BACKGROUND 

On Friday, the New York Times published the article "White House to Cut Funding for Risky Biological Study," which said: "Prompted by controversy over dangerous research and recent laboratory accidents, the WhiteHouse announced Friday that it would temporarily halt all new funding for experiments that seek to study certain infectious agents by making them more dangerous." The piece quotes Richard H. Ebright, "a molecular biologist and bioweapons expert at Rutgers University, [who has] argued that the long history of accidental releases of infectious agents from research labs made such work extremely risky and unwise to perform in the first place. Dr. Ebright called Friday’s announcement 'an important, albeit overdue, step.'" 

See USA Today from Aug. 17: "Hundreds of Bioterror Lab Mishaps Cloaked in Secrecy." 

MERYL NASS, M.D. 

Nass writes at the Anthrax Vaccine blog. She has debunked government claims from early on in the Ebola crisis, including the slowness of the response in Africa and the notion that U.S. hospitals were prepared. Her most recent post is "Is This A New, More Virulent Ebola?" She also suggests "examining the possibility of converting the excess BL4 labs to treatment centers for Ebola." 

Bio: Meryl Nass is an internal medicine physician who discovered the first modern use of anthrax as a biological weapon, during the Rhodesian Civil War. She has been a critic of the government's mandatory anthrax vaccinations in soldiers, and the FBI's case against Bruce Ivins, the alleged anthrax letters perpetrator. She has provided testimony to six Congressional committees on anthrax, bioterrorism and Gulf War Syndrome.
