☆ How to Reduce the Risk of a Lab Accident Pandemic - The New York Times

Since then, scientists and public health experts have diligently tried to reduce the threats they pose by developing vaccines and treatments, improving ventilation and more. The researchers said they pursued this work to deepen their scientific understanding of avian influenza. We were among the many experts around the world who objected to their research. The risk of an accidental or deliberate pandemic emerging from these enhanced viruses far outweighed any potential scientific benefit. The rules lacked transparency about what research was being approved and funded, and they were insufficient to ensure safety and security.

☆ How to Prepare for the Next Pandemic - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-03-12 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
This is part of a series on preparing for future outbreaks. Sign up for The Next Pandemic newsletter. It’s been three years since the Covid-19 pandemic began, and yet many aspects of how to best respond to a novel virus remain unsettled or fiercely debated. The next currently unknown virus that could cause a pandemic — what the World Health Organization calls “Disease X” — may be different from Covid, requiring a different set of tools and a different level of response. We hope to show that experts with policy-making experience and similar goals can come to different conclusions and advise different strategies.
