I’m sure the CDC, like every FedGov agency, is filled with incompetents, political hacks and affirmative action hires.
The utter incompetence and idiocy on display from the CDC is a glaring example of what can happen when you try to "educate" people beyond their intelligence or ability and when you inculcate people with leftist dogma instead of educating them and teaching them to think.
"Dr. Tom Frieden, CDC director:
"You cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else"
"We must attack Ebola at the source but a quarantine and travel ban wouuld cause it to spread."
