Current USAID leadership inherited DEEP VZN. Now that they know about the security implications, they can follow the advice of @EdwardCHolmes arambaut Kristian G. Andersen and refocus it on monitoring human populations to catch and contain epidemics before they become pandemics.

Very bad idea for the USAID #deepvzn program to generate + publish a list of the zoonotic viruses most capable of future pandemics. Big risk of bad actors creating them, or holding the world ransom with a plausible threat. Resources better spent monitoring and rapid response.

All my friends are without water, power and internet in Kyiv. Not that this means anything to the world at the moment, but there it is.
