The lies behind the “official” Ebola transmission sources was obvious to anyone who spent more than 30 seconds thinking about.

If the doctors, nurses, and workers were taking all of the precautions shown in various videos taken during the outbreak’s initial weeks how were they getting infected?

I don’t know about the rest of you but I don’t go around wearing full medical gowns covered in plastic with eye goggles and a mask of some sort. Nor do I disinfect the surfaces of those items prior to moving on to another job or disrobing.

I am beginning to think that what the Government and LMSM are feeding us is designed to keep us calm. See articles and books about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic to see how various nations, world wide, initially tried to handle the situation.

The only proven successful way to prevent the Spanish Flu from gaining a foothold was, as practiced by Japan, American Samoa, and New Caledonia, through quarantines and restrictions on international travel entering and leaving their territories.

Drastic acts then and now.

But, with Spanish Flu infection rates up to 50%, spreading across the US in a week (travel by train was the fastest way) and an estimated morality rate to 10-20% of those infected were they really? More importantly will they be?

There is no doubt that the airports in Freetown, Monrovia, Conakry and probably Bamako should have been closed 2 weeks ago.

But doing that is as inconceivable to the people in charge as fighting wars to win is. They cannot think of it, so they cannot do it.

The latest CDC talking points sent out last week are urging us to fight stigma and discrimination.

This is not an Obama-only problem. It is a form of mental illness which affects most Republicans as well, and it is killing our societies.

Ebola is much less of a threat than is the inability to draw relevant distinctions, i.e., to discriminate.

It would be bad for tourism if all Americans ran around in masks, goggles, gloves, disposable overshoes, rubber suits and the rest. Plus, if we get taken out, we will no longer be causing all that darned globull warming. Its for the greater good.
