Scientists Weaponize Deadly Bird Flu, Consider Releasing Results Necessary to Create Bioweapon

It sounds like something out of a bizarre science fiction comic book, but scientists have weaponized the H5N1 bird flu virus, and are actually considering releasing the research.
這聽起來像出自一本奇怪的科幻漫畫書，但科學家們已武器化H5N1禽流感病毒，及實際上正在考慮釋放研究成品。

The experiments, which involved mutating the virus a total of 5 times, made the strain highly contagious between ferrets — the very animal model used to study human flu infection.
涉及將病毒變種共5次的實驗，使菌株在雪貂之間 - 那種非常動物模型用於研究人類流感病毒感染 - 變得高度傳染性。
Of course many scientists are now warning that if such research was made public it could result in the construction of deadly bioweapons.
當然現在許多科學家警告，如果這樣的研究被公諸於世，它可能會導致致命生物武器的建設。
Making the virus highly contagious could result in widespread infection. The H5N1 virus has been infecting birds and other animals in recent years, though it has also infected around 500 people.
使病毒變得高度傳染性可能會導致普遍的感染，近年來H5N1病毒一直在感染鳥類和其它動物，雖然它亦有感染約 500人。
The reason that it has not become an epidemic is due to the fact that affected humans are usually not very contagious. Therefore, altering the virus to become highly contagious is quite possibly the deadliest tweak which could be done.
它未有成為一種流行病的原因是由於那事實，受影響的人通常都不是非常傳染性。因此，改變病毒成為具有高度傳染性，是頗有可能那可能被做了的致命調整。
It seems that these scientists are just asking for the new weaponized bird flu virus to infect the public.
這看來科學家們剛在要求新的武器化禽流感病毒來傳染市民大眾。

生物恐怖主義的恐懼冒起，當科學家推動去釋放武器化的禽流感研究成果
Bioterrorism fears arise as scientists push to release weaponized bird flu research

Dr. Thomas Inglesby, a bioterrorism expert and director of the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, notes that it is simply a bad idea for scientists to militarize bird flu, let alone publish the results:

'It’s just a bad idea for scientists to turn a lethal virus into a lethal and highly contagious virus. And it’s a second bad idea for them to publish how they did it so others can copy it,' says Inglesby.

So far no scientific journal has published the findings, and Inglesby hopes that none of them will. Virologist Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands is responsible for weaponizing the virus and presenting the findings at a flu conference held in Malta. He has recently come under attack by an organization known as the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, a committee of independent experts on biological research.

Ron Fouchier says that mutating the virus to become highly contagious is shocking enough, but the fact that some scientists are now pushing for the release of the research is beyond outlandish.

It seems apparent that these scientists have zero regard for public health.
