ProPublica: University of North Carolina COVID Lab Cited for “Risk of Accidents” (pure coincidence?)

Reports indicate UNC researchers were potentially exposed to lab-created coronaviruses in several incidents since 2015. These incidents highlight the risks even in the most secure and respected research facilities.

  1. It is notable that in October, 2014, the Health and Human Services Department under the Obama administration placed a moratorium on gain-of-function research at facilities precisely because of safety incidents. What is ironic, is that the UNC research on circulating bat viruses at that same time was apparently exempted from said moratorium. The moratorium was finally lifted in December, 2017.
