Some of those pages are still there, but most have been long since rewritten.
But that is a LONG sleazy story.

Typhoid Mary
Mary Mallon (September 23, 1869 – November 11, 1938), known commonly as Typhoid Mary, was an Irish-born American cook believed to have infected between 51 and 122 people with typhoid fever. The infections caused three confirmed deaths, with unconfirmed estimates of as many as 50. She was the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogenic bacteria Salmonella typhi.[1][2] She was forcibly quarantined twice by authorities, the second time for the remainder of her life because she persisted in working as a cook and thereby exposed others to the disease. Mallon died after a total of nearly 30 years quarantined.[3][4] Her popular nickname has since become a term for persons who spread disease or other misfortune, not always aware that they are doing so.

I don't use Wikipedia, I don't trust it to be accurate and there are many other wiki's that are better.
In fact, I have Ublock Origin set up to automatically remove Wikipedia from search engine results. Lol I know it's off-topic but my two cents.

My mother used to refer to her when I was little. She'd tell me to cover my mouth when I coughed and not behave like Typhoid Mary lolTyphoid Mary

This one makes it sound like today's nut-jobs haven't made a whole lot of forward progress.

There weren't that many nut jobs back then. School shootings or mass shootings weren't happening either.

Inquest into mass stabbing begins in Melfort
