“Americans’ fear of a terrorism could create a mass outbreak of a psychosomatic illness — even in the absence of any real attack — — creating a fake epidemic that could overwhelm hospitals attempting to treat real victims.
…feds warned hospitals in a nonpublic 2006 communique recently published by the government sunshine site Wikileaks.
…In fact, the feds suggest (.pdf) that there’s already been a totally terrorism-fear-created illness in California where no one was actually sick from an attack.
In that case, a man walked into a California bank in October 2003, sprayed an aerosol can into the air and then left. Employees and customers became ill, though investigators found there were no biological or chemical agents in the air. (Note proof of this incident is attributed to a November 2003 FBI report that is also considered too sensitive for the public’s eyes.)” (Wired)
