2012年2月17日,在日内瓦经过两日的会议闭幕,22个来自全球的公共卫生官员和病毒学家步出会议室,为首的世卫组织助理总干事福田敬二博士对等待已久的记者公布了会议的最终决定。一篇科学论文,美国政府先是资助而后阻止其发布,最后须由世卫组织裁定,这在科学史上是罕见的。这种或许能演变成“生物武器”的高致死性病毒,让每一位参与者的神经都高度紧绷。 On February 17, 2012, after a two-day meeting in Geneva, 22 world-wide public health officials and virologists stepped out of the conference room.
