(From another Freeper):"The experts at the CDC and elsewhere work closely with the people who actually work in the labs researching Ebola-
-the people who have discovered everything we know about Ebola."
My response : POPPYCOCK !!
The CDC, these are the same people who obtained a damaged enroute sample in 1976 and upon which they have become the national authority on Ebola.
The same CDC that had unsecured samples of smallpox, anthrax ,etc., that they didn't even know that they had until an inventory was completed?
The same CDC that blamed nurses for contracting Ebola, rather than address the problem and question their own established medical protocals ?
The same CDC that supports the political AGENDA "OPEN BORDERS" ..even though it defies "COMMON SENSE " !!
The same CDC that employs nurse Kaci Hickox, who refuses to self-quarantine in New Jersey, or in Maine, despite her having a slight fever upon arrival in the States ?
The same CDC that is offering legal representation by Obola administrations attorney to violate quarantine , and public safety ? The same CDC that had to change its established safety measures after saying N-95 masks were sufficient,
took two weeks to change protocal, and now state P-100 masks are now derermined to be safe ?
The same CDC that now reccomends staying 6 feet away from an Ebola patient, while denying any aerosol/airborne condition?
The same CDC that predicted doubling every month (R=1.5), when in fact it is doubling (R=2.0) every 18 - 21 days ?
The same CDC , yeah , I have heard of them
But I trust Medicines Sans Frontiers who has frontline Ebola expierience and suggests total bodily coverage, along with independent air supply.
The current CDC has become a political ally with the current Ebola strategy of "OPEN BORDERS" and denying "COMMON SENSE", so I no longer pay attention to them!
I note that the CDC has recently(within the last 3 days) changed protocol to expand distance from infected from three feet to a reccomended six feet distance
but it only took almost two months to change that medical protocol - that's government efficiency for you !
Now , don't you feel safer ?
I still trust Medicines Sans Frontiers(Doctors Without Borders) protocals because they have expierience, and are flexible enough to change from conditions that don't work !
Of course I recognize my own words.
Is your belief, then, that the scientists who study Ebola in the lab lie to the CDC about the biology of Ebola? Do you believe that the many health care workers who have traveled to Africa periodically for the last 40 years to assist with outbreaks are lying to the CDC about Ebola? Do you believe that all of these experts have lied in the thousands of articles since 1977 they have published in the scientific journals about Ebola?
I do not see any statement that the CDC has made that is in any way contradictory to the data that the experts who know Ebola have published. Thus, either the experts are lying, or the CDC is presenting factual information. It makes no sense for the experts to lie--especially considering that no one who works in the field ever expected Ebola to suddenly become newsworthy. I truly cannot understand all of the conspiracy-mongering about this.
Also, the CDC guidelines on infection control are quite comprehensive. Is it the CDC's fault that the nurses were not trained adequately? Isn't that the responsibility of their employer?
