gets a little genocide, as a treat.
