US Gov’t Requests Journals to Censor Publication on Bird Flu Studies
Posted on | December 24, 2011 | No Comments
The U.S. government is asking scientific journals not to publish details of studies conducted on the bird flu virus because of fears that the information could be used by bioterrorists.
A Dutch and an American research team have mutated the avian flu virus so that it can become highly transmissible among humans.
The engineered viruses have not been released; they remain locked away in high-security labs. The sole reason the researchers wanted to deliberately create a deadly superbug was to simply better understand what changes in the virus would need to happen in the real world for it to become dangerous among humans.
