There are plans to build a deadly high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab in Kings Cross. The lab could be level 3 facility which means that it could contain deadly pathogens such as anthrax and bird flu. The lab has been criticised by MI5, MPs, councillors, business and local resdients. Now scientists have admitted that the deadly Swine Flu was leaked from a lab 3 decades ago.
Scientists have admitted that the strain of influenza known as "Swine Flu" which has killed 300 people was possibly leaked from a lab three decades ago. They believe that the flu strain could be realted to a strain leaked from a lab in Russia in the 1970s.
This shows that no lab is infallible and that Kings Cross is an unsuitable place for a deadly lab. Scientists from the NIMR have criticised the lab on safety grounds and approached the Camden New Journal. MI5 approached the Evening Standard regarding safety fears. No matter how impregnable the proposed lab there are always possibilties that transportation of deadly pathogens through built up London will pose a risk. Pathogens are transported using courier firms and even bicycle couriers carry deadly germs across the city.
This lab is a dangeous, ill thought out proposal and ought to be opposed.
