- Caused only 332 human deaths
- This is because it only spreads through close contact with infected birds
- Much higher is pandemic comes to be
- This will occur if it becomes airborne
- Hundreds of thousands of birds killed
- Even more killed to stop the spread
- Bioweapon
- U.S. agency believes some of the research could be used to create bioweapon
- The Agency is NSABB National Security Advisory Board for Biotechnology
- Researchers who put forth information against censorship of science papers
- Don't believe a 'need to know' basis would work in the larger scientific community
