I actually watch a youtube channel of some Australian teenagers who show their hunting in the wild there. In one specific video they are hunting rabbits to eat, but they mention that they had to travel to a friend's land as the rabbits in their area are no longer edible due to the viruses introduced by the government[1]
The comment under the video was saying that the rabbits were suffering mutations, not that virus itself was dangerous. Also a couple of teenagers out in the field aren't running a rigourous set of experiments. The rabbits may be perfectly edible still but no longer palatable
