How do you "backpedal" scientific research? Do you retract your publications, confuse the public and pay off the contributing researchers to keep silent?https://twitter.com/j2blather/status/1125434175924912128 …
backpedal on the PLAN or the RATE of release, not the actual releases that are already out the gate

So how does that work? You do research on anthrax, and to see if the public is ready for that you first release parts of the research until you can see the first little outbreaks and decide that you should slow down the rate of publications?

maybe yes? if you have a design for a big bomb, and you release some plans for a plant that makes precursor chemical X, and people misuse that, then that's (a) a good sign to stop (b) not as bad as releasing the whole thing
