Fun fact: Marburg virus is named after Marburg, Germany—where the virus does not naturally occur—because the first documented outbreak was caused by a lab leak at the Behringwerke industrial plant there. @BiosafetyNow
@jbkinney @BiosafetyNow I guess you have no idea how biosecurity was in 1967!!!! compared to now. They where still pipetting with their mouth (that's what everyone did back then). Now it takes an hour to get in and out of BSL4 labs. Watch the This Week in Virology podcast episode 200 on YouTube to learn
@AwakenedJoyce @PrometheusCHT @Auraya25 @jbkinney Try reading the article. It didn't escape.
@yoshkapundrick @AwakenedJoyce @Auraya25 @jbkinney It did escape. Multiple times. You must struggle with arithmetic.
@PrometheusCHT @AwakenedJoyce @Auraya25 @jbkinney You must struggle with virology/immunology.
@yoshkapundrick @AwakenedJoyce @Auraya25 @jbkinney If two lab workers were infected and eight people total were infected, how many were infected with an escaped pathogen? How many were LAIs?
@PrometheusCHT @AwakenedJoyce @Auraya25 @jbkinney If I were you I would ask for my tuition money back on the virology/immunology/public health classes you took.
