Worse than an accident is the threat of bioterrorism. These days, trained scientists can engineer pathogens with commercially available equipment inside lab spaces that are small enough to be easy to conceal. https://t.co/FYN5g8E1lj — PolitiTweet.org

Lab security is not great. When the FDA moved offices from Bethesda to White Oak they found a box full of lost viral samples in the back of a cold storage room. It had six vials of smallpox. Other countries have done much worse. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X https://t.co/X2uF5xXZRR — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike a nuclear weapon, it's really hard to make a biological weapon *useful* unless you're a total nutjob who wants to kill tons of people at random. But people — including distinguished scientists — say crazy things about this! https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X https://t.co/mh1aah8izO — PolitiTweet.org
