This time it is not nuclear terrorism, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians as they go about their daily lives; this time it is not agent orange strafing screaming girls running away from cowards in the sky; this time it is not sodomy of detainees or torture of kidnap victims: it is sheer irresponsibility in handling Bird Flu.

This time it is not the United States government at the centre of the storm but rather, the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity which in its wisdom has given the go-ahead for the publication of all details into a special study sponsored by the US Government on Bird Flu, aka H5N1, a highly pathogenic form of the Influenza virus with an average mortality rate of 60 per cent, according to the World Health Organization. The WHO itself would also appear to deserve additional scrutiny.

Scientific madness

The scientific community discovers a highly pathogenic strain of Influenza, which has fortunately not yet managed to make the species jump between birds and humans. So what does it do? Why, the US authorities sponsor a special study in which scientists enabled the strain H5N1 to become airborne in a laboratory, providing it with the last piece of equipment it needs to go pandemic and kill sixty per cent of its victims. Ditto in the Netherlands. Two separate research teams* infected ferrets with the H5N1 virus which had been mutated to become more easily transmissible: changes introduced into the viral protein haemagglutinin facilitated airborne transmission.
Remember what the WHO did with H1N1 (Swine Flu)? Correct, absolutely nothing at all, except for sitting passively and observing it as it obediently climbed all the Pandemic Alert Phases to Phase 6, the highest. They did not restrict travel, they did not stop people or animals moving across borders, they did not make any attempt to stop the spread of the virus. So imagine what would happen in a H5N1 pandemic, where a third of the world's population was infected and sixty per cent of these died?

WHO: There have been 573 cases of H5N1 bird flu in humans in 15 countries since 2003; nearly 60 percent of those cases resulted in death.

Equally useless is the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, which last December deemed the research far too sensitive to be published due to the risk of bio-terrorists getting hold of the mutant strain but now, has changed its tune and has allowed the report on the research to be placed in the public domain. Originally, the same Board asked Nature and Science magazines not to publish details of the experiments.

One reason for this is that not all the laboratory ferrets infected with the airborne version of H5N1 died, as had originally been thought. Great, so the mortality rate is not one hundred per cent but so what? Even 60 per cent is unacceptably high. Once again the position of the WHO is suspect - the same body which sat back and adopted the position of an excited voyeur during H1N1 recommended the full publication of the reports on the haemagglutinin modifications in H5N1.

Why?

At a time when the globalization of knowledge and the extreme facility of transmission of data are a reality, at a time when terrorist networks are better and better equipped with technology and financing, does it make sense a) to create a monster superbug in the first place and b) to publish the details? Both of the research studies confirmed that it is easy to provide H5N1 with the ability to mutate and become a pandemic strain, infecting the global human population.

I don't think it makes any sense at all. But then again, I do not have shares or interests in the pharmaceutical companies which manufacture the vaccines.

The above list of H5N1 isolates in Egypts demonstrates how misleading the comments on N158D in recent human cases were. N158D was in the first introductions by wild birds in late 2005 and early 2006 (teal and egret), prior to cases in poultry and humans. Thus, it is not surprising that it was in the first human cases in 2006, and has been present in the vast majority of human cases in Egypt. including recent cases. Moreover, the above sequences also have an A at position 160, so a N at position 158 would not be glycosylated.
The description of a change in all recent human cases in Egypt since the middle of 2009 would apply to S133del and other changes linked to clade 2.2.1 G, which first emerged in early 2007 and now is in all recent human cases.

Other clade 2.2 sequences, like those in the Azerbaijan cluster have 158N, but they also have 160A, so there is no glycosylation site at position 158.

LONDON — A two-day meeting here brought scientists no closer to resolving the question of whether there are any kinds of experiments whose results should be kept from the public.

Arriving at an international consensus about whether scientific journals should occasionally publish censored versions of papers because the full ones might prove useful to terrorists “is likely to take multiple years,” Bruce Alberts, the editor of Science, told an audience at the Royal Society.
The meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday was called after Science and its English rival, Nature, had each agreed late last year to hold off publishing papers on lab-engineered versions of the bird flu virus at the request of the U.S. government. The journals last week got the go-ahead to print the papers.

“My fear is that now this crisis is over, nobody will work on this” problem of whether to publish the results of similar experiments in the future, Alberts said.

The issue touches on science’s culture of openness, the funding of research, global equity, cybersecurity and the effect of regulation on human behavior.

The papers originally in question described successful efforts to enhance the transmissibility of the H5N1 avian influenza virus, a pathogen that rarely infects people but when it does kills them about half the time. One experiment was conducted by Ron Fouchier of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. The other was done by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Tokyo.

The request not to publish came from the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, a committee of scientists that advises the U.S. government about federally funded research, which both studies were. The panel changed its mind last Friday after learning more about the specifics and the relevance of the experiments.

The audience of about 200 scientists and ethicists considered numerous questions.

