Re: Man Made H5N1 - Super Version
Research to Resume on Modified, Deadlier Bird Flu
By DENISE GRADY
Published: January 23, 2013
During a telephone news conference on Wednesday, Ron Fouchier... said the scientists were lifting the moratorium without waiting for guidelines from the United States.
?How long do you want us to wait?? Dr. Fouchier asked. ?If this was the Netherlands, would the U.S. wait? Should all countries really wait for the U.S., and why??
...
He said other scientists could be given samples of the mutant virus for research only with the permission of Erasmus Medical Center, the National Institutes of Health and virus experts at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan.
