Reminds me of the 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack[1] which was investigated by the CDC and also blamed on sick workers[2] because they were the first to fall ill.
Only after internal conflicts between the Rajneeshes rose up to the surface, it turned out it was an intentional biological attack.
Netflix' Wild Wild Country is a good that covers it (eventhough it is too long, and way too nice towards the Rajneeshees).

- hgsgm 3y agoIn 1984 people were already spamming the word "terrorism" on everything? That wasn't a terror attack. No one was terrorised or threatened. The crime was voter suppression by physically preventing people from accessing the polls.

- tedunangst 3y agoU.S. Code Title 22 Chapter 38, Section 2656f(d) defines terrorism as: "Premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents". Actual terror is not included in many definitions of terrorism.
