But there’s no way Wilson was unaware of the huge spike in mortality figures. His War Cabinet coordinated attempts at medical intervention at that same Kansas military base a year later, long after the cat was out of the bag.

He should have known about it a year before they started doing medical intervention? I'm not sure the logic here. The fact that medical interventions at the same place a year later means people should've known when the first cases started being reported?

He should have known about it a year before they started doing medical intervention?

His administrative staff should have alerted him to it, at a minimum. And his chief officer corpse should have responded to the skyrocketing mortality rate of soldiers who hadn't even reached the front lines yet.

But that would have disrupted the March to War, an unforgivable sin.

The fact that medical interventions at the same place a year later means people should’ve known when the first cases started being reported?

The fact that they were actively seeking to inoculate against the spread means they'd already recognized the problem in advance and yet continued to send infected troops to the front line for months.
