The grave risk of lab-created potentially pandemic pathogens

This is an interesting contrarian take on the safety of high-BSL labs which conduct gain of function research.

The article describes safety errors at a lab at the University of Wisconsin, resulting in:

- accidental flooding of the lab's high containment suite - incomplete protective gear worn during a spill of an avian respiratory virus (not CoV-2) - a lab tech quarantining at home after a needlestick injury rather than at a dedicated facility on-site

I don't know that I agree with the author's risk assessment at the end of the article but I feel that the overview of safety breaches justified my reading time.
