CDC Director Frieden Once Called Tobacco Execs “Mass Murderers”
gotnews.com ^ | October 24, 2014 | Charles C. Johnson

"Says Frieden, who’s been fiercely vilified by the tobacco industry for his bluntly aggressive attack on cigarettes: “I was once quoted, accurately, as saying that during the years I spent fighting TB, my enemy was a micro-bacterial—tuberculosis—but now it’s an even lower form of life: tobacco executives! An executive from Phillip Morris actually wrote to me and complained, basically, that this was a form of hate speech, and I had to agree. So I no longer use that expression. Now I just stick to the facts and describe tobacco company executives as mass murderers.”

Seems the tables may have turned. If the viral escape in NYC breaks out, HE may be the biggest mass murderer of all! All because they REFUSE to protect us from foreign disease.

Every person who smokes makes a conscious decision to light up and smoke every time they pull one out of the pack. There isn’t a sentient person alive who is unaware of the dangers of smoking.

Doesn’t the tobacco plant allow the something to grow on it to make medicine they used to treat Ebola?

Always keep in mind that the Democrat party is the party which adores death.

Rush has touched on that on his show. There is something from a tobacco plant which is helpful against Ebola.

What I send in his direction is something a little more pungent.

The tobacco plants used to make ZMapp have been genetically modified to do so. Regular tobacco plants can’t make those antibodies.

I think that is marijuana that does that. I read one of the posts form someone that advocates for its legalization that it cures epilepsy. The general drift I get from its advocates is that it also cures blindness, restores kidneys when they fail. I think that they also believes that it will cure every disease and illness known to man, its usage will resurrect the dead. Only their modesty prevents them from stating this. The additional benefits from legalizing the use of marijuana will be the emptying out of hospitals and doctor's offices, thus doing away with obamacare. And once the cemeteries are empty, they will be more land for the environmentalists to protect.

Well, probably. But let me tell you. Democrats don’t like Obama being called Obola or the Ebola President, and they certainly aren’t liking the buffoonish perception most people are forming about the CDC. If they eff this up (off to a good start) they’ll be known as the Center for Death Concentration or similar. Absolute frigging incompetents.
