Some experts believe that the modification may increase the risk of human-to-human transmission of the virus.
The question is why the US government decided to unfreeze the experiment 4 years after it was halted, and why there are no more updates regarding the experiment.
2.美军生物实验室一度关闭停产,真相是什么?

日前,据“全球生物防御”(globalbiodefence)网站报道,位于马里兰州德特里克堡的美国陆军传染病医学研究所(USAMRIID)已经全面恢复运行。
去年7月,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)正式向位于马里兰州德特里克堡的美国陆军传染病医学研究所(USAMRIID)发出“停产令”,要求其停止进行“特定生物制剂与毒素”研究。
今年3月,白宫请愿网站出现一道特殊的请愿帖,要求美国政府公布去年7月“关闭”德特里克堡生物实验室的真正原因。USAMRIID神秘“关闭”和迅速重启引人关注。针对白宫请愿网站请愿帖上的要求,美国作何回应?
