两项涉及 H5N1 (H5) 亚型流感病毒在雪貂中传播的研究的发表引发的持续争议，以及美国国家生物安全科学咨询委员会对手稿中关键细节进行编辑的建议，需要对相关科学事实进行审查。此外，媒体还呼吁消灭病毒，限制该领域的未来研究，并保护公众免受此类“可怕”的研究工作的影响。恐惧需要依靠可靠的科学而不是猜测来消除。
The ongoing controversy over publication of two studies involving the transmission in ferrets of H5N1 (H5) subtype influenza viruses and the recommendations of the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity to redact key details in the manuscripts call for an examination of relevant scientific facts. In addition, there are calls in the media to destroy the viruses, curtail future research in this area, and protect the public from such "frightening" research efforts. Fear needs to be put to rest with solid science and not speculation.
