A government scientist kept silent about a potentially dangerous lab blunder and revealed it only after workers in another lab noticed something fishy, according to an internal investigation.
The accident happened in January at the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

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...
Other articles have reported even more problems with handling of these various viruses.
I could make a fortune with a TV news channel that actually reported news.
There is a thought that has been on my mind for a while.
Affirmative action has been used to put people on university campuses that wouldn’t have been there otherwise. They muddle through and get degrees. The question is whether those degrees were earned with the level of work those whose academic scores earned them a spot on campus.
Perhaps this isn’t an instance of it, but I sometimes wonder if the failures we are seeing in certain fields, are evidence of the down side of affirmative action diplomas.
It would have to be paid subscription. No advertiser would touch it...
One need look no farther than the White House to see the downside of AA promotions...
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
...and revealed it only after workers in another lab noticed something fishy,
Good for a chuckle.
Good point. I agree. It would be interesting to know what the AA percentage is amongst those with degrees in this administration.
98%? LOL
How can that be?
I’ve been repeatedly told only evil corporations and capitalist take short cuts and endanger peoples lives...
That taking the profit out of things make people competent and ethical and brings things into reach of the poor...
Freeking morons...
Yep. But our press is “working for you!” or so they tell you. Riggght.
Ping...
Nope. You'd be blocked by parents who did not want to answer awkward questions, and hunted by politicians for the same reason...
Sort of laughing at this as it is FINALLY getting some traction, but this was reported in American media quite some time ago.
I know I posted it into one of the Ebola chat threads a few weeks ago from an old source.
I had been searching for “lost ebola vials” at the time...google that catchy little phrase for some hair raising frights...smallpox to ebola to sars and guanarito....all done gone missing .... BOOO!
Don’t kid yourselves, it’s not just AA students and hires.
The amount of cheating in academia has been rampant since before the Clinton years and has grown rapidly until it’s become culturally accepted.
Remember Josh Steiner in WC administration that under oath to avoid resposibility said he lied in his work diary.
Academic plaigarism has skyrocketed in the internet age. Twenty years an Ivy league MArch was almost literally copying a design from an Italian design ccompetition. When confronted, without batting an eye he told us it was an “homage” (silent haitch). Not more than a few hundred folks on the planet might have seen photos of the original drawings so he felt safe lifting it. Appropriately enough, later he was a member of the design team for the WJC Library.
That would never happen with the ebola virus, right?
Thanks. I’d like to think it hasn’t gotten that bad, but I sure wouldn’t bet on it. You could very well be right.
CDC = Emory University = AA liberal nightmare.
When you see the scientist in the movie locking themselves in quarantine to save their fellow humans... I am here to tell you: nope, those liberals at the CDC will be the FIRST ones leaving town when it goes bad.
That’s all you need to know.
