ABSTRACT

Diseases are more widespread due to globalization. The 2009 Flu pandemic is a striking example. Diseases as SARS or avian flu could cause as many casualties as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. That’s why doing research to have a deep understanding of how microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria, or pathogens in general, are transmitted and conformed is essential to public health. Since by late 2011, a couple of would be papers about avian flu were recommended to be censored by Science and Nature editors, here we debate about the possible rightness of this censorship, along with a series of past activities that show a double standard of the censorship requesters.
