Some critics worry that researchers may create a "super germ" that could threaten millions if it somehow escaped the lab.

In 2017, Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist who directs the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard School of Public Health, told The New York Times that recent disease-enhancing experiments "have given us some modest scientific knowledge and done almost nothing to improve our preparedness for pandemics, and yet risked creating an accidental pandemic."

In 2017, Michael Osterholm, PhD, MPH, director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), said that he is most concerned about public health implications if details about the experiments become publicly available, a process which the new framework doesn't spell out. "How we detail that information needs to be considered," he said in a news post on CIDRAP's website. "Until we have that part solved, I'm concerned about the work being done."

The funding pause on such research in 2014 came after a slew of incidents involving the mishandling of potentially dangerous pathogens in government laboratories, including the accidental exposure of workers to anthrax at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Just weeks later, health officials discovered decades-old vials of smallpox virus improperly stored in refrigerator at the National Institutes Health in Maryland.
