At the same time the council should vote that all research should be conducted at a single site, such as Fort Detrick, the former biological warfare laboratory, for several years so the results of the experimentation can be observed without high risk. The scientists' experiments should be open to public scrutiny, and the goals of the researchers arrived at by public debate...
...Weedham Report, prepared at the request of the NIH, found that there have been 423 infections and three deaths in the last 25 years of operation under the most careful containment conditions at the Fort Detrick labs for study of viruses.
