Kaci Hickox has a message for politicians: “Please stop calling me ‘the Ebola Nurse.’”
The 33-year-old nurse from Maine called out Gov. Chris Christie and civic leaders in an op-ed she wrote in The Guardian.
“I never had Ebola. I never had symptoms of Ebola,” Hickox writes. “I tested negative for Ebola the first night I stayed in New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s private prison in Newark.”
Hickox, of course, is referring to the tent inside University Hospital in Newark she was kept in upon returning from Sierra Leone, where she was volunteering with Doctors Without Borders.
Her defiance of quarantine policies in New Jersey and later when she arrived home in Maine led to a tide of media coverage.
Hickox claims Christie and Maine Gov. Paul LePage used her in a sense to further their own agendas.
“Christie and my governor in Maine, Paul LePage, decided to disregard medical science and the constitution in hopes of advancing their careers,” she said. “They bet that, by multiplying the existing fear and misinformation about Ebola … they could ultimately manipulate everyone and proclaim themselves the protectors of the people.
“Politicans who tell lies such as ‘she is obviously ill’ and mistreat citizens by telling them to ‘sit down and shut up’ will hopefully never make it to the White House.”

She broke the law. Maybe not that specific one, but she is more a criminal than those fine folks helping themselves to stuff in Ferguson.
Nitpicking the specific violation does not make this scofflaw a saint. She would have happily infected you and your children. She is worse than a drunk driver, and many here feel DDs should be shot.
May she rot in hell.
No, she didn't. She broke no law, and, contrary to the opinion of many here, she put no one at risk. As has been repeated ad nauseam, Ebola can only be transmitted by an infected person after the onset of symptoms; Hickox has not displayed any symptoms of Ebola, and there is no indication that she was ever infected.
She broke the Law of Common Decency.
Creating a public nuisance is breaking the law. She did far more than this. She created a public health danger.
Don’t forget the other ebola narcissist, Dr Bowling, that jerk cost NYC 20 million bucks in hid public endangerment stunt. He should be in prison now that he isn’t shedding the virus.
And this idiot nurse, perhaps she is a symptomless carrier, even today.
She isn’t as all knowing as she thinks she is:

Why doesn’t she just shut up and go away. ( I know-— I know. She doesn’t want to. Sigh)
I guess ebola nurse’s agenda didn’t go as planned.

Anytime she is seen in public- people should point and yell it is the Ebola nurse.
She wanted to be famous- let her enjoy her next 20 yrs.
No, you are the nurse that chose to ignore quarantine, and put your neighbors at risk for your own selfish reasons.
Stupid Ebola Nurse.
