Artículo de Martin Furmanski del 2014 titulado "Una breve y terrorífica historia de virus que escapan de laboratorios: la pandemia china de los años 70 fue un error de laboratorio". Subtítulo: "El peligro de una pandemia causada por el hombre generada por una fuga de un laboratorio no es irreal". En él enumera varios casos confirmados en los que virus que salieron de laboratorios por accidente causaron enfermedades en la población.
This paper presentsan historical review of outbreaks of Potentially Pandemic Pathogens or similarly transmissible pathogens that occurred from presumably well-funded and supervised nationally supported laboratories. It should be emphasized that these examples are only the “tip of the iceberg” because they represent laboratory accidents that have actually caused illness outside of the laboratory in the general public environment. The list of laboratory workers who have contracted potentially contagious infections in microbiology labs but did not start community outbreaks is much, much longer. The examples here are not “near misses;” these escapes caused real-world outbreaks.
Creo que es importante ver con perspectiva que estos "fallos" han sucedido y, probablemente, seguirán sucediendo.

Los sabios de menéame se han pronunciado: "bulo: 4, errónea: 4, sensacionalista: 1". No es de extrañar que haya quien abandona el barco.