Are there experiments so pointless and dangerous that they should never be done? Are there experiments that might be useful but are too dangerous to be done? Is there any purpose in reporting that something has been accomplished without saying how it was done?

There was general agreement that some experiments are off limits, such as attempting to make the AIDS virus transmissible by air. There was less agreement about the experiments at hand, which changed the characteristics of H5N1 bird flu.

A common technique for learning what a gene does is to knock it out, which usually results in a less dangerous microbe. Fouchier said that strategy is inadequate for trying to discover small genetic changes that alter a flu virus’s behavior.

“Why does a car drive?,” he asked, making an analogy. “You can take out many parts and the car will not work. That doesn’t tell you much.”

He and Kawaoka, working separately, used the opposite strategy. They either engineered in or indirectly encouraged mutations that enhanced the contagiousness of H5N1 influenza.

“The only way of increasing our knowledge is by this ‘gain-of-function’ approach,” Fouchier said.

The rationale for the work is that it will give virologists and epidemiologists an idea of what worrisome mutations to look for when they analyze samples of H5N1 viruses collected from birds around the world.

But Thomas Inglesby of the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh said knowing the mutations that enhance contagiousness would have no practical use. That’s because the current response to H5N1 outbreaks in chickens is to kill all the birds — at least in the countries that have a public health response.

“What would be done differently?” he asked.

On the other hand, creating a more transmissible H5N1, even if its lethality was reduced a hundredfold, could put millions of lives at risk if the strain escaped. “As unlikely as accidents are, they do happen,” he said, citing three accidental releases of the SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, virus after suppression of an epidemic of that pathogen in 2003.

There was general agreement that the biosecurity level for the H5N1 experiments — isolated, sealed labs, with air double-filtered and the researchers in coverings (but not space suits) — was adequate. There was little enthusiasm for publishing redacted papers just to give scientists official credit they could put on their résumés. Many said they found it extremely unlikely that a terrorist group would use a fully explained bird flu paper to make a pandemic flu virus.

John Savill, head of the Medical Research Council (Britain’s non-governmental equivalent of the National Institutes of Health), said he thought it was “ludicrous” that information might be held back from people who could put it to good use just to ensure that it didn’t get into the hands of bad actors.

“My view is publish and be damned,” he said.

Post-mortem on mutant flu

Virus papers get green light but controversy highlights lack of global rules on biosafety.
Declan Butler

10 April 2012

Yoshihiro Kawaoka can now publish his flu study.

Jeff Miller/University of Wisconsin-Madison
The dust is beginning to settle on the months-long controversy over two studies in which the H5N1 avian influenza virus was modified to be transmissible between mammals. But scientists and authorities still need to address the lack of international oversight for studies in which pathogens are deliberately made more dangerous, speakers emphasized at a two-day meeting held last week at the Royal Society in London. The meeting brought together scientists, research funders and experts in security, bioethics and foreign policy, just days after the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) revised its earlier stance and recommended publication of the two studies.

In December 2011, the board recommended redaction of experimental details of the studies, on the basis of concerns about bioterrorism and the increased likelihood of accidental release of the viruses. But after considering revised versions of the manuscripts on 29–30 March, the NSABB voted unanimously in favour of full publication of the paper submitted to Nature by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and 12–6 for publication of the content (although not the specific wording) of the paper submitted to Science by Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Kawaoka presented his findings for the first time at the Royal Society meeting (see Nature http://doi.org/hsn; 2012), but Fouchier gave only a summary of his, saying that a more detailed description was prohibited by Dutch export-control laws, which require a permit to disseminate samples of, and information about, certain dangerous pathogens.

In December, the NSABB said that the information in the papers could help H5N1 surveillance efforts and so should be made available to experts on a need-to-know basis. A major factor in the board’s change of heart was that subsequent international discussions concluded that there was no practical way to selectively share the data, and that national export controls may restrict distribution anyway, says Michael Imperiale, a virologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a member of the NSABB.

This left the board with the stark choice of publishing either all or none of the research, with publication becoming “the only way for public-health authorities to know what to look for”, says Imperiale, who this time voted in favour of publishing both papers.

Some on the board were also influenced by clarifications to both papers — particularly those suggesting that Fouchier’s viruses were not as pathogenic as they had initially seemed — and by presentations from Kawaoka and Fouchier indicating that some combinations of the mutations generated in their laboratories had already been seen in the wild. But Imperiale says that his vote was unaffected by the revisions. “I don’t think the risks have changed; the authors have changed the host range and transmission properties of a deadly virus,” he says. “I don’t think the benefits have changed either.”

Another factor in the NSABB’s decision was the announcement on 29 March of a new US policy requiring that all publicly funded research on certain pathogens be assessed from the outset by the funding agency for the risk that it may be misused (see Nature http://doi.org/hsp; 2012). Experts have generally welcomed the guidelines, which they say should, if properly applied, also help to avert future repeats of the H5N1 controversy, in which the NSABB learned of the papers only shortly before their planned publication.

Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was one of several speakers at the Royal Society meeting to argue that it would be a “mistake” to think that the issues raised by the papers are now fully resolved. Besides bioterrorism, a major concern is that publishing them will result in worldwide proliferation of similar research, possibly in labs that may not have well developed biosafety cultures and training. Both Fouchier and Kawaoka worked in facilities rated at ‘biosafety level 3 enhanced’, but to expect that all such research would be done carefully everywhere is “utter malarkey”, Caplan told the meeting.

The World Health Organization has recommended that work to make H5N1 viruses more transmissible in mammals, which flu researchers voluntarily halted in January, remain suspended until the relevant authorities have assessed the safety conditions for such research (see Nature 482, 447–448; 2012). US and Dutch authorities are expected to release their verdicts within weeks, which Kawaoka said “would be the time to lift the moratorium”. But others warned that doing so before broader debate, including planned hearings by US lawmakers, would be premature and could be perceived as arrogant.

The challenge for any oversight system will be to avoid discouraging important science while ensuring that work is limited to labs with appropriate safety standards, says one scientist, who criticizes the reluctance of many flu researchers to admit that such studies carry risks. “You’d have to have your head in the sand not to accept that there are some risks here.”

Bias accusation rattles US biosecurity board

Case for full publication of controversial flu studies was unbalanced, board member says.
Brendan Maher

14 April 2012

A closed meeting, convened last month by the US Government to decide the fate of two controversial unpublished papers on the H5N1 avian influenza virus was stacked in favour of their full publication, a participant now says. Michael Osterholm, who heads the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy in Minneapolis, is a member of the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB), which was tasked with evaluating the research. In a letter to Amy Patterson, associate director for science policy at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and sent to other members of the NSABB, Osterholm argues that the meeting agenda and presenters were “designed to produce the outcome that occurred“. The letter was leaked to Nature by an anonymous source.

Full text of the letter

Michael Osterholm appeard in this Nature video explaining the mutant H5N1 controversy in February.

The two-day meeting held at the end of March was meant to put an end to swirling controversy around research papers describing an H5N1avian influenza virus able to pass between mammals, in this case ferrets, which are a model for human flu transmission. When the NSABB was asked by the US government to review the papers for publication in the fall of 2011, they suggested that the papers be published in redacted form, stripping away detail that would allow people to recreate the viruses.

The recommendation was a controversial compromise pitting the ideals of open, international science communication against concerns that the work could be misused by bioterrorists or result in the accidental release of a potentially devastating pathogen. In February, after the World Health Organization convened a brief meeting in Geneva, Switzerland that favoured full publication, the US government asked NSABB to reconvene and reconsider their position in light of modifications made to the papers and new information presented by the researchers.

At that meeting, the NSABB revised their position, voting unanimously to publish one of the papers, a manuscript submitted to Nature by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin, Madison and the University of Tokyo. But the board voted only 12-to-6 in favour of publishing the other paper, submitted to Science by Ron Fouchier of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Several members of the board, including Osterholm felt that the modifications made to the paper did not strip away their concerns.

In the letter, dated 12 April, Osterholm writes that the March meeting was stacked heavily in favour of experts doing such research on flu viruses, who had an interest in the outcome of the decision. It did not give voice to disinterested scientists with relevant expertise. He says he had recommended several such individuals and they were not invited. While arguments were made at the meeting that the data in these papers would support surveillance efforts, Osterholm said there were no experts working on the frontlines of influenza surveillance present. A recent analysis by Nature suggested that surveillance efforts require other kinds of support before they could use such data. And a security briefing that Osterholm says influenced many of the NSABB members was “one of them [sic.] most incomplete and, dare I say, useless classified security briefings I’ve ever attended.” Osterholm has worked on biosecurity issues for the department of Health and Human Services for 20 years.

Prior to the meeting, assessments of NSABB’s proposed redaction deemed it too difficult to facilitate. NSABB had recommended that only brief announcements of the findings be published, and that only qualified, vetted experts gain access to the full data and methods.

Officials essentially took that option off the table, meaning that NSABB members would have to vote either for full publication or no publication. Osterholm writes that removing this merely “kicked the can down the road,” saying that he heard at the meeting that Fouchier has found “one additional mutation that now confers H5N1 transmissibility between mammals without ferret passage.” Publishing this finding could raise the same issues: “If we believe redaction of the current manuscript is problematic in terms of international agreements, I think the next mutation paper will prove to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.”

Osterholm, when contacted by phone, would say little about the letter, which he did not make public. He asserted that “This type of review must be based on an expert, scientific, risk-benefit basis. And it should involve disinterested experts from a variety of fields.” He also noted: “I have been and continue to be a supporter of this kind of research.”

At publication of this story, neither Patterson nor other officials at the NIH were able to respond.
