(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."

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?
