RUSH: You know what? I'm afraid I'm going to end up being called an Ebolaphobe, and I'm Ebolaphobic. I fully expect the Regime to drag that term out. You wait. It's going to happen. Because they're going to get tired, the CDC director, all these people are going to get tired of everybody commenting on the fact that they don't know what they're doing. Or commenting on their lack of preparedness. Or commenting on their precious protocols that supersede everything, until they change the protocols, which they just did.
And the Regime, as we all know, leftists just can't stand criticism. It's not appreciated. And when they have the power, it isn't tolerated. And don't be surprised if you start hearing the term Ebolaphobe.

RUSH: Do you see where Mark Zuckerberg and his wife are donating $25 million to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation to help fight Ebola? They have a press release. I have it right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers. "The Ebola epidemic is at a critical turning point. It has infected 8,400 people so far, but it is spreading very quickly and projections suggest it could infect 1 million people or more over the next several months if not addressed. We need to get Ebola under control in the near term so that it doesn’t spread further," and hurt what I really care about, and that is open border amnesty for immigrants. Sorry, he didn't say that. I made that up. He didn't put that in there. I'm sorry, folks. My mind lost the guardrails there for a second. Good thing I caught myself in the nick of time.
"We believe our grant is the quickest way to empower the CDC and the experts in this field to prevent this outcome." This is, I don't know, see, there's no win. There's no way I can win speaking truth to this. Because mission accomplished. This is, "Oh, man, look at Zuckerberg. Yeah, he's got money, but he's willing to give it away. He wants to save us all from getting Ebola. Oh my God, such a great guy. How do you compete with that? Why do you want to compete with it, Mr. Limbaugh? Why in the world?"
I don't want to compete with it, good point, Mr. New Castrati. But $25 million. There aren't any experts in the CDC, that's my problem. The evidence is abundant. There aren't any experts there, at least the people speaking for it are not. Has the CDC come up with any treatment, protocol? Has the CDC come up with any, shall we say, serum? Has the CDC come up with anything? No. But a private sector company has. I'm sorry, a private enterprise company. The serum made from the tobacco plant.
Twenty-five million to the CDC. Their budget is how many billions? If they're going to give $25 million away, how about giving it to a private company that may be on the verge of finding a cure for this? That's just me, and I know I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. As I say, there's no way winning this, and I'm not trying to win anything. But I know what this is.
The rest of the Zuckerberg statement: "We believe our grant is the quickest way to empower the CDC and the experts in this field to prevent this outcome." Meaning the spread. You see, money equals the solution. "Grants like this directly help the frontline responders in their heroic work. These people are on the ground setting up care centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more. We are hopeful this will help save lives and get this outbreak under control. To learn more about --" blah, blah, blah and here's the website and e mail address for the foundation if you want to give a couple of bucks.
So the Zuckerbergs have given $25 million to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation, a government bureaucracy to continue doing what they're doing. What a great guy, absolutely fabulous guy. Kudos. Absolutely kudos.
We have Fox News Channel yesterday afternoon, The Real Story, Gretchen Carlson, spoke with Purdue University Biological Sciences professor, David Sanders, about the Ebola crisis. Purdue University Biological Sciences Professor. And she asked him, "Why do you believe that Ebola could be transmitted via the air?" There isn't anybody out there saying that.
SANDERS: There are two basic points. The first is that a very closely related virus called Ebola Reston is known to spread between animals by an airborne route. That's what all the evidence suggests. The second point is the result of our own research, that shows that Ebola Zaire enters human lung cells from the airway side. So it has the inherent capacity to enter the lung from the airway. Now, I'm not saying that there's any evidence that the current spread is due to anything but bodily fluid contact. But we have to consider the possibility that it can enter through an airway route.
RUSH: I think we should because people in full hazmat gear have come down with the virus. Ebola Zaire enters human lung cells from the airway side. So it has the inherent capacity to enter the lung from the airway. Now, I'm not saying that there's any evidence that the current spread is due to anything but bodily fluid contact, but we have to consider the possibility. Well, they're telling us no. Wait a minute. Hard to keep track. It was just yesterday that they walked back this business that it's not airborne and somebody somewhere, within close proximity of the leadership of the CDC said it might be possible. They don't know. They just don't know.
I know they have been telling us the fact that it's not airborne. But I can't keep track, my memory, anyway, of who it was, but there was something yesterday, this is Tuesday, right? It might have been Friday. I think it was yesterday. I had a story here that somebody, and it was not some outlier, it was somebody with close ties to either of the NIH or the CDC, openly stated that we don't know enough. It could be spread via the air. Just don't know yet. And that's all this guy is saying. But I'm comforted by the fact that the Pentagon's gearing up for climate change. So I'm resting easy about all of this.
Last night on CNN's The Lead, Jake Tapper, spoke with Penn State University Professor Public Health Sciences, Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner, about the Ebola crisis and Jake Tapper said, "That NBC crew that came in contract with the cameraman, the New Jersey health officials said over the weekend that they had violated a 21-day isolation agreement, so the New Jersey health officials issued a mandatory quarantine order. This is confusing to me. Why was the isolation voluntary? And it just seems like if the health authorities really want them to stay away from the public, why didn't they issue the mandatory quarantine to begin with?"
SKINNER: This is what is adding so much confusion to how we actually tackle a highly infectious disease like Ebola. The Public Health Service Act is the federal government's authority for a mandatory quarantine when required for particular reasons. Again, from the federal level down to the state level, each state now has their own legislation and authority instrument. That doesn't make a lot of sense because we keep hearing from the CDC director, "We know how to contain Ebola. We have all the necessary staff and equipment in place, and we know that you can't spread Ebola until you have symptoms."
TAPPER: Right.
SKINNER: And so why when people like myself, when I came back from Nigeria, had I been in contact with Ebola patients? Yes. Was I put into quarantine? No. And again there was no process there.
RUSH: Because nobody knows what they're doing. Tapper had a good question. Hey, look, these are NBC. They're our competitors and this babe Snyderman went out, volunteered a quarantine to get a bowl of soup at a leftist soup place. She's out there possibly infecting people, how come they didn't make the quarantine mandatory? I think it's great that the CNN guy wants a mandatory quarantine of NBC news people. Don't you like that? Right on, Jake.

