More on anthrax and bird flu incidents.
After mistakes, CDC shuts down labs.
"Frieden said that the CDC's priority after these incidents will be "improving the culture of laboratory safety.""There's an original idea. I wonder why nobody ever thought of that before. Everything will be OK now.
In 2007, the CDC shut down bioweapons lab at Texas A&M.
"The Centers for Disease Control has suspended bioweapons research at Texas A&M University, after the school failed to report four workers’ exposure to biological agents. It’s the first time the CDC has ever forced a research facility to stop work on so-called "select agents." Five labs and more than 120 lab researchers’ efforts have been halted, pending a CDC investigation."That sounds familiar. And you thought the CDC was protecting us against biological weapons.
