Will the #nasgof RBA try to quantify the benefits from the research? Only seen attempts to quantify biosafety risks.
RT @SelectAgent: "Moratorium on risky experiments lifted for MERS mouse studies" http://t.co/kmhRD1pM0A @NewsfromScience #NASGOF
My take-aways from this week's National Academies' "Gain of Function" meeting http://t.co/nWP40BMJnf @NASciences #NASGOF
#NASGOF Alta Charo: shd be thinking in marginal/net terms
#NASGOF Alta Charo: risks of GoF widely distributed but benefits disproportionately to rich. Either don't do or improve fairness
I was wondering when it would arrive - #nasgof told of the need to improve public literacy of the science
#NASGOF RA: [at last] says we shouldn't overstate benefits. But then continues to repeat unquestioned claims of proponents.
#NASGOF Ron Atlas is systematically providing every asserted benefit from the meeting without skepticism, not raising any of the queries.
#NASGOF Ron Atlas: benefits are not aways predictable, often serendipitous. GOF important tool. SARS/MERS esp. crucial.
#NASGOF: @ProfCharlesHaas: to what degree can biol modifications reduce risk? Acceptable level of risk is trans-scientific qn.
#NASGOF @ProfCharlesHaas need to consider dose-response and host/microbe/environment triangle. Must consider uncertainty.
#NASGOF @ProfCharlesHaas: need public health not occupational health view; do current BSL safety records = basis or are GOF labs diff?
#NASGOF @ProfCharlesHaas: need baseline for comparison -- status quo ante, or the pause. Hazard: treat diff viruses differently.
#NASGOF RL: biosafety panel not institutional.
#NASGOF RL: Mantra that GOF is useful for vaccines and antivirals is a pathetic throwaway line. [!!]. High risk GOF expts need central...
#NASGOF RL: Lipsitch-Galvani alternatives don't give the same info on pathogenesis as animal models [I agree - but how essential is this?]
#NASGOF Rational to analyze risk then take it; pause is the necessary response to mistake of taking risk first.
#NASGOF ...experiments that their colleagues have warned against without careful risk assessment. http://t.co/rGsWI60wVr.
#NASGOF not sure what I think of figures on "pipeline" that Baric showed but perhaps the lesson is virologists shd not start dangerous...
#NASGOF R Lamb cites his 1999 commetary on reverse genetics and need to avoid making dangerous viruses. http://t.co/rGsWI60wVr [worth read]
