ChatGPT bio-risk filter glitch blocks every prompt, even "What is 2+2?"

AI researcher curiouswavefn reports that after routine bacterial toxin research prompts triggered OpenAI's biological-risk filter a couple of times, the same filter began applying to every single one of his prompts the next day — even "What is 2+2?" and a request for American history books, each returning "This content can't be shown" with a Trusted Access referral. Follow-up discussion suggests the cause is ChatGPT's use of previous chat context, meaning earlier research content keeps re-triggering the filter; deleting those chats appears to fix it.
