"There were some episodes of infection, but they weren't all that bad. In any case, anything that did happen on the post was restricted to the post. Nobody got infected at Camp Detrick and started an epidemic outside in Frederick, Maryland. It was contained on the post. I mention this because all of the horrifying scenarios that have been written by molecular biologists and science fiction writers don't have to happen. Many of these proved methods and techniques of handling organisms and storing them, having access to them, were developed in Camp Detrick. These are still the criteria by which most people in pathogenic microbiology operate."
