Snippet: Since natural influenza pandemics have occurred on average every 30 years over the last century, the probability that the next pandemic will emerge in nature is orders of magnitude larger than emergence from a laboratory. Given the recently summarized immediate and short-term benefits of research on influenza viruses that are transmitted via respiratory droplets or aerosols between ferrets (5, 6) and the longer-term aims to fully understand and p.....
Document: Since natural influenza pandemics have occurred on average every 30 years over the last century, the probability that the next pandemic will emerge in nature is orders of magnitude larger than emergence from a laboratory. Given the recently summarized immediate and short-term benefits of research on influenza viruses that are transmitted via respiratory droplets or aerosols between ferrets (5, 6) and the longer-term aims to fully understand and predict and prevent pandemics, combined with the extremely low risk to humans and the environment associated with properly conducted experiments, I conclude that it is sensible and acceptable to restart the research, provided that any laboratory participating in this research adopt biosafety and biosecurity conditions comparable to those that are currently in place (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) .
