US Government lifts four-year ban to allow 'dangerous' bird flu experiments | Daily Mail Online
US government approves experiment to create a type of bird flu that could 'could kill millions of people'
Research into the viruses will soon be allowed to carry on, despite experts warning people could die if the pathogens break out of laboratories.
Scientists say they want to study the virus 'to protect human health' so they can learn more about it and be better prepared for a pandemic.
But Professor Steven Salzberg, a biomedical engineering expert at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, said he cannot fathom why the US National Institutes of Health, which has permitted the 'dangerous' research, is allowing it to happen.
Engineering the flu to be more virulent is a terrible idea... This research has the potential to cause millions of deaths.'
Professor Salzberg claimed two scientists have spent years trying to mutate the avian flu to spread between humans.
But the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US Government's medical research agency, put the research on hold in 2014 because of safety concerns.
