If my GMO knowledge is still up to par, in BT corn the Bacillus Thuringiensis behavior is placed into the plant genetics, or expressed by the genetics, via spike protein.
Yes the gene gun is an older method but it still works by way of expressing certain proteins (spike) I think. Because that goes along with your premise in the OP, that the spike IS the virus, which is why I commented. Trying to find some more info...
From your first link:
the Bt gene that produces the desired lethal protein is joined to a marker gene...
So you see the virus is innocent, it's the protein that's the problem. We've had coronavirus forever, it's called the common cold.
