Addition of (debunked ) conspiracy theories?
editI think the page is very good and comprehensive. However, I looked for the term conspiracy on the page and didnt find it. I wonder if this is undue apprehension ? I think we should take misinformation head on.
A widely circulated conspiracy theory is that B.burgdorferi was manipulated at Plum Island. I think this should be mentioned, but wanted to test teh waters on talk before adding it. Wuerzele (talk) 11:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
