more dangerous than the original mouse-adapted virus he’d used as a

supervirus Senator Paul would later suggest.
In the end, the NIH clampdown never had teeth. It included a clause granting
exceptions “if head of funding agency determines research is urgently
necessary to protect public health or national security.” Not only were
Baric’s studies allowed to move forward, but so were all studies that
applied for exemptions. The funding restrictions were lifted in 2017 and
replaced with a more lenient system. |