RUSH: From Berlin, Associated Press: "A United Nations medical worker who was infected with Ebola in Liberia has died despite 'intensive medical procedures,' a German hospital said Tuesday. The St. Georg hospital in Leipzig said the 56-year-old man, whose name has not been released, died overnight of the infection. It released no further details and did not answer telephone calls.
"The man tested positive for Ebola on Oct. 6, prompting Liberia's UN peacekeeping mission to place 41 staff members who had possibly been in contact with him under 'close medical observation.' He arrived in Leipzig for treatment on Oct. 9. The hospital's chief executive, Dr. Iris Minde, said at the time that there was no risk of infection for other patients, relatives, visitors or the public.
"The man was kept in a secure isolation ward specially equipped with negative pressure rooms that are hermetically sealed and can only be accessed through a number of airlocks. All air and fluids are filtered and all equipment is decontaminated after use, Minde said. The Ebola patient was the third to be flown to Germany for treatment."
We have an Ebola update from the White House, ladies and gentlemen, direct from our own Physician in Chief, President Barack H. Obama.

RUSH: I want to give you some numbers, some Ebola numbers. And I want to ask you if you've heard these numbers, if you've read about these numbers anywhere. As of today, as of now, more than 233 doctors and nurses have died from Ebola just this year. Did you know that? Have you seen that anywhere?
Two hundred and thirty-three doctors and nurses have died from Ebola just this year. That number, 233, includes highly trained doctors, such as the Medical Director of the two largest hospitals in Liberia. The number includes United Nations doctors. The number includes two healthcare workers from Doctors Without Borders teams. In other words, the number of people who have died in the healthcare industry, 233 out of the nearly 4,000 deaths, 233 from medical treatment professionals.
Now, I'm not trying to cause any trouble here, but I have a question. Did all of them violate protocol? Did every one of these health professionals violate some protocol from Dr. Frieden and the Centers for Disease Control. Or did they all violate protocols from the World Health Organization, or the United Nations? Did they? Because if they did, they either don't believe in the protocols or the protocols are comprised of incompetence. And if they didn't violate the protocols and yet still succumb to the disease, then what?
Two hundred and thirty-three this year. We're approaching over 8,000 cases. We're approaching 4,000 deaths. I saw on the tube this morning some, again, expert said that the newly calculated death rate in the current outbreak of Ebola in Africa is approaching 80 percent. The normal death rate is expressed as between 50 and 90 percent, and it's been right around 70. It's been upped now to 80 percent as of today.
“racist” is the preferred epithet.
That’s what they are implying anyway - if you want to keep ebola out of the country, you’re a racist.
The majority of deaths from Ebola may end up being people of races other that those originating from northern Europe.
White people may just have genetic protection because of past plagues.
They could call me whatever they like.
I know how to deal with liars, racists, vampires and ISIS.
I don’t want Ebola. I don’t want to be a tortured. Not going to be brainwashed.
And, sure as can be, I would not vote for a liberal either side.
Oh, if those stats start to percolate to the surface...
You can imagine the race baiters saying white people created ebola to kill brown people.
Leftists want us to embrace Ebola and give it a big hug and kiss..until THEY get infected themselves, then its not so cute anymore
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
That is already happening. Calypso Louie has made that claim.
Many of us are proud to be called Obola-phobes.
Ebolaphobe that is great.. does that mean that people are ebolaphobes because they secretly want to have ebola?
If you’re not an ebolaphone, you must be a bug chaser!
it might not sound related, but I toyed with this in my mind today...
The dems said that black men were incapable of controlling their passions and therefore had to distract them with basketballs in the 1990’s...hence, MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL
Now, Jesse Jackson will say it is racist to not allow flights from Ebola infected countries to the USA...yet think of this:
Black men and women from Liberia have family where in the US?
Most likely in NYC, DC, Atlanta, LA, East St Louis...predominantly Black inner cities...East LA, too
So, by DEMANDING we allow flights from ebola infected countries or be called racists, who will be infected first?
It wont be white people in Brentwood...or Provincetown...or Glastonbury...
And it will be because that racist hate mongering phony preacher Sharpton or Jackson demanded the flights go through or all white people are racist!
In the two examples here, the most racist people were the black democrats
In each of these, the people affected the most negatively are black Americans
All because of anti-white racism
phobes are people that have irrational fears about something.
given the current handling and lax security and treatment of it, it’s ratioal to be fearful it’s not being handled correctly, or well.
you’re not phobic if you are basing concern and worry over rational and lgical reasons.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Being called an Ebolaphobe is bad enough; wait until they start calling people Deathophobes.
Yes, I’m definitely an ebolaphobe, to the extent that if a case is reported in my town, I’ll grocery shop out of town and avoid large gatherings. If it crops up in another town, I’ll avoid going there.
I plan to get the vaccine, once it is in general production. I guess that’s ebolaphobic as well.
So be it.
If we still had our sane, pre-1965 immigration policy, there wouldn’t be very many families here with ties to Ebola-land to begin with.
Thanks for the ping!
