Conspiracy theory

[edit]

Moved to talk page:

Possible note: Biological warfare center, with the recent expansion and recommisioning of Fort Detrick, the Biological warfare center has been listed as a potential concentration camp.

Please provide a source. thanks. Travb (talk) 04:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely -- real contingency plans for handling plague infected foreigners would like take the form of fatal airliner crashes with lots of flames...BaWaHaHaHa.
Come on. If you are going to create conspiracy theories you need to be more creative. This just relabels ordinary potential measures for quarantine and research on new plagues with a bad word. I mean where else would the USA have facilities for treating and researching a cure? You at least need to take some photos of Fredrick Maryland city limits signs being replaced with "Raccoon City" signs.

Propose adding text on National Research Council Report

[edit]

Hi, I'd like to add a paragraph to the "post-cold war" section that discusses a recent National Research Council report about the possible toxic effects from past environmental contamination at Fork Detrick.

In 2012 the United States National Research Council published a report that reviewed two investigations of potential health hazards at Fort Detrick: a 2009 public health assessment conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and a cancer investigation in Frederick County by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Frederick County Health Department [1].
The report found the two studies are unable to demonstrate whether people were harmed by groundwater contaminated with toxic pollutants from Area B of Fort Detrick. Furthermore, it is unlikely that additional studies could establish a link, because data on early exposures were not collected and cannot be obtained or reliably estimated now.

I'd appreciate any comments or edits. Earlgrey101 (talk) 16:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"This baseless allegation"?

[edit]

The above doesn't sound that objective or encyclopedia-like to my ear. It's been a biological weapons lab for almost a century; that seems "baseful" enough to me. Membender (talk) 21:51, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theories regarding the origin of coronavirus (COVID-19)

[edit]

People recently have been speculating whether COVID-19 originated from Fort detrick. Many reports have shown that two months before the first case of COVID-19, Fort detrick was abruptly shut down following serious safety violations, in particular relating to the disposal of dangerous materials. Coincidentally, there were gew mysterious disease outbreak just 100 miles away from Fort Detrick, some experts called it flu while others responded with vaping as the cause. This raised huge suspicion between people, who began commenting on YouTube about whether Fort Detrick was the origin of COVID-19, questioning whether WHO should visit Fort Detrick. Despite many messages are being deleted by YouTube, it is still a heavily discussed topic by many chinese news sites, such as CGTN, Global times, China Now, etc. John Holbrook (talk) 16:29, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Fort Detrick

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Fort Detrick's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CDC":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 10:34, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
