She looks at those calling for her quarantine as backward yahoos who operate with illogical unscientific superstition. The trouble with narcissists like her, they will be just the ones who will spread this dangerous disease when they are asymptomatic carriers like Mary Mallon. “Nurse” Hickox may be the Mary Mallon of our day. It is prudent to treat them as if they are asymptomatic with the appropriate procedures in place for society’s protection.
But as one official put it, the truth is that "we don't know what we don't know" about Ebola and it is therefore no less unscientific for an agenda-driven hack like Kaci Hickox to say unequivocally that she does not have Ebola before the incubation period is complete and her blood tests negative for the virus.
It is SCIENTIFIC to say that WE DON'T KNOW whether or not Kaci Hickox has Ebola. And since we do not know, it is not unreasonable to err on the side of caution until we do know!
Ms. Hickox referred to the "abundance of politics" that was driving the call for her quarantine.
I would agree that there is an "abundance of politics" at play here....an "abundance of politics" that is driving Ms. Hickox's objection to and violation of the quarantine imposed on her for the public good.
But the "abundance of politics" at play here is Ms. Hickox's politics!!!!......the kind of bottom-feeding politics that would even stoop to exploiting an Ebola outbreak with a view to further dragging this country down to the level of a third world socialist craphole - like the one from which Ms. Hickox just returned.
